Transparent Audio Gen4 vs Gen5
Transparent has traditionally stated that their new models are 1 1/2 steps above the previous generation, and I agree with this for the XL MM and MM2. Based on that, Super Gen 5 "should be better" than Ultra MM2. Have not tried the Gen 5.

Agree. I just got the Wyred modified Sonos and the sound is superb running through the DAC in Aesthetix Romulus.

I stream Tidal through a Sonos and outboard DAC and the sound is way better than Spotify

Neither Spotify nor Amazon offer good quality streaming sound, with low bit rates...

you might also be quite happy with the Aerial 10T - the last version is way under your budget...

I agree they deserve a better amp, but you still can only push so much air with two 6 1/2 woofers in a small/medium enclosure. But they are great sounding speakers, and the MS5 even better.

The Dali Euphonia MS5 does everything the MS4 does well, plus much better bass and dynamics, as it has twice the internal volume and a dedicated midrange. I have had both. I did run the MS4 with a Talon sub with excellent results.

I have an excellent NPR station locally, and a McIntosh MR-74 modified by Don Scott and it sounds great...

I spoke to Transparent, and the jumpers coming out of the network box carry the same signal, despite being labeled for high and low, at least at the Super and Ultra level.
