MSB Discrete vs Premier
+1, If you can afford the Premier, go for it.  It is very good.   +1, You should try both of them at your home. Let your ears judge. My bet is you will prefer the MSB Premiere with the power base.   As I posted above, I suggest you also investig... 
PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC
+1, “I would never buy anything with a 60hz hum”. Obviously, something is wrong. It is very strange that some units have this hum issue and others do not. In any case, I would not purchase the unit until the hum issue is addressed.

@knock1, Thanks.  I never knew that.  Do you have any comments regarding using a digital to digital converter?   Thanks.   
New Product RE: Denafrips 12th Anniversary Edition Digital-to-Digital Converter (DDC)
  From my above post, does it make any sense to use a Digital-to-Digital Converter? If I have a reasonable high quality DAC, do I really need another processing box, like a Digital-to-Digital Converter between my streamer, computer, etc. and my D...

Help with Ayre QX-5
1) Unplug the Ayre QX-5 from electrical power, wait 5 minutes and turn it on again. 2) If the above fails, +1, please call Ayre Acoustics and ask for help. Their phone numbers are on their web site. Please keep us posted.  
Ethernet streaming
+1, “In my opinion it’s best to go with a separate DAC and streamer simply because it can sound better if you take the time to put things together correctly”. Separates also give you the option to upgrade them separately.

New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui
+1, Bricasti DAC. I own the Bricasti M21 DAC and like it very much. The Bricasti M21 DAC is recognized as a DNLA device and becomes a powerful media renderer.   My M21 DAC is connected to the Internet and gets the signal from my Apple M2 chip Lapt...
