Add an external DAC. Make my Oppo UDP-205 a true top player
The crazy posts on here are rather entertaining. It appears that we have many many audiophiles who don’t know how to install an app to run the Oppo 205 with. The other obvious oversight is the fact that the Oppo has Rune built right in. I am able ... 
You know you are an Audiophile when:
You do it in the dark.You do it by yourself.You yawn to pop your ears before your activity.You don’t want to be prematurely interrupted.You moan quietly “oh, that’s the spot...”You mumble to yourself “I know I put it somewhere.”You need more power... 
What streamer?
Get Mconnect and you can stream all your files, mqa, Tidal and Qobuz with Apple products. I stream anything I want on an Oppo 205 and Tidal never sounded better. The user interface is not excellent but you can see the streaming rate and MQA works ... 
What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?
Best cheap tweak- the light switch! Just turn it off. The next best tweak-telling your kids, wife and neighbors to shut up and be quiet. 3rd best tweak-turn off the dryer, washing machine, vacuum, air conditioner and heater.Whoops, in some cases t...

The Hub: How about a dedicated listening CHAIR
There are 4 chairs in the line. The chair above is the top. Other chairs (with other speakers and leatherless) go for about half. So, I guess for 2k this could be a great theater piece and at 4k for true audio hounds. 
You know you're an audiophile if--
Within days you tell your wife that your system has never sounded better only to counter with but last night i knew hwat could make the system better as you beg her to let you buy xyz device. 
Why no professional reviews of Evolution Acoustic
Kudo's Jonathan. I'm so pleased to see that you received some excellent coverage of your beautiful speakers. James Darby, by the way, gave good coverage to the i-fi chair in Denver. I guess there are some reviewers that listen with their ears and ... 
What made you do it?
I've owned Genesis 5's, 2.5's, B&W's, Wilson Maxes, Watt Puppies, Slamm's and Alexandria. The decision to purchase the Anat II was as much about the music I listen to as to what I want to listen to. I will explain. While I had great sound from...
