Qobuz, Tidal, etc... Though convenient are supremely limiting.

This is my favorite of remastered Schumann recordings of the golden age. Unfortunately it’s been out of print for some time but used copies may show up from time to time.http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=53135

Orfeo d’ Or reissues historical recordings. My favorites are from the Salzburg Festival. The Clara Haskil remaster is in mono but it’s so amazingly beautiful. Also, many years ago their existed the Andante label and their vintage recording remaste...

Audirvana for OS, hosts Tidal. But needs to be OS and not IOS. 
A Very Useful New Discovery--EON Digital Filter from Network Acoustics
I would make the radical assumption that crate loads of new digital streaming components will come to market and that the prime criteria for judging their effectiveness will be based on hearing them.

An Audiobahn amplifier and pro JBL’s in the rear dash. Lot’s of punch in the bass, the high’s rolled off clean and a rich midrange. I blew an Elco and burned up the outputs in the Audiobahn, then gave the JBL’s to a friend.

mwgreene, I’m just surprised that more of these devices aren’t being manufactured. There’s SoTM, Uptone Audio and this Network Acoustics and from what I know, that’s about it. Occasionally I see the etherRegen on the used market. Anyway, in time I...

mwgreene, thanks! Both the etherRegen and this piece are pretty close in price. I’ve been upgrading my Ayre DAC since I bought it in 2011 and additional $900.00 isn’t too outrages given what I’ve already spent. 
Keith Jarrett may never play again
‘Inside Out’ was my favorite from him. I couldn’t deal with his Bach, Mozart, etc... way too idiosyncratic for classical.

I didn’t realize this device is strictly for streaming. How does it compare with the Uptone Audio Ether Regen? I currently think my Qobuz stream sounds like junk when compared to my CD transport. If this thing really changes streaming quality then...

You may also benefit from a dedicated 20 volt line. Any certified electrician could do this for about $300.00, maybe a little more in LA.
