New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui
So based on that (thank you) I guess volume offset is just the same as turning the MM volume down -2db.  But it is once and done, and the -2db does not seem to reduce sound quality  at least to my ears..  6v output still works and I do not have an... 
Interconnect
Well you didn't exactly define 'less expensive'.  I have K=S Realization in my home, but for my occasional weekend cottage I found these Arcadia interconnects from Zafvino an excellent value.  I like all copper.  Great build quality. https://zavf...

I looked again at Volume Offset in the MM app. I noticed by selecting -2 its value is -2dB (as opposed to -2v).  Somehow this is different than decreasing volume, which in their digital domain causes a resolution loss.  I do not think you loose ...

I do not doubt that that the distortion goes away at the 2v output; same here. What I am saying is that we do not have to turn it all the way down to 2v.  Use the Volume Offset instead.

Hello @phishhhhh4 ,  Good info but confusing me a bit.  You (Mola Mola) are saying there is no difference as long as you turn the volume down using 6v or up using 2v?  This is not what I found to be true.  At the 6v output, on some recordings, the...

Floor standing speaker suggestions for McIntosh MXA70 (MHA150)
YG Carmel 2's.  Smooth and resolving.  I find the SF dull sounding compared to the B/W's  
If you like the music Alison Krauss & Robert Plant have made together.....

Buying Used Equipment on the Internet
I have sold many items with 100% positive feedback and will only accept PayPal if it IS F/F.  There are several reasons here.  1) PP never supports the seller if there is a dispute, and fraudulent buyers can lock up the money while they have your... 
Questions on Dedicated 20 amp home wiring
I agree with @ghdprentice : Use 10 gauge regardless of length.  Sounds better I am told so why not? At least 2 dedicated runs but I did two and then did two more!!!  So do four and be set. I did not spend a ton and used PS Audio outlets.  They ... 
Audionet?
The Makua Preamp with internal Tambaqui is killer.  But the Pre G2 with separate Tambaui DAC is slightly better.  I now have the Stern and Heisenbergs with the Tambaqui :)  There is great synergy between Audionet Amps and preamps.  The Makua is in...

Disappointing On Mcintosh......help
For me at least it is not about being a Mc hater.  When I got reinvigorated in chasing great sound, I went through lots of equipment.  PS Audio, Stellar, sent it back for BHK, sold it.  Tried Audionet Preamp and loved it.  Tried Parasound JC1+'s, ...

@audioman58 , Good Morning!  Are your buddies using separate streamers with the T+A 200?  What amps?  Thanks, Ken

Hi @ja_kub_sz ,  I can only speak about how my Tambaqui interacts with my Audionet Stern (and formerly Audionet Pre G2).  The 6v output sounds better than the 2v output on the Tambaqui.  At 6v I only got the clipping on some recordings, but was su...
