looking for a speaker posts tighting "wrench"?
I like the AudioQuest Postman. While there may be some non-standard posts that it will not handle, this has proved to be ideal for almost all the standard ones. Also, its design allows it to fit closely-spaced posts where open-end wrenches cannot. 
Is California Audio Labs back or who can repair it

DSD is generally NOT available on S/PDIF except for modified players. 
how can I get DSD signal from my Sony SCD5400 ES

hdmi connection
While I agree with most of what Realremo has said, let me add that MOG's 320kbps lossy stream may not benefit from an improved connections. Also, If your Marantz is a recent model, it may have a compatible USB input obviating the need for an exter... 
The Marantz 7005 analog output needs help.
What help do you think you need? Is this an AV7005 or an SR7005? 
Is there a problem w/ using both amp inputs?
You need to read your manual and/or consult ML about this. If there is no balanced/unbalanced switch on the amp, it is very likely you cannot do what you propose as the two input will interfere.Even if there is a switch, it may only be for the pur... 
What does REFERENCE mean?
It is simply something that you accept as a standard against which other items are compared. One might infer that such a standard is superior to all else but the term does not directly imply that. However, many do use that inference in using the t...
