Amp repair cost — is this right?
I just recapped an old Krell 400xi integrated amp for a friend. I replaced almost every single electrolytic cap for him.  This included about 20 surface mounts and perhaps another 50 caps including the larger power supply filtering caps.  I used c... 
why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable???
So we have some folks saying a $300 Topping dac will sound as good, the same, as the new Mojo Audio Evo dac ($5500-$12,000) when inserted into the exact same high end system. “High End” meaning a system all reviewers and Aphiles would agree is cap... 
Policy question: can I give away stereo equipment out here (asking for shipping)?
Yes.  May be forced to put in $1.   
Best USB CABLE UNDER $1000. Serious answers only?
Easy......Sablon Audio.  It is fantastic!  
spend on the streamer or on the DAC ?
Thanks @thyname as I did not realize the poster used all these past usernames.

@dannadFew posts, but loud and proud. More of what is ruining this site. Not going to waste my time and knowledge with you as your attitude is quite clear. For the record I have been inside a Mojo unit and done extensive work.  Carry on....

The Mojo dac is far from crude and you should do your homework before saying such a thing. Ben is a digital expert and builds one of the very best sounding dacs available at any price. Simplicity in design executed brilliantly is a magical audio r... 
Mojo Audio Mystique EVO
You folks missed the point and this is so important. The reason it doesn’t sound loud is the harmonic coherency…everything is in proper time and tune. Also, the absense of noise. Distortion sounds loud.  
Think fast: What would you take?
We don’t seem to understand each other. I don’t post political stuff, you do quite often of late.  Most of it is name calling. I will leave it at that. This site has gone to the dogs. Best to just opt out. 
New sheriff in town: Luxman D-10x
Great review. Makes me want one 🤓. Wonder how it compares to my Mojo Audio Evo dac? I love the type of sound Steve was expressing about the d-10x and find the Evo has it also.

Many readers understand @audition__audio point. Reasonable thoughts.  
First Sound MK III preamplifier
Tvad is correct. Great sounding preamp with outstanding build quality. The FS design, in large measure, comes from Paul Weitzel of Tube Research Labs. The design is spectacular as Paul was a design wizard! He helped Emmanuel with the overall desig...

I was also given the same response. Great news, but far too confusing and a mess to follow.  Not Innuos’s fault as the response was as clear as they could make it.  
Update on Audiogon Member Almarg
Al has long been Audiogon’s go to source for answers and an example of how to behave like a gentleman on this or any forum. What a shock.  I pray for you Al. I have always had great respect for you Al. I am not sure how to put into words my feelin...

Wonder why the Innuos brand is not listed on the Roon site as Roon certified?
