Apple Music vs Tidal for SQ
“I tried Quoboz about 5 years ago and found it a bit fatiguing” @kota1  What are your current digital streaming components?   
What can I do between the wall and my streamer/DAC?
@backwash Fuzztone beat me to it, I second the ENO streaming package, which comes with their amazing ENO Ag LAN cable on both ends. Adding ENO would get rid of digital hash and make your T2 more musical and enjoyable. They do offer 30 days retur...

Wait till you hear Qobuz!   
Best DACs under $7,000.00
@ricevs Why not list your system in Audiogon virtual system page..it is likely to inspire more folks. Pics along with description is typically more helpful to understand one’s vision  backed by ownership on a world class best sounding system for... 
T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components
Thanks @blisshifi. At $22K, PSD seems to be quite a bargain. I didn’t realize SDV 3100 now retail for $39K 😳  
Hi Res from iPhone vs AppleTV sound
@gochurchgo While I recognize that not every album is currently available but there is still plenty of music to browse that one could possibly dream of owning. This is one of the prime reason for me to jump into streaming. I have not abandoned b... 
Hi Res from iPhone vs AppleTV sound
“99% of the music I like will never exist in high res” @gochurchgo That’s quite presumptuous of you, which one of these cloud based service have you tried….Primephonic, Idagio, Qobuz or Tidal? Since you primarily listen to Vinyl, I am suggestin... 
Streamers and their Fuses
@brandonhifi  Interesting feedback on W20SE vs N30SA. Did you compare both side by side in your system?   
Network Switches
@macdude  I don’t necessarily concur with ‘double the value part’ but a high quality Ethernet switch in an ultra resolution system definitely enhances the performance of a purpose built audio streamer or server. Its impact is easily audible and a... 
Streamers and their Fuses
Aurender N30SA can be magnificent in an ultra high resolution system; a hard-fact that owners of self powered, DSP driven speakers cannot simply comprehend.   
Network Switches
“I have compared it to other much more expensive switches and I think most of these high end switches are way overpriced.” @macdude Would you please elaborate on your experience with other switches? I would love to hear what switches you’ve tri... 
Has the ASR review/hatchet job on the Musetec MH-DA005 Changed Anyone's Mind?
+1, @westborn for your take on ASR and early impressions of Musetec 005 sound and build quality.  
Streamer/CD ripper
“how does the sound quality compare playing the file on a streamer versus playing the CD on a CD player?” @klarinet Technically, a ripped CD should sound the same as the one played through a cd player. But in reality, just like no two cd player ... 
Streamer upgrade?
@bikeboy52 Denafrips DAC’s are a smart choice irrespective of its origin. They are well designed & implemented; if it weren’t for direct sell model, you would be paying twice as much. Just enjoy pursuit :-)  
Streamer upgrade?
+1, @vonhelmholtz on using better cords and optimizing the Ethernet path.    @bikeboy52  Congratulations! N200 with Pontus II would be a substantial upgrade over A100. Once you settle down with N200, tinker with network optimization to maximize ...
