Magico A3 replacement
I have A3s as well, with Accuphase E800 integrated. Currently I'm leaning towards Stenheim for my next upgrade. Although Magico is not out of the picture either, most likely it would be S series.  
Stereo image off-center
Thanks @macg19 @mcroth @ddude003 for testing.  For me vinyl is dead center as well, but Qobuz and Spotify through dac are a bit to right. I have tried swapping interconnects, phase settings (dac & amp). Those have no impact on the off-center v...

asctim, erik_squires, gosta  thanks for testing. ddd1, elliottbnewcombjr thanks for the suggestion, but I wanted to if this particular recording is off-center. fuzztone so you hearing with your ears now, are you?       
Best Server To Run Roon Core
Very interesting topic, thanks you for everyone contributed so far. To better understand what really counts when running Roon a few additional questions if I may. 1) Are you connecting Roon core (server) directly to DAC or over the Ethernet? What ... 
Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy
I really don’t understand the point for bashing any products based on they component value. If they sound bad then sure let us know, but estimating component value is completely useless. OCD HiFi guy would be watchable if he would just keep commen... 
Auralic Aries G2.1 or Innuos Zenith mk3
Thank you all for replies, I think streamer comparisons would be interesting and don’t quite understand why I can’t find those. Typically streamers are compared through their internal dacs which is unfortunate.  
If you liked the Ring DAC, you may also enjoy ...

Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
One more update, I transfered Roon core to my laptop and tested with direct USB connection to Accuphase’s dac with the same cable. Sound quality was as expected, so no problems with USB connectivity on dac50. Based on this, I would say that Innuos... 
Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
The following is reply from Innuos related to the problem. I’m using default settings for the Roon, which are enabled when Roon core is enabled in Zenith’s settings. I’m really disapointed to the way everyone involved (vendor and Innuos itself) ar... 
Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
I’m hoping to try out a high quality USB cable next week, but I’m a bit skeptical if it will have enough influence to bring Zenith to the level several of you have described. I’m not saying that Zenith could excellent in your system, rather that s... 
Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
Like I said earlier, I totally agree with the comments related to comparing Node with Zenith. It should have been done with a proper USB cable, unfortunately the distributor in this case didn’t have anything else to give me and I don’t own any USB... 
Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
I actually made the same decision, to be future proof and to be able upgrade dac I need something more reliable. 
Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
It was a weird I totally agree. I wanted to make sure that the reason wasn’t Zenith’s firmware version, so I upgraded it to the latest. I need to contact the audioshop to figure out what could have caused the audio problems I experienced. I wonder... 
Point of higher priced streamer?
@cleeds SG = SQ 😂👍🏻And I don’t know how it’s affected. 
Point of higher priced streamer?
@audio2design, my point was just that it’s unclear to me how data loss would affect SG. As if streamer misses one datagram containing 5ms of data, it could be a silent point in a track resulting only note playing longer, but it also could be somet...
