New Luxman 507Z
Any new info out of Axpona about Luxman plans going forward? New 507z integrated and M-10x power amps already announced or released.....anything more concrete on what will happen with the 509X (upgrading in future to 509Z ???) and when? Still true... 
Wadax Reference Dac and Reference Server--arrived in my room.
OP, has this equaled or surpassed your analog setup?  If no, how much has it closed the gap?

Verdant do you know how long the less expensive Merlot dac will be around?  I think it was introduced 6-7 years ago so perhaps due for replacement?  
Luxman 590AXII Discontinued??
I would. Buy the superior 595ase (per numerous owners who’ve had both) and still have thousands left over ; )  
Luxman 590AXII Discontinued??
Got it. That’s too bad.    any word on when 509X will be replaced?  
Luxman 590AXII Discontinued??
"I believe Luxman is getting out of the Class A game which is a shame!!"   Based on what?  You said in December that Luxman told you that the 590 would be replaced in 2022.  Did they now tell you something different?  
Montreal Audio Show - anyone hear the FR30’s?
And when one of the speaker manufacturer’s main businesses is higher power amplifiers, even less incentive, perhaps even negative incentive  
Montreal Audio Show - anyone hear the FR30’s?
Well that same sentiment then applies to every other speaker company that released a speaker in last 10 years??? Complaint makes no sense.   Anyway, they are open to some potential criticism - e.g., price escalation when original projection was ...

It's audio speakers, not rocket science.  There are almost never massive technology leaps.  It isn't a fast moving technology space, to say the least.  Pretty unrealistic expectation if that is what your bar is.  
Montreal Audio Show - anyone hear the FR30’s?
Ok, I stand corrected on that, thanks. Do they assemble them? I know that each speaker ships in two boxes, the base portion and the upper portion. I assumed that they do not assemble them because the PSA site provides assembly instructions, but I ... 
Montreal Audio Show - anyone hear the FR30’s?
They don’t "set up" the speakers, per se. They don’t even take them out of the shipping boxes. They wheel them into your listening room in the boxes. You have to assemble. So "white glove" perhaps but all it means is they bring the boxes from your... 
Is the DAC the digital equivalent of a cartridge.
I think dac to cartridge is a pretty good analogy. Both make the last most meaningful conversion between information types (digital to analog; groove to analog electrical). Not a perfect analogy, but pretty darn good imo   the cartridge I suppos... 
H E L P !! Network issues with Teac NT 505?
"So, if I am thinking right, the Teac is on the .ext network by default of the ethernet cable plugged into the extender." Correct.   "Connecting the tablet also to the .ext network will then put it on the "same" network." Yes, and that is necess... 
H E L P !! Network issues with Teac NT 505?
So you are doing what I do: using a wifi extender that connects wirelessly to your router, and then running an ethernet cable from the extender to the Teac. I use Netgear routers and extenders, but they probably work similarly.   Usually, these ... 
H E L P !! Network issues with Teac NT 505?
I’ve got an NT505 that I previously ran cabled to router but now run cabled to WiFi extender far from router. I use cat 7 always. When I switched from cat 6 to 7 I noticed many fewer drops (basically none thereafter ). Whenever we have problems ...
