DACs to look at?
I hope to try a Topping D90 soon seeing it uses the latest AKM chip against my Marantz 8805 and Oppo203 (transport) which I use for 2/ch daily (cd,dsd,hi/rez files, heos stream Amazon HD) with an Halo A21. I find it very satisfying and couldn't be...

Parasound A21 and A21+: Significant Improvements in SQ?
Great info guys , looking like the A21+ for me. 
Parasound A21 and A21+: Significant Improvements in SQ?
I have the same question and also wonder how the A21 + fairs against the JC5, Also Is the new A21+ a John Curl update? One of the two will hopefully find its way into my setup to replace my A21 which really can't fault after its many years of wond... 
Anyone compared Morrow Audio Interconnect cables with Audio Envy Prestige interconnects?
System and taste dependent , I recently tried the O nestian XLR's from Audio Envy against my Morrow Audio MA4 xlr's and the Morrows in my setup had the better tonal definition without any part of the spectrum standing out and overall musicality an... 
Getting the most out of streamed video: Netflix and Plex (with NVIDIA Shield Pro?)
I take it you don't or have never used a Nvidia Shield especially the 2019 version? I'm as picky as they come and its got a place in my setup for streaming why? its simply one of the best at what it does.http://https//www.avsforum.com/forum/39-net... 
Getting the most out of streamed video: Netflix and Plex (with NVIDIA Shield Pro?)
If you're worried about the 2019 Nvidia Shield Pro size ,that's just a plus (easy to conceal as it uses Bluetooth for remote operation) as it's the King of streamers as far as I'm concerned.I run mine to my Marantz 8805 and then to my Sony 940e. T... 
Envy audio cables
I'm trying out the O Nestian xlr's with the new terminated ends which are up against my Morrow MA4 xlr's , So far they sound great at just over 150 hrs on them but jury is still out. I also in addition to the xlr's I got the Ocean power cable to t... 
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
For delivering power to the gear of which it came with ? Yes , I would at minimum put the AC3 on the Ayre and go from there after you hear how much better it can get.

New high end processor
I'm using the Marantz 8805 with a Parasound Halo A21 for my mains and 80% of its use is 2/ch and in that department it does not disappoint.. The rest of my setup is Atmos in a 7.1.4 configuration and again it doesn't disappoint. It's very transpar... 
Clarity Cable Review
This was hands down the toughest cable to purchase do the lack of feedback and the few you can find as far as I could was just praise. I'm glad as well to be seasoned just enough to not overlook due to price as well. 
Clarity Cable Review
I feel is time to chime in on the Clarity Cable "Vortex" power cable. I received the cable a little more than week ago and feel confident after 275'hrs or so letting it settle in on my PS Audio Dectet replacing an PS Audio AC12 I just can't get ov...
