| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary If you want a streamer without built-in DAC, there is the Lindemann Network II for about $1000USD. (You can add an USB drive if desired) The app is excellent as well. There is also the Melco N100 with 5tb storage for $2500 - possibly the best sou... | |

| Looking for a component for ripping and playing CD's. I also mention the Melco N100 - which comes equipped with either 2tb or 5tb internal HDD, depending on the size of your CD collection and how many high-rez files you might buy over the next decade.

| Requesting opinions about 4 specific amplifiers Have a look at the Audia Flight Integrated Amps - FLS9 or FLS10. They have the speed and transparent quality that will bring your Dynaudios to life. | |
| Revel Performa3 Cabinet Defect A couple of notes - we have no idea if the Revel Performas in the OP are brand new or 5 years old. Are they second hand? Warranties often do not cover speaker finishes as the manufacturer cannot control where or how the speaker has be used. Sitti... | |
| Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner? Of course you can and should use a power conditioner but it does depend on which one. I can recommend the Audience power conditioners or at a less expensive price the Puritan PSM156. Which does DC removal as well. | |
