I'm planning ahead, with mind to improve streaming. Has to be via wifi. Have an LPS ordered for my modem and wireless router. Also bought a TP-Link repeater for my streamer, as it has an ethernet port. Will go Meicord Opal to streamer. Considerin... 
What is the best USB cable under $500 for a natural presentation and good detail ?
@axeis1 I have Audience and Black Cat cables. Very good indeed.   I was researching cable upgrades; ended up buying Audience because someone using subjectivity, listened to them (no scientific measurements), and gave them a glowing review. As ... 
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
Unfortunately, negative Normans sometimes get threads shut down. Self righteous to the nth degree. 49 posts of negativity.  I'm sure I've seen him before...

I really thought the intent of this site was to discuss possible audio improvements. In reality, it is littered with too much veiled antagonism and abuse.   I purchase improvements after careful research and consideration, usually observe a dif...

Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I have received a heavily modded LKS DA-004. Haven't had a chance to listen to it as yet, but understand it is worth the wait.

I have to stream via wifi to my system. A friend suggested using a wifi extender, then plugging via ethernet to my streamer. A better option than the wifi signal?  
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
I don’t really care too much for the ’properties’ of the fuses. What I am interested in is their effect on my system.   In each instance, they have been an improvement. Stock to SR Black for my amp. Stock to SR Red for my Dac. Then SR Red to... 
A Denon compact system with Mission speakers, from the past, and my past.
I bought my mother-in-law the Denon UD M30 a number of years ago. They came with Denon speakers, so swapped them for my Mission M71 speakers. Quite a nice wee system.   Also bought one for a friend a number of years later.
