Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined?
I was looking at my barely read TAS's and Stereophile's last night...I was thinking if you've been reading articles for decades, aren't looking for new gear, and trust your own judgement...the mags are just less relevant, not sure they've declined... 
Anybody heard the new Audiolab 9000CDT yet?
The Schiit Transport has been rumored for a few years now, is there actual official word on it's arrival fastcat95 ?  
How to build a super simple streaming system
Spotify is fun but always poor sound quality regardless of system. Though some like it   
But is it HiFi? (Crown)
on Crown and similar amps, many disconnect the fan and lights and the volume control if not needed...I bought my ART SLA-2 that way and it did sound better than stock...Crown and ART are fun amps, but I never found them to be good home stereo amps... 
Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary
yes be careful, many sellers of used Denafrips list the Singapore dollar price as the USD price, and Denafrips does include free shipping...  
How much should I spend on a new DAC
check out the Denafrips Pontus and Venus - and the listed price is Singapore dollars, about $1900 and $3200 USD...the Pass is a great amp and puts out way more power than it's Class A rating would suggest...  
Interesting situation! Do we need this....
I think Amazon read this discussion and realized a new market about to emerge...  
Anyone else have issues with Tidal?
I have that occasionally when listening from computer, never with streamer...  
Rotel RSP 1069
I had that on my processor last night...nothing I tried worked...so with nothing to lose I just started pressing buttons, and took about 30 seconds to start working great...

maybe the OP simply prefers the Fluance...doesn't mean anyone else would...or not.  
Innovative Autio in NYC just hung up on me
if either of you were on a cell phone, there's no accounting for volume and dropouts...

Take5 in New Haven was awesome store back then...  
Interesting situation! Do we need this....
I enjoy my low cost second systems immensely, but they are nowhere near as good as my main system...but I could certainly be a happy music lover/listener if that's all I could have...  
upgrade player or use modified oppo bdp 105 as transport
get a new player, or transport and DAC, sell the Oppo ... streaming is a separate issue
