EMM LABS DV2
Lalitk, the media info does not interest me either its just about the music...Do you have the EMM REF preamp? 
EMM LABS DV2
At this juncture the Aurender N10 would be my max. Does that budget reflect physiatric help? The NS1, is bridge tech. similar to others...I'm not looking for marginal gains, it would be interesting to A/B N10 VS NS1...

I have the NS1, (demo) sounds wonderful! Just pursuing all alternatives...The NS1 will not do MQA...The DV2 sounds so good I'm rethinking MQA! EMM LABs (who are great to work with) may have a future update for the NS1 to do a complete MQA unfold.....

Thanks, forgive my stupidity! How do I directly reach out? Is it audiogn@thyname.com? 
Is anyone using a external music server with the PS Audio Directstream Dac???
Thanks for that info. Other companies use versions of Mconnect, however they have worked out some of the bugs. I would think that PS Audio would have Conversedigital polish the app up? Aurender's App is made by Conversedigital. When you think abou...

Thanks for the input. Not really many choices with the bridge on the DSD. It may be a issue with Mconnect and the Apple device (Ipad). The app on Aurender units looks great.

Came up with a better solution...I'll use the Bridge with my critical listening and the Bluesound with my morning, background listening. I'll keep them both in the Network... This way I can also utilize the MQA with the Bridge. I have not done a c... 
Bryston BP-26 VS 17Cubed
Gammonit, I should clarify something I said. Neither the 17 or the 26 is better than the Classe' Sigma SSP. When I was in the midst of the comparison my judgement was swayed by the added gain on each unit. The 26 is extremely transparent, that can... 
Bryston BP-26 VS 17Cubed
I liked the 26. However, it was not a good fit with my Classe' CA M600 Monoblocks and PS Audio Directstream DAC. The gain on the 26 was too much with my system. No control without turning the volume down on the DAC. Even turning the volume down I ... 
Bryston BP-26 VS 17Cubed
Why is that? It out performed my Classe' preamp. I don't get it? Also very nice folks at Bryston to talk with. I'm digging this 26...Nothing wrong with the 17 either...My PS Audio DSD is pretty hot so matching the gains is interesting...

Bryston BP-26 VS 17Cubed
Update: If you are using an external DAC, make sure you play with the volume control on the DAC. I have a PS Audio DSD. Someone at PS Audio told me they recommend the volume to be at 100. That's Wrong! I kept saying that the Bryston BP-26 had too ...
