Check out Cerious Technology as well, Robert's cables are really fantastic and great values. I haven't tried balanced cables, my setup is all single ended, but well worth checking out. Definitely beat AZ Silver Ref II in my setup. Happy listening! 
Micromega Mydac is a pain..
$2.80 great news glad it all worked out for you finally! Also thanks for the Windows10 info, I got it about a month ago and didn't know about the privacy issues just went through all the steps in the Slate article. Much obliged! 
High End Speaker Prices
This article misses a huge factor in high end speaker production, economies of scale, or lack thereof. It's infinitely more expensive to make one or ten or 100 of something than it is to mass produce it. Most speakers north of say $20K are made in... 
Advice on New Integrated Amplifier
Elevick doesn't Music Hall import Creek? It's possible even likely that both your amp and the OP's were built by Creek. 
Classic Rock Quiz
I got 60% which is 12 and I swear the only question I didn't guess at was Jim Morrison's indecent exposure arrest. 
Has Anyone Tried the Sonos Boost?

My Revel F30s
Interesting I would personally not describe Sonus Faber as hyper detailed to me more on the warm side of the spectrum. So are you specifically looking for speakers that image better? What do you like or not like about your Revels aside from imagin...

There are 33 albums by Gary Moore on Tidal. Is Ball & Chain an album or a song? 
Tidal HiFi Test - how representative?
I wonder if the folks who say $20 a month for Tidal is too much think about how much a month they use to spend on CD's? I know I was regularly spending $50/month netting myself at most 7-8 discs. For less than half that I can listen to literally t... 
I want to use the Tidal music service but my dac
BTW this thread got me considering my Sonos and wifi situation and looking on Sonos' website I found they have a product called Boost which is a much more robust wireless networking product than the original Bridge I'm using. Sonos says that shoul... 
Tidal HiFi Test - how representative?
Mofi and Hgeifman, I noticed the same thing when my stereo was down for a few weeks as we got our floors replaced, I listened to Tidal via the app on my laptop, there is indeed about a 2 second pause between tracks that does not seem to be defeata... 
Tidal HiFi Test - how representative?
I feel like when I signed up it was like a 7 day trial? This was perhaps 6 months ago. I was instantly hooked and I think the quality is superb. I also use a Sonos Connect outputting to a DAC. I just tried the test via my crappy laptop speakers wi...

Not to mention one huge point in favor of the Krell, you already own it! So give it a shot if it doesn't work out no harm done and move on to something else. Most of all have fun!
