Can This Really Matter?
@dadork Thanks! Yeah good cables everywhere else .  
What Can I Do With This LPS?
@blisshifi  Anyway, thanks for your help. Not wanting to take any chances, I’m going to have my friend test it and tell me what it was set for.     
What Can I Do With This LPS?
Actually I’m assuming the amperes was set at 2. The unit I replaced used 2 amperes for power.   
What Can I Do With This LPS?
@blisshifi  So when it was bought, the seller set the ampere at 2 for that particular wall wart that I was replacing. What’s confusing to me is this spec: +3.3vdc @ 3a +14vdc @ 1a (internally adjustable from 12vdc to 14.8vdc)  
What Can I Do With This LPS?
@blisshifi Thank you kindly. Yeah, matching the voltage rating is where I might have issue. Sometimes I see it posted and at other times I don’t. I have a streamer/ renderer connected via 7 cat ethernet to a separate router and I’m thinking I coul...

Could be a software issue between the Aurender and the Sony.

Which USB Re Clocker
I  still use my Uptone Audio ISO Regen with the Ultra Cap linear power supply. I have an Ayre QB9 Twenty and even with the DAC upgrade, the ISO Regen with Galvanic Isolation switched on makes a noticeable improvement. If your DAC is relatively new... 
T+A Dac 200 HDMI issues
See if your able to play DSD from a different DSD transport. Your dealer should be able to do this for you. It doesn't sound to me like the problem is with the DAC but rather the Sony.  
Songs with excellent advice?
I hate 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' because it's a hypocritical, didactic lecture from a group who are collectively worth over $200,000,000.00 and who have always gotten everything they've ever wanted and more. Don't be fooled into thinkin...

Adding a Dac and Stresmer
Bryston was mentioned, they make great sounding products and an excellent company too. Ayre is another company you may want to consider. A friend of mine uses an Audionote DAC and really likes it.   
Meandering Pitch, Where’s The Problem?
Great advice from everyone. My thoughts regarding the spindle hole is that wow would be present in more than one or two spots if it were the cause, though I admit I don't know this for sure. Now regarding the pulley, there is an upgrade replacemen... 
Meandering Pitch, Where’s The Problem?
@oddiofyl Oh sorry, I mistook you for Dave. So what’s the antidote? If it’s tension then wouldn’t a new belt resolve the issue? I can say that the Origin Live belts are wider than the Thorens belts so I gently widened the metal hook next to the pu... 
Meandering Pitch, Where’s The Problem?
@boothroyd Thanks Dave. You've been helpful the many times I've posted. I can do as you suggest but I fail to understand 'I believe you’ll see it hunting along the taper causing the pitch deviation.' Would you please clarify?
