Eversolo DMP-A8 bypassing my preamp despite setting to fixed volume out
So sorry to hear this @swhite007. There truly is nothing worse than reconnecting and having any type of issue. I can SO empathizešŸ˜ž! I have the Eversolo DMP-6 Master and absolutely LOVE it! Sounds like there may be some sort of setting on the DMP-8... 
Processor sound comparison- Anthem avm90 vs NAD M17 V2i
I have owned the Audiocontrol Maestro X7, Marantz AV8802A, McIntosh MX122, Outlaw 976 in my main HT/Audio system. I do 5.1. Of all of those I I give the edge to the Maestro X7. However, I came across a great deal on the Krell Foundation UHD 4K and... 
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find?
ā€œSilver Trainā€ by Jon Anderson (Yes) and John Paul Jones. Had this on cassette a hundred years ago and have not been able to find it anywhere ever againšŸ˜ž.Ā  Ā  Also ā€œHoly Warā€ by John Butcher. Have never been able to find this one eitherā€¦  
Bluesound
I am using Qobuz not Amazon so itā€™s not just an Amazon related issueā€¦havenā€™t tried rebooting but Iā€™ll give that a shot. When all else fails reboot!  
Bluesound
Yup, I get it too. Itā€™s annoying but doesnā€™t seem to interrupt streamingā€¦Just have to hit the ok a few times. And it literally happens every time I stream. Itā€™s just dumbšŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø  
Leave it Open or Close it Off: A Listening/ Living Room Dilemma
Install the door. I went through the very same thing. The opening to my theater room had no door. I had a glass panel door installed (hung curtains as well on the door) and just love that I can close the room off or leave open if I so choose. Do t... 
If Steely Dan had a different vocalist
Very few songs have struck as much at first listen as The Royal Scam. This is a song I cannot ever get enough of, especially cranked up! I have been listening to Steely Dan for over 40 years, but only a few years ago actually heard The Royal Scam ... 
Which HDMI cable for I2S?
I have Transparent throughout in my main system. When I added a second system I gave some DH Labs cables a try. Their Mirage USB has got to be one of the better bargains out there. Can't go wrong with DHL at any of their levels...  
Upgrading to a stand alone DAC
I will absolutely second the Topping E70 Velvet. If this isn't the most underrated DAC in the sub 1K price range, I don't know what is.Ā Helomech is spot on. Save 1K and grab the E70 V....It also has balanced connections...  
Can a DAC do triple duty?
Hi @davidchampa, Funny you should ask this question. What I have found very interesting is that when streaming through the Eversolo I have found the sound to be much more "alive". And I noticed this immediately! Best way to describe it, music jus... 
Class D Option For Bass
Iā€™ll absolutely second the Buckeye Amps recommendation! Give them a look.Ā   
Herbie Audio Lab - Tenderfoot
I have Herbie's under just about every component. I have never removed the stock feet from any of my components. With my Earthquake Cinenova Grande amp I have the tenderfeet under the stock feet just to give the amp more lift for breathability pur... 
Can a DAC do triple duty?
Awesome! Thank you for the replies! Seals it. Topping (btw, this DAC blew me away right out of the gate) is packing up for the movešŸ˜Š! Itā€™ll be connected to my Bluesound Node in system 2ā€¦  
Can a DAC do triple duty?
Thanks @curiousjim. Great to hear from a fellow Pontus ownerā€¦I honestly could not think or see any reason why it wouldnā€™t be a go, other than a possible stress factorā€¦Appreciate everyoneā€™s inputšŸ˜Š  
Can a DAC do triple duty?
Thanks mesch, I figured it was doable, because why not if it does double why not triple with different paths one at a time, right? Just wanted to make sure it wasn't any added stress on Pontus. I will also reach out to Alvin at Vinshine as he is S...
