Mcintosh C2800 and C55
I was wondering the same thing.  I had a C2300 and replaced it with a Audio Research LS28SE which was a dramatic improvement.  Basically, there is an entire world of detail that the C2300 simply can't resolve.   I was wondering if the C2800 would ... 
Audioquest Pegasus XLR Interconnects
I had the Pegasus XLR interconnects in my Audio Research LS28SE/Mcintosh MC462 system and did not like them.   I thought they were thin sounding and  bright.   I replaced them with the Thunderbirds and now am very happy.    
Audio Research LS2SE tube buzzing
I swapped all of the tubes with a known good set and have the same issue. At some point I’ll drop it off at Audio Research to check as they are local to me. Since I can’t hear it from my listening spot I am in no rush. Thanks for the tips everyone.  
T+A Dac 200 HDMI issues
Timely question,  in fact early this morning I removed the Aurender from my system and replaced it with a Mac Mini running Jriver over USB.  No issues with static when playing an SACD over HDMI.   This morning I also tried using the Aurender with... 
T+A Dac 200 HDMI issues
Initial tests from T+A with their Sony player could not replicate the issue.  Further testing on my part points to an incompatibility issue between my Aurender N200 and the T+A DAC 200.   In a nutshell, if the Aurender is powered up and connected ... 
T+A Dac 200 HDMI issues
T+A is going to acquire a Sony UDB-X700 player to test.  That is outstanding support from them.  
T+A Dac 200 HDMI issues
I sent T+A support at e-service@ta-hifi.com  Maybe that is the US support instead of the German team.   The T+A R&D head often posts on Audiophile style site and has indicated that playback of SACD over HDMI does work on the DAC 200.   And ... 
T+A Dac 200 HDMI issues
What’s weird is that playing SACDs via DSD to the DAC 200 does work except for the static. Maybe that is an implementation error on T+A part and it simply should not have worked at all - which would have saved me some frustration. I did install a... 
T+A Dac 200 HDMI issues
To rule out the the player I purchased a Sony UBP-X7800M2 that I will get later today.  
T+A Dac 200 HDMI issues
But they do,  I can play my SACDs over HDMI from my Sony UDB-X700 to my DAC 200 and I get a DSD signal into the DAC and great sound, except for a lot of background static.  Maybe the background static is because it isn't supposed to work.   That's... 
T+A Dac 200 HDMI issues
I did purchase the DAC new and have contacted T+A support with my equipment details and also have posted on Audiophile style site about the issue. I appreciate you contacting T+A North America. I posted here in hopes that others owners may have us... 
Dynaudio Contour 30i or Sonus Faber Olympica II
I would love to know what other gear you guys having issue with the Dynaudio Contour speakers are using?   I have the Contour 30i and they are the best sounding speaker I have had in my system.  I previously had had Harbeth HL5+ and Martin Logan V... 
Anyone has heard the Bel Canto REFLink Asynchronou
I have the Reflink and Wyred DAC-2. The Reflink is a significant upgrade in terms imaging, detail, and transparency. I use the Reflink's AES/EBU output to the Wyred DAC-2.
