Using Oppo 205 instead of per amp processor
I used a lower end Oppo with a Parasound P7 very successfully.  May have been the best HT sound I've ever had at the end of the day. The P7 had 7.1 inputs and outputs, allowing you to use it as both a stereo preamp and HT control center.  Also, A... 
am I missing something?
I wouldn't change a thing unless I heard other systems that brought more to my life. Your listening lifestyle contributes a great deal to what is right for you, and you may have it.  The kind of music you like to listen to, what volume, when, how... 
Magico - Wide vs. Narrow
When I was thinking of Magico as a wide-baffle, I was thinking of the M5 with the ring radiator. It has a baffle that is proud of the cabinet. For me this is still a wide-baffle speaker. I’m also not trying to pick on Magico per se, just looking ... 
Not an AR-3 crossover but right part number
Diyaudio.com is your best resource  
Static on Audirvana sometimes
I'm not sure about your particular case but this used to happen to me due to changing resolutions, like going from 44.1/16 to 96/24.  I solved it by going into my settings and increasing the time between songs or something like that.  Another solu... 
??? What Is The MOST Expensive System You Ever Heard ??? What Was Your Opinion ???
I’ve heard a lot of expensive systems at shows and most of them left me feeling meh. Among them the original, snail shell B&W Nautiulus driven by stacks of Krell amplifiers and crossovers. In terms of exceptionally good sounding and too rich ... 
Please explain mono
Should point out that while the mono switch is useful for those without separate mono cartridges, these recordings should be listened to from a single speaker, or pair very close together to get the tonal balance right. Our heads provide natural ... 
Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting?
@shtinkydog : Sir, this is a thread about microwaves, not toaster ovens.   
Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?
Joni Mitchell?    
Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting?
Remember that period of time when receivers had a variety of sound fields available?   
Room is way too bright.
If you can't do anything else there's a variety of window film and installers.  Personally I dislike traditional blinds as I find they often don't cut enough light, or leave obnoxious holes of light through. If you need to cut solar heat transfer... 
Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting?
@larsman  You are right.  The revolving platter is now such a ubiquitous feature I completely ignored it, but it's essential.   
The end of physical media is neigh
For the record...   I did not misspell the title of this thread.  I typed it correctly but Audiogon's server software changed it.  Horrible bug that creates typos where none existed before.  I know others have suffered from this too.  << a... 
Streamers and software
Can you try Roon?  Supports Qobuz and Tidal. I don't use the playlist features very much though.  
How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC
Prior to that I'd say a great deal.  In the last 10 years though?  Not in my mind. The advent of cheap femto clocks and DACs which do much better with Redbook (44.1kHz/16 bit stereo) than the previous generation happened around 2000 or so.  Afte...
