Dynaudio Contour S5.4 vs Focus 380 vs ...
Have you ever heard any of the contours? They do not sound quite like the new focus line. They are superb speakers and I like them very much. However, the focus line is a bit more neutral to my ears. The contours have a smidge richer sound. The 5.... 
Dynaudio Contour S5.4 vs Focus 380 vs ...
They are all superb so you can't go wrong. If it was me I'd buy the C4s as my first choice. Even though the design is an older one it's still a world class speaker. After that I'd probably go for the 380 over the s5.4 but it's a close call. And ju... 
Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already???
Zd542,Two points you made that I don't agree with. First, I've been buying from internet dealers for a long time and you are wrong, no way do they have the same over head that a B&M store does. Not even close. And if done well they can reach a...

Best Option To Liquidate CD Collection

Dynaudio is superb and C1s are truly world class and I should know I'm listening to a pair right now. 
Rega DAC vs Micromega MyDAC
The MyDAC is actually an extremely good budget DAC. I doubt anything under $1k is a substantial improvement and many would be inferior. Haven't heard the REGA DAC specifically though. 
Audiophile music
You just need the right system. I do agree with the point being made here but you can build a high end system that will sound superb with the white stripes (who I listen to frequently). And I personally find audiophile music boring. Many audiophil... 
Is computer audio a bust?
For every grey haired old audiophile there are 100 kids listening to music on computers. And which one do we think is headed for extinction? 
KEF LS50 vs. Monitor Audio Silver2
I'm a fan of MA gear, but this ones a no brainer, LS50s are In a different league. 
Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?
Ummm....these people are all dead now.
