| Got a Node 2i, what's next? And yes OP, an external DAC connection is worth the cost of some optical or TosLink interconnects.The new one may sound somewhat better, but you have full control with an external DAC. | |

| Is D for Dry? Class D... I’ll skip the D-bate on this...currently auditioning a PS Audio Stellar S300 which uses the usual suspects of Ice modules. That’s where it stops. The bout stage is a proprietary MOSFET which sounds pretty good. The excellent staff at PS say that a... | |
| Garth Powell on Why Audioquest does not make AC Regenerators At 5:something, when he covers his mouth is the best part of the video. Blathering, opinionated idiot. AC regenerator Ir not? Not the point here. | |
| Did I damage my speakers? 300 hours to make a PS Audio class D smooth out. I’ve been listening today and found a familiar set of tracks to have some strange sounds. We’ll see... | |

| Focal Kanta NO.3 Speakers Spending More Doesn't Matter ! Very interesting, and sold locally. An audition is in order.$12k seems reasonable. The No.2 is also on “deep discounts”. Anyone have a sense of the differences? | |

| Apple Launching Lossless Music Subscription Service? Is their audience those that listen in their Apple device with Apple earbuds?until we can stream it natively on all the popular streamers, it’s just a misuse of bandwidth. | |
| Drivers and how to clean them: Notes from ScanSpeak I had a 2004 Porsche Cayenne with a subwoofer under the spare tire. There was a leak (they never could find) that filled the space with water. In spite of the “blub-blub” bass, the driver was extremely clean 😜😂😂😂I take all my speakers into the sho... | |
| Older vs. newer REL subs “I'm not in the market to buy two $2500 subs to replace a single older $2k sub; I would entertain two newer $1500 subs, however.”this makes you the perfect candidate for a pair of T9x subs. As a T/9i satisfied user, I can say these are excellent a... | |
