Streamer/DAC - Where is the value?
Hi @jpearson3131  I second the thought that the Mac is not the best.  Much clearer, more resolving components from many companies.  Also, most DACs stream as well.   I have a Tambaqui DAC very top line, but later adding a separate Auralic Aries G2... 
XLR to RCA plugs or cable
Do you mean Neutrik?

I am not messing with you!  I can solder small stuff and have done many speaker wire terminations.I do model trains and the decoders inside them now with LED lighting and resistors takes a learning curve. I was just trying to point out that it is ...

OK that assumes good solder equipment and skills no?

The Neutrik are fine I think.  Do you have Cardas cables?  Ken  
So I was changing a lightbulb last night…
@Durte30 There are 'dimmable' LED bulbs and 'dimmable' LED dimmer switches. I have had many buzz, even one light out of a box of 'dimmable'.  Go ahead and waste some money and try an incandescent bulb..and let us  know!  Cheers to you as well!  
To pricey
I was where you are.   Old Classe electronics, B/W 802N's.   I bought Audionet Max Amps and Pre G2 Preamp (I had already gotten the  Vega DAC).  Wow.  It Sounded like new speakers!!!!   Really.  So when i actually got new speakers, wow again!!!  ...

+1 @johnto...The Nautilus are also awesome.  Many geezers are selling theirs now (think Florida).  I would put the extra $ into the electronics.  The NAD is not up to the abilities of any of the B and W 800 series speakers IMHO.      
Anything close to Hegel H360 but smaller/lighter?
Enjoy it @thomastrouble !!!  The Benchmark gear seems easy to sell here.  I have heard both...  
ETHERNET CABLES
@zappas I have a 15m and a 20m run.   I just bought and ran Supra Cat 8.  It replaced  cheap wire.   Not cheap but not horrible at around $200 and $250.   Make sure you get the  real Supra stuff.   It sounds better.  No doubt.    
Best DACs under $7,000.00
maybe the title could be what streamers or amps have the smoothest sound.

Have you spoken with Bill at GTT about this?  This I gelieve is Putzky's second iteration of class D amps.  The older Kaluga's rocked my Salon 2's, not easy to drive.  And the onboard DAC Tambaqui is world class.

I may have missed this skipping the fibre comments.   SUPRA Cat 8      
What about wall plate connections?
Can you point me? thanks!
