getting into streaming
Fwiw, I 100% agree with @moonwatcher here. I wanted to get a cheap streamer to get started (while I figured out what I wanted longer term). The WiiM mini has been excellent. Im using Qobuz hi-res using the optical out into my DAC and it’s great.  ...

Matching Power and Speakers -- Much Ado about Not-that-Much? (Tube amps and speakers)
Someone should by the new Schiit amp for a few hundred dollars and give it a try compared to what they have - I’d love to hear opinions on that. The GJALLARHORN is 10 watts of fun.

Why does it take so long to get stuff?
@ghdprentice i guess I’d expect the distributors to take on that risk until a direct ship model could work.  @jond - ironically my default purchase for equipment is to find a local manufacturer and try and buy there products but local retailers a...
