Furutech & Oyaide
I use Oyaide 501 BNC for clock cables on my Terminator 15th/Hermes.  
A little puzzled by my newly acquired Yamaha A-S801
Buy an SVS sub on sale right now.  
USB and Coaxial at the same time?
So I reached out to Aurender Support, this is what they had to say: Thank you for reaching out with your question about your Aurender N200.   Yes, you can indeed have both the USB and Coaxial SPDIF outputs connected at the same time. This setup a... 
Furutech PC's?
@ryder   Well I cannot change the PC 0n my old Shunyata Hydra. I just had a new cord made a few months ago with DH Labs RED Wave Signature and a special plug. Where I am investigating new PC is on my amp, where there is a DH Labs Red Wave Signatur... 
USB and Coaxial at the same time?
@audphile1   Yes it has NOS-OS soft and sharp filers. I like OS/Soft. I think the problem with some older 70's rock is it was engineered to play on boom boxes. Maybe that is a fallacy, I don't know.  NOS seems to shrink soundstage to me. Maybe the... 
USB and Coaxial at the same time?
@glenmschneider I really am not looking to find which is better per say. But I remember a while ago I compared and the coaxial was less detailed and transparent. Which for rock music recorded in the 70’s that may be fine in some cases..so all I w... 
USB and Coaxial at the same time?
Well to be clear, I highly prefer USB. But I was wondering if on some of the older Rock recordings if switching to coaxial may smooth it out a bit. I just wanted to try it and see what happens.  
Furutech PC's?
@audphile1   Yes it does! Thanks for the information sir.  
A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC
Pontus 15th only because of it's younger age and it will be very close to the original Termy in sound. The bad news is the Denafrips DAC's prices just increased due to Tariffs unfortunately.  
Spatial Audio Raven Preamp
@yyzsantabarbara    I ended up not needing a preamp, I use a Legacy Audio Wavelet II as my Preamp. I drive the top of my Legacy Focus XD's with the Coda and the internal amps in the speakers drive the bass. The Wavelet II has room correction softw... 
The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain
Aurender N200 + T+A DAC 200. (T+A has preamp section.)  @Blisshifi can get you both for a good price below your budget.  
Got Innuous, now a DAC
FWIW, you can get a new Pontus 15th for far less than MSRP through @audioman58. Bump the budget a little more and get a fantastic Venus 15th. (Which is essentially the old Terminator II)  
Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option?
Typical distance from rear wall: 2-4′ (60-120cm) Personal rant: The wall behind the speakers is the FRONT WALL. It's the wall in FRONT of the listener but behind the speakers. If this is the back wall then what is the wall behind the listene... 
I am checking out these DAC's for my system
@brbrock FWIW, you can buy a brand new Terminator 15th for the price of the used  Terminator Plus and it’s the same DAC except for the fancy faceplate. @audioman58 can help you get one for a good price.  
Preamp for my CODA 5.5 amp
FWIW, this most likely won't be of any help but I am using the Legacy Audio Wavelet II into my Coda S5.5 which is driving the mid/treble of my Legacy Focus XD's. The Waveet is also an external crossover and has Room Correction DSP specifically pro...
