Yet another Qobuz vs. Tidal debate
Tidal with Roon sounds a tad better than CDs in my rig.  It all comes down to your gear on this one. Need a good streamer like Innuos.    
Bruce Moore Custom M125
He makes great sounding amps.  Great! I wish I could afford one used. I have heard his monos before and looked inside lots of his builds.....,first rate.  I owned the Dual 70 years ago at it was wonderful even thought it was his entry level amp.  
Looking for advice on buying new discontinued music server - would you do it?
Does the 2i support Roon? Use as a Roon endpoint?

Yes Doug.  I have made quite a few of these for folks and I also use them now.  I like the greater sense of ease and control as well as the improved mid to deep bass foundation and larger stage size in all directions!

I have built and sold many of these SM ICs to users of class D amps and not one issue!  
I wonder why......
If the stock cords sound as good as the big dollar ones, then I am sitting on a gold mine! Have to go now and list some nice power cords.... 
I wonder why......
What lengths should they make? Then they have to design and build the cables when they are not cable makers. Then they have to charge for it? Adds cost to an already high priced product!  Then we Aphiles will say we prefer the one we have or anoth...
