Audio as a weapon
I really appreciate the comments. Physics is really amazing both for what we know and don’t know. It appears to me that some sort of "audio" (or microwave or...???) weapon has been invented that induces hearing and brain related problems that oper... 
Airist Audio discrete R-2R DAC, at an unbelievable $350!!!!!
It is my understanding that the quality of an R2R dac is determined by having very accurately matched resistors in its ladder design. How accurately matched can one expect the resistors to be for $350.00 total cost? 
What are you streaming tonight?
Kansas, Masque 
Whats playing on your system today?
Rush, "Trees" & " La Villa Strangiato".  
Beware the audio guru
If we can get back to the subject matter now......a couple of things come to mind. As a specialized counselor my wife does a lot of work with brains....that is of course, while they are still in people’s heads. Even though our anatomy may be simil... 
What are you streaming tonight?
London Grammar "Hey Now" via Tidal hifi. 
DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS?
Do you have a dac that would allow the use of a transport or do you need a CD player with built in dac? 
Tidal does not post the cost to buy a song or an album on their site

Holo Audio Spring Dac, At last a Stereophile review and tests
Hmmm, I have the Level 3 Spring with the Singxer fed by an Aurender N100H and it rivals my CD transport for quality of sound.  I have been very happy with it. I have to admit that I am curious about the Denafrips Terminator although it is at a muc... 
Speaker recomendation
+1 for the Legacy's. Despite the fact that you don't like dealers hawking their wares I believe the Legacy's would be a great choice for this space. 
RE: Suggestions for Tidal Streaming problems caused by Internet Connection Problems
I use Tidal via AT&T as an ISP and I have never had a problem through my N100H. I guess I should consider myself lucky. One concern I have is with the end of net neutrality and the effect it may have on streaming high quality content. I guess ... 
Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER!
Oh damn! The first thing that pops up on his website is a picture of Vienna Acoustic "The Music". I really want to hear a pair of those.http://www.soundingshifi.com/ 
too bad Audiogon seems to have morphed to fussy, picky buyers
I have to admit that I have both bought and sold here (mostly bought) and all of my transactions have been smooth, knock on wood. So perhaps I have just been lucky. Everyone I have dealt with has been fair and good natured.
