Does a DAC need a large/strong power supply?
Tony, It was an honest question. I am very confused by ASR loving these cheap DACs. My Yiggy has a very large PS and sounds great. My interest is curiosity as to how these $300 to $600 dacs test so well and have very low noise. I believe they hav...

Less Is Really More - Schiit's New Yggdrasil DAC - Less Is More
I am one of the few with the Yiggy MiL. I am very happy, as I was looking for more dynamics and openness from my DAC. Please don't crap on my choice. It is not necessary.  
Should I trust movers with my equipment?
Just mark all your boxes "Cash & Jewlery", see if you get any delivered.  
Subwoofer RCA Cable
OK, so I'm using an old Audioquest Hyperlitz cable of 1.5M. It's working fine, and I will not pursue a sub cable. Thanks for all the replys.  
Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
A long time ago. They were Dunlavy SC4 set up well in a store. I then experienced not "you are there", "they are here" as it sounded like the performer was in the room.  
Are all dBs created equal?

I was wondering about the thread on the fake Chinese cables. It had over 5 pages of discussions. Now the entire thing is gone. I thought it was informative. Why has it been removed? I can't find it now. I think Carlsbad is correct.

Ditch your USB cable for Toslink? Might surprise you!
Thanks everyone, but I was wondering about the Optical cable being 1.5 meters, like the other SPDIF cables (Coaxial, BNC and AES/EBU) recommended lengths.   
cheapest cable upgrade ever
At least you tried it.... thanks for the post.  
Ditch your USB cable for Toslink? Might surprise you!
If one was to try one out, does this fall into the 1.5 meter minimum like SPDIF cables?  
Why do hipsters prefer analog?
They will stop when they're too old to feel like getting up, to turn the record over.  
New Magnaplanar 1.7 delaminating and buzzing.
Barmeg, thanks for taking my joke in good stride. As a past owner of 1.7 and 20.1 models, I do know about their wonderful sound. I hope you get the issue resolved quickly. Magnepan should be jumping through fire to fix your speakers.
