Bluesound Node 2
I might add that i also use a mutec mc3+ to reclock the output from the node 2 to get where i am at. 
Bluesound Node 2
Streaming via the node 2 requires attention right from where your ISP enters the premises.I used a Node 2 and slowly paid attention to Fibre modem, router, switch, media converters.The Node 2 streaming tidal hifi through the dac section of a top t... 
Can upgraded power cords help my setup?
I would say to check out cables of say $200 or so.Those who understand more about switch supplies have a ton more circuitry than a linear supply, it is possibly a big waste to use say a  very expensive cable.There's no right or wrong, there will b... 
Can upgraded power cords help my setup?
You may find that just decent audio powercords which don't have to be costly will work well with a switching power supply.I found expensive or good cords don't seem to work to the advantage in the switching supplies and not as critical as when use... 
Top resistors
I have also replace the  Duelund resistors with Path Audios.I have'nt done much comparisions, but have been contented with the Path's. It is just too tediousThe Duelunds have much more of a colouration and emphasis towards the upper frequencies wh... 
Best standalone music server?
My vote for the NAD M50.2.True all in one with MQA included. 
So, if you had my system to work with and were thinking about adding a DAC...
As important as tidal is for streaming, i use it almost all the time now and forget about bothering with buying cd's.My search of a full MQA capable streamer and dac has lead me to conclude that the sonics of the dac is way more conclusive in SQ.D... 
Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47?
Thank for the update.I am glad my ears are not failing me and no other users had this impression on what i was hearing or impressions. Though system dependent, these characteristics do somehow manifest in any systems, especially given the experien... 
Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47?
Allan,If you read the sonic traits i have listed, i would call all 3 outlets i use together, NCF, Black and SE all top contenders.They each sound different and i would call any worst or better, top notch sound from each but due to their different ...

Gbm,I am not looking for the perfect outlet nor really find the "One" that promises to be the last in outlets.I merely try my best to find the strengths and weaknesses in the outlet.I agree and find the black still a very good outlet, but knowing ...

My additional black outlet is settled and with tweaking room acoustics,  i use quite a fair bit but have equalised the highs that was a tad dull,  inluding a touch od silve paste walker esst,  after the addition of the 2nd black outlet.  It sound ...

gmbcleod,The red fuse runs from the side of the p300 (SR) in the same direction of lettering on the fuse. Please note what i meant that i reversed installed based on listening, the other direction from R to S is what i feel "IS" the correct direct... 
Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47?
Gbmcleod, Yes and yes, we have the similar conclusion with the fuse in the p300 (btw, mine has multive II , so there will be the cleanwave function, sort of like a degausser and helping giving details and clarity a little boost after a period of t...

Gbmcleod,The teslaplex se will not fit together with a GTX, but the narrow Black (of Non SE) which combo i was using previously could. 2 GTX or 2 Teslaplex SE's will not fit the P300 in this combination.I especially value the cleanwave of the p300...
