seeking advise please on my short list for new speakers? (15k budget)

Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update
So for those that have updated the Venus II and have some time on them what are the changes to it? Any downgrade at all, excessive brightness or  sibilance?  I was hoping for a bit more transparency, maybe better bass control and soundstage improv...

@jerrybj   How does this T-S212 work? Ethernet signal in and out of the same box to filter it and lower noise floor or do you need 2 of them connected on both ends?

Ripping CD's to SSD?
Yesterday I tried ripping a CD to a random thumb drive to see if I could do it. I used Exact Audio Copy soft ware "ripper" and it ripped the CD. My problem is in the software I cannot figure how to tell it to rip to USB thumb drive. The folder lab... 
Ripping CD's to SSD?
