Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20
I have the Legacy Audio Focus XD's. I also have the Wavelet II so I am "all in" and I am deeply satisfied with them. I don't find them fatiguing at all. I am sensitive to that so I pay attention to speakers that present being overly detailed. I ha...

Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled
Ah, good point! Yes when I inquired at Audience the designer told me that the Reserve would just be "more of everything" but it's not "Silvery" sounding in the sense of extreme brightness.   
Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled
That’s awesome, finding that "gem" that ties a system together is so rewarding. In my case the Audience did that but I have a different  DAC and system. (Speakers, amp, pre) IDK if it’s the R2R or what but the resolution was a transformation. Funn... 
Auarender N10 On Sale
@audphile1   I concur with your conclusion. A good USB, a good PC and good DAC. This brings a new level of enjoyment.  When I get back from FL in the spring I am experimenting with PC's on my DAC or Amp. I can afford one. Snake River Audio has my ... 
Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled

Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?
To clear the air, I have not been trying to like Jazz for 30+ years, I am coming back to try and learn what I like because I have a great system and a lot more time. (I rebuilt my Audio System from my 15 years absence from it because life had othe...

DAC for Aurender N200
@vthokie83 Thanks. 25 years ago, I moved the equipment into a dedicated room I carved out of a 14 x18 corner of our basement. I was working long days and hours and wanted a place to escape after a tough day in the biz and not bother the shared co... 
DAC for Aurender N200
+1 @vthokie83  I have this combo, I am over the moon happy with it now that I have over 500 hours on it. Clock sync feature too. I listen for hours every day.
