Mac MA 352 vs Pass INT-60
I have an MA352 and I feel if you want the "tube" sound, then the Mac will deliver it more than the Pass.  
Help With Streamer - Aurender, Auralic, HIFI Rose, Eversolo A10, etc.
You should consider ripping your CD' to your computer through DB Poweramp. Then copy them over to an external SSD. That way you always have a backup depending on how often you make the copy.

My state, Florida, has no income tax, but what about the Federal?

@theophile  Thanks for the link. It worked, but it is no longer available. Being able to read all about it from the link, I am no longer interested in it. Thanks again.

I thought it looked interesting so I went to Parts Express to check it out, but they don't have it at all. No listing under that part number. Very strange.  
More potential bad news for some big names...
Instant increase in sales... Meters, the bigger the better. They don't have to be accurate, just moving. Who cares about driving 2-3 Ohm loads, as long as it's got meters.

1200AS2 Amp Board Voltage
Sorry, the 1200AS2 is the Ice Edge board from B&O that can be gotten through Parts Express.  
New Eversolo DMP-A10
I see it has no I2S output. Is I2S all that it's cracked up to be? Shouldn't a newly released player have this option?  
Who remembers California Audio Labs?
I remember CAL. They made a decent transport. If they were still in business my guess is that they would be similar to, but a more lower priced Wadia.  
Wilson Alexia 2 lacking some bass
Placement is key, but the best bass response might not be the ideal placement for the mids and highs. A sub, or 2 under 50Hz with their own volume control might be the ticket for that last octave to really kick in.  
???Compare-Contrast or Comment???Harbeth-ProAc or Reference 3a???
I own Ref 3A with the Beryllium tweeter and I don't find it harsh at all. Also the De Capos come up for sale used a lot, so keep your eye out. With no crossover to the main driver I find them very revealing speakers.  
Backing up my playlist….
If you own an Auralic unit all your playlists can be backed up to the iPad cloud. This is done directly in the Lightning App.  
Plasma Tweeters - Do they still exist?
They make great cigar lighters too.  
I listened to a pair of Audio Research Reference 330Ms
I got to hear them at a store demo. They're like a cheeseburger in paradise.
