Computer to DAC Streamer
I went with a Bluesound Node and use Ayre Codex's for DAC's.Very simple and affordable. Great sound, too.I would also consider Aurender. I got one of Sam Laufer's Mini, but am still working on getting it set up.Bob

Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed

Calling all Vandersteen Fans
@tomic601 .That's a nice offer. But, beware. I loaned a CD demagnetizer to another Agoner and never got it back.😠-no matter, I haven't opened a CD in years after finding streaming music-(though demagnetizing CD's did make a difference).Bob 
Vandersteen VLR CT
My VLR's are mounted near the ceiling/corners of the room with a little downward tilt and angling toward my desk.I wish I could listen a little further away, but that is where they have to go.I love the way they sound.( I had a pair of Zu Omen Boo...
