Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source?
I stream from my PC to a DAC and then my amp. I looked at posts from this site saying how great streamers were and bought an Aurender N20 with a T+A DAC 200. I had each of these set up on different inputs into my amp and was able to switch quickly... 
Open baffle speakers
I've always thought that open baffle and planar/ribbon speakers have a sound that either attracts you or not. It is an open transparent sound that got me instantly. I am very happy with my Spatial Audio Lab X5s which I consider my endgame speakers.  
Need help with Eversolo A8
I'm pretty sure that Apple Music has options regarding the space between music in the settings on the Eversolo.  
Need help with Eversolo A8

Audio Cables: All the Same?
I don't know if the difference in cables would hold up to ABX testing for most people. I initially thought that there was no difference in cables but tried a couple of expensive but not too expensive (under $1,000) cables and heard what I believe ... 
As I get older...
When I experimented with Class D, I found that the KEF LS50s (Meta in my case) absolutely loved Class D and brought out a range I had never heard before from these speakers. However, the Class D amp didn't play well with my main speakers so I didn... 
Class D Audio
I bought his (Tom's) Ganfet Class D amp as an experiment. It ran into some trouble and I communicated with Tom and demonstrated that I had tried all combinations to make sure it was the amp which was the problem. He took it back, no questions, and... 
OPINIONS REGARDING DYNAVECTOR DV20X2-H/L

Small footprint subwoofer
