| USB DACs that outperforms OPPO 105D's internal DAC? The Oppo is getting older now and DAC's have come a long way in the last few years. I'd bet a good many newer DAC's will out perform the internal one in the Oppo. Schiit Audio, a whole host of Asian DAC's, and so many more. I'd bet any DAC above ... | |

Pure Audio project have been on my radar for a while now but i don't believe i have the space for them. I've also looked at Rethm but i don't feel they are what i'm looking for obv... | |

| Good streamer that does not need wi-fi or internet to play local files My Aurender streamer will stream my stored files with out internet, it uses an apple tablet to control it via bluetooth/wifi. I'd imagine most streamers that can interface with a hard drive/NAS can also do the same. most phones connect through w... | |
| Why Can't Modern Tube Manufacturers Make a Proper Tube? I’m willing to bet there were far more failed tubes in the early years then most here would like to admit. just the sheer amount made would dictate to a much larger failure rate then we see today. there was also budget cheep tubes made back then s... | |
| What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under the Horns speakers look very interesting. example below. they have a really large range that's surprising for a smaller company. Symphony 10” – hORNS | |

| Balance DAC and phono stage outputs to match SPL? if your tying to match gains for some reason why? do you feel the volume control should be at the same place for both ? is that something that bothers you? id not worry about the difference in gain ( unless you have way too much or too little) jus... | |
| Pre-amp with solid state/passive AND tube modes (Like Schiit Freya+) If your worried about tube life in small signal tube don't they last for a very long time many years if not decades, some of the good ones are even rated for many thousands of hours 20,000+. I use my mac tube preamp everyday for both music and TV ... |
