Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all?
mclinnguy I agree that looks are part of it.  I love turning on the blue/green meters. After chasing the perfect sound for a few years I have settled on what works for me.  Sounds like your in the same camp. Cheers and Happy Christmas.

Wywires Platinum cables.  I also tried Nagra amp and pre against the mcintosh stuff.  It was better but only incrementally not 3 times better. I take it by your comments you are not a Mcintosh fan. In my experience from a cost for performance an...

dhite71 I agree with your thoughts on streamers. I have tried a lot of streamers, dacs and all in ones. Here are some of the things I have tried: Bluesound (most of the models) DCS Bartok Lumin X1 Lumin P1 Lumin U2 T+A Dac 200  Berkeley A... 
Bluesound Node Icon
Thanks dhite71.  That is great information. I have a second system in my lake house where I am using a Node N130 into a Border Patrol DAC into a Mcintosh MA6500.  I think I am going to sell the N130 and BP DAC and get an Icon for that setup.   I... 
Bluesound Node Icon
Moonwatcher - How did you determine there is a better power supply in the icon?

Bluesound Node Icon
Hi Thanks for the feedback.  I need to stay in the bluesound family because I have 3 zones in my home and need multiroom.    
Mcintosh C2800 and C55
  Great Video  
When will McIntosh update the C2700 with the C2800?
Great video     
When will McIntosh update the C2700 with the C2800?
I thought the C12000 was pretty new  
When will McIntosh update the C2700 with the C2800?
C2800 is here!  
Lumin Hifi Rose or Aurender
I was going to pull the trigger on the  T+A Dac 200 and Lumin U2. Then I saw the NAD M66 and thought that since I have 2 other Bluesound Node zones the BlueOS M66 makes a lot of sense. Probably get better overall sound from the T+A and Lumin but ... 
Berkeley Audio Design and MQA?
@8th-note  I enjoyed your post.  A voice of reason :-) I have a berkeley Alpha DAC 3 and it is a fantastic product for anyone seeking a great price to performance ratio (in the high end category).  The guys at Berkeley are some of the best min...
