I have perfected my network for the nth time
I’m not taking sides on this debate. I see valid points on each side. If the measured sound going in, sine wave, is the exact same coming out, how can anyone hear a sound difference? Is the more to sound than we understand? Or more to hearing that...

Fredrik222 I’m not doubting you. I found the video fascinating so I figured I’d share it. These guys can determine the sound from the movement of an object. Really cool technology.

Some new discoveries regarding sound. Interesting. Type this YouTube New video technology that reveals an object's hidden properties Just another example that we don’t know everything about sound and hearing.   
Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes
Are the Mullards fully broken in? Tubes can be quite harsh sometimes in the beginning.

I did add the Amperex as Dan suggested. I love them compared to the Electro Harmonix. It’s a good unit for sure. I’m new to this world of tubes. I had the same ss system for 25 years. I now have a tube dac, preamp and amp. Perhaps my nativety, I t... 
Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes
Good point Tomcy6. The only other 6922 I’ve used is the Electro Harmonix. Not a big sample pool. The Amperex are just better overall and more pleasing to listen to. I’m probably confusing warm with more pleasing and easy to listen to. Also, I have... 
When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached?
If you can’t measure it it doesn’t exist according to the ASR crew. I asked a question there once and was surprised by the quick attack to legitimate questions. I was new and apparently asked a question regarding measurements and how we hear thing... 
When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached?
I kind of view sound “differences” in dacs like flavors in foods. Ingredients can be the same but can taste differently based on how they are prepared. Also, everyone tastes that same food differently. Hearing is the same way. Science does not hav...

Thanks for the replay and great to hear. I’ve heard nothing but good things regarding the sound from Rockna. Glad you’re loving yours and good luck with it.   
Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes
I use the Amperex in the yellow and green box. I think it’s made in Holland but is quite expensive, around $180 a tube when I bought them. Sounds wonderful in my ModWright modded Cambridge cxn v2. Warm and very easy to listen to for long periods o...

Thanks for sharing your dac experiences. What a journey! I’m just ordered another dac, which will be my fourth in the last year. The Cambridge cxn v2 modded by ModWright is so easy to listen to but I feel it lacks some detail. Topping d90 has wond... 
Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please!
I too have been shopping for a streamer, seems like 6 months, and I’ve read every review and article on the ones you listed above. I think it’s important to get a newer release with the technology and/or features changing I was on board with the I... 
New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport
With their use of i2s and optical, if implemented correctly, this will be a big advantage for audiophiles over other products. I do remember reading somewhere that there were some issues with using optical for home audio. If anyone knows, please s...
