| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? Tekton Encore | |
| PS Audio Power Plant 15........ If you think that it is going to sound great out of the box...it's not. I leave mine on 24/7 and as I recall it took a good 10 days to settle in. Initially I freaked out because it sounded worse than when connected to the wall socket...but now i... | |

| Does It Even Matter? It is NOT all 1’s and 0’s like some people say. The difference in digital front ends such as streamers can vary as much as a changing a cartridge on a turntable. If you want good sound I would avoid bluetooth connections. | |
| Best Speakers for a small Nearfield room, budget at most $10000 (used is also ok) Yes, that is a small room. Your definitely going to want a speaker ported in the front so you can get it closer to the wall. A Harbeth HL5 Plus would be great but might overload the room and a Harbeth 30.2 monitor may be a better choice. Both are ... | |
| USB sucks I have an Aurender Music Server / Streamer. It only outputs USB. Using a Curious Evolved USB Cable I have never had a single issue with any DAC recognizing the USB connection...DAC's used are Schiit Gungnir MB, Chord Qutest, MHDT Labs Pagoda, th... |
