Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
this is a great thread, thanks for the input and information everyone. So, a lot of people keep saying things are moving fast, DACs will improve at a rapid rate. If so, why would it make any sense to buy a 20 grand plus DAC other than you want to ... 
Audiogon needs a new category
yes this needs to happen.  Right now info is spread between digital and PC audio and who knows where else.  
Blue sound Node 2 vs Lumin D1
I haven't heard either, but I have to think the DAC in the Lumin D1 is better.   you could try the Node 2 for it's features and functionality spend the other 1500.00 on a DAC that may be better than the Lumin.   
Going from computer audio to dedicated streamer
how can a streamer affect sound quality?  I thought the purpose of a streamer is functionality and features/options for the user and also to deliver a bit-perfect digital stream to a DAC?  We all hate digital glare, brightness, hardness etc.. so a...

The McIntosh MDA 1000, although is 2004 technology, is still pretty awesome with redbook, 
Duelund DCA16GA
Duelund has a 10ga now? Nice. Interesting that we both found the Duelund 16GA a little to bright with our systems. I have made some changes too and honestly I have not tried the Duelund 16GA since the changes, so maybe I should give it another shot. 
Duelund DCA16GA
grannyring, I am a big fan of the WE/Dueland speaker cables, but they are not better than the Supra 3.4s, very similar in fact.  At least in my system.  I have the WE10GA, WE14GA,  and the Duelunds.  So I have a lot of experience comparing.  Of th... 
Speaker Cable Suggestions
I tried Clear Day Double shotguns.  Tried to make them work in my system, but they were a little dry and did not have a very expansive stage.  At the time it was with. Elac FS 409s.  I gave them to an office mate who is getting into to audio, and ...

I have really never understood the cables are nonsense crowd.  If your gear is good enough, you can hear the differences between cables.  It is really not that hard, it's just not.    
Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus!

The Teo combo Splash/GC is the best IC's I have ever had in my system.  It wasn't so with just the Splash alone.  But once I added the GC and got around 100 hours on them, well, it was really a game changer, especially after 100 hours.
