Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Sherod welcome back and glad to hear you are feeling better. Though I moved to Ayon I still have great respect of AH sound and support and would love to hear the 2.3 myself. 
People buying Transports again?
I have an Ayon CD5s which to my ears still beats all the computer based audio that I have heard. It does have async USB and other digital inputs for later, but I think we will see terrific strides in computer audio in terms of simplicity, cost, an... 
Parasound CD-1
Calvin and EandJ thank you for your thoughts. I compared the Meridian 808.3 memory player to an Ayon CD5s and while Meridian was great I clearly favored and purchased the Ayon with NOS Tubes and have enjoyed it for the reasons Calvin mentioned and... 
Eera Tentation cd player - any thoughts?
Vic, I am very interested in great sound. I am very appreciative that audiophiles are pioneering and advancing computer audio,and will probably someday go to computer audio myself. I do use lossless iTunes for on the road and to deliver meditation... 
Ayon CD5S vs AMR 77
I love my Ayon CD5s with NOS tubes but reading about the AMR 77 temps me to give it a listen. I hope someone has compared them and will report. 
Class D vs Class A
Nuforce with tubed pre can be best of both worlds. Besides power pay attention to bass control and definition, transparency and liquidity 
Found good & affordable amp for Magnepans
NobleI agree with Rxman that an excellent tubed pre such as his TRL Dude and the correct Class D is heavenly. I use an Ayon CD5s in front of mine with great results. Hpex modules can sound good but power supply, vibration control, electronic isola...

I switched years ago from the respected Aragon 8008BB to Class D Nuforce V3SE and have never looked back Congradulations on your discovery. 
Tube dampers/coolers effect on preamp sound?
I did not like the effect with my Audio Horizons Preamp (lost openness and aliveness) though it did stop microphonics 
Isolation for DAC/Class D Power Amp
I found Hyperion Magnetic floaters helpful under my Nuforce Class D amps, but also weighting them down. Many Class D amps are so light-weight in lbs that weighting helps as much with vibration as the isolation. 
First favorite tune
Clickty Clack by Dickity Do and the Donts - just kidding love the title and group name 
Review: Red Dragon Audio M500 MKII Amplifier
Six hours of musical enjoyment flowing by is a great recommendation that there must be no artificial imbalance, grain or hash 
Review: Red Dragon Audio M500 MKII Amplifier
Thank you for posting your review. I have Modded Nuforce V3SE's that are based on a different Class D system and with proper set up and tubed front end I like them very much. Have recently auditioned the Channel Island 500 MK2 and the Anvils. I li... 
Unsatisfied with Esoteric K-01: Alternatives?
Ayon CD5s has an excellent Async USB plus Coax etc for PC audio. It does not do SACD but has inputs digital and analogue that I think can work for separate SACD. Its preamp section and DAC are also excellent. A very natural, musical sound that I w...

The M&W's are over 10,000 times the price of the egg, but only you can decide if it is worth it
