| Why Streaming Service Sounds ‘Flat’ vs Tune In /Local FM /Radio Paradise I listen while cooking in my kitchen to both analog FM broadcasts and Qobuz with bluetooth from my Ipad through a Marantz N1200 and streaming always sounds substantially better. | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment I subscribed to Qobuz but was not happy with the sound until I added an Ether Regen switch and a 1/2 meter Pangea ethernet cable to my Bryston BDP2.

Dire Straits-Brothers in Arms(even though it is a digital master), Rob Wasserman-Duets, Jefferson Airplane-Surre... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 I'm not sure what you have against the Sabre chip, because the Auralic Vega is as good as any and better than most of the units listed. It is available at Audio Advisor now for under $ 2,300.00. | |
| recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat I decided to give class D a shot and purchased the Audio Research DS450. It is the best sounding amp that I've heard in my system. My friend and I have compared it to 4 other amps, including a Pass class A design, and it has come out on top every ... |
