Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ?
If I were you I would buy these for $3800 right now:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/monitors-loudspeakers-2017-10-21-speakersBut I am not you so YMMV but I will say I am a very happy Audio Note AN/J owner and in general AN speakers are a "get of... 
Nice MQA discussion
@lalitk Tried that already it didn't work and it's ok I have no issue with avoiding MQA and it doesn't happen with any other files ever. 
Nice MQA discussion
I use the Auralic Lightning DS app great app other than that but I don't see that designation on the Tidal app either. It does identify MQA and the sampling rate after I hit play just not before. The static I've been told is the DAC going back and... 
Dealers hijacking the discussions
+1 @swampwalker very reasonable idea and great points.  
Nice MQA discussion
Ny only issue with MQA on Tidal is identifying it. My DAC doesn't do MQA or 24/96 often those selections will result in loud static so I avoid them. However when you search for an artist the albums you see don't identify the sampling rate or being...

+1 Wolf an everything you said cars and audio both! My used 2003 VW Passat is the single best purchase I've ever made and boutique shops run by enthusiasts make it cheap and easy to maintain. Similarly well selected and matched components will pro...

@lak I would be very curious to try a cable made with Furutech FP-S022N but I have zero DYI skills any suggestions on where to find a finished cable? Thanks! 
Toggling Integrated Amp Input During Music Playback
Having the volume control in the same position only works if the sources you are using have the same output voltage. Have you checked that? Higher voltage means more volume at the same position of your pot. 
Kef 103/3 Reference sound problem + Hello everyone
I checked and they are single wire, have you tried taking the Kube out of the system? Perhaps it's defective or having issues. 
Benefits of an external DAC
If you after really care about how the DAC sounds and not math I would very much recommend finding an older used DAC. One that is very well built with a good analog output stage and an extremely robust power supply. At the end of the day those thi...
