Bluesound node + INNUOS PHOENIX USB? 
I have the Auralic Altair G1.1 really like it. Pretty simple to use, sounds great by my ear and has caused me to have to work at listening to other music sources.  
Low buzzing through speaks
Definitely not the Revels! 😂 dpop..I admire and respect your effort here. I wish you lived nearby. i feel the same way about wanting perfection, but everything is great when I’m listening and it doesn’t affect the music. I’m still thinking it’s a... 
Low buzzing through speaks
I’m rapt in attention to this. I have had this same situation for now two years. I am music only, no theater. So, generally speaking I can hear the low buzz only from a foot away from my Revel speakers.   I have tried everything you have tried. ...

Love it! It’s nothing to take seriously.  
Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s?
I was under the same choice considerations last year. It wasn’t about price, it was about size and sound. My ego said REL Carbons. Long story short, I ended up with dual Rythmik F12SE’s. Mine are paired with Revel Ultima 2! Studio 2’s. They aligne...

Subwoofer with Floorstanding Speakers?
Added two Rythmik F12SE’s to my Revel Ultima 2, Studio 2’s. I’m 2 channel only. It definitely was worth it. It’s just a fuller sound, and I think one way of describing the improvement is that they hit low base with strength and tightness.

For you Odyssey Audio Stratos amp owners
Mine is a Stratos case Kismet. I’m using a Hegel P20 preamplifier. It seems to pair well. I’m still tracing some minor hum. I’m pretty certain it’s not related to the amp or the preamp, but wire/cable related.   
Best streamer for a returning audio guy
I started the same path a year ago. I was certain I was heading for a Bluesound Node,etc. I ended up with an Auralic Altair G1 and have never regretted it. You can download to its hard drive, it sounds great, and I’m streaming Tidal with ease and ...

Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
Rythmiks! Great subs, and so far easy integration.  
How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers
My speakers are Revel Ultima Studio 2’s, my subwoofers, are (2) Rythmik F12SE’s. They pair very well,sonically. So, I guess if you are using retail to retail….5:1. As already mentioned, the Rythmiks are a disproportionate value. I like how they so...
