@mapman Fortunately, there are many groundbreaking ‘all-in-one’ products now available that can yield to a very satisfying Audiophile experience. Cambridge EVO 150 certainly one of them. May I know what speakers you’re pairing with EVO 150? Ano... 
Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up
“As the quality of your components goes up the need to have all these filtering and regenerating devices goes away. ” @audphile1  That’s been my findings as well. And Congratulations on embracing the future of streaming, today.  The network attac... 
Best Way To Connect A Bluesound Node
Wired Ethernet for fuller sound and you need to try which of the following connectors sounds best to your ears,  Optical, Coax or USB.  The quality of digital cables matters too so choose wisely. Check out DH Labs, their digital cables are prett...

You want a DAC that sounds *different.* What factor helps you find it?
“Again, it’s all about the clock” @blisshifi No doubt N30SA is a great streamer but unless you’re clocking both N30SA and your DAC with a external Master Clock like MC20, your AES output to T+A DAC isn’t much of a difference maker. You may pref...

@lak, well said!   
Aurender N200
@oddiofyl  Thanks for the update. It definitely sounds like digital board issue in your Lab12. I had a similar issue with my ARC DAC9 board, which ARC replaced for a very nominal cost.  
Aurender N200
@oddiofyl  So what are your initial thoughts?  
TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?
@stevevn  I do not know where you located but both Kensington and Turnberry are available in USA. Which B&W model you’re considering? Here in US, B&W’s are often paired with McIntosh and Classe gear.
