People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s....
@dromme“BTW , I can make my Klipsch sound very much like my Harbeth by placing a towel or light blanket over the horn .”Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and if you prefer 25 year old Klipsch speakers covered with a blanket or towel th... 
How can I punish this Chinese audio dealer
I have had terrific outcomes with Asia based dealers but I do my due diligence and support local/regional dealers first. If something is only available through an Asia based source, like any other transaction, do your homework. Based on your post,... 
High End is Dead?
The data is pretty clear, more people can "afford" audio gear than ever before. I would submit more people are listening to music than ever before at a higher quality level to boot.  The problem is that entry level gear is so available and afforda... 
Is this the end of HEA?
How do you know if your speaker's version of nothing, combined with your electronics' version of nothing (and ancillaries, cables, etc) combine to let you hear everything possible on the recording? No one has a perfectly neutral system. 
Buchardt S400s
Yo may want to be careful with the Sta-200, I’m not sure it is a great match with a solid 4 ohm load, which to Buchardts are. 
All Kit are Band-Aids
Indeed. He may have omitted those to avoid detection by the Bilderbergers and the Council on Foreign Relations. Next thing you know, he will be holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy. 
All Kit are Band-Aids
DSOTM, of course! I've heard that wearing hats made from aluminum foil negate the effects of the frequency thing. 
Is this the end of HEA?
I'm sure there were a very serious group of individuals sitting around worrying that their Marconis were failing to gain traction. They were enjoying listening to Caruso live on a single speaker and were certain the apocalypse was upon them. Then,...

I wish the OP had a different hobby. 
USB to SPIDIF converter for MAC
Singxer SU-1 is what you are after if you require higher rez than the Schiit Eitr. 
Integrated amplifier search
Schiit Bifrost multibit, Schiit Saga pre and Schiit Vidar amp. About $1,650 all together and it would have the small form factor you are after, provide multiple upgrade paths for the future and likely be a considerable upgrade from your present se... 
Dynaudio Xeo 20 vs KEF LS50 Wireless
Mine streams fine using the Kef's as a Roon end point. With that said, I like the sound achieved through the usb and I had a Macbook available. It all depends on your wifi setup and your router. No issues here. 
Best 6x9 Speakers
While they aren't 6x9 speakers and since there is "no window" to post about car audio on Audiogon, I will offer my favorite from many moons ago.I loved my Acoustic Research AR2's (set into the parcel well, removing the package shelf) wired into my... 
Dynaudio Xeo 20 vs KEF LS50 Wireless
The KEF LS50 wireless are an exceptional value and super easy to set up. I have a pair and do a superb job in checking all the boxes we all seem to seek. They are not my main speaker system but this is the future of audio. They are cheap enough th... 
One DAC/integrated you could be happy with forever?
I enjoy my Audio Research GSI75. I've had alot of fine gear, this piece gets it pretty darn right. I can understand at its $16,000 price it didn't fly off the shelves. Additionally, many of our peers prefer multiple boxes which is fine too. Horses...
