Which component to upgrade 1st ?
@milo0812 Border Patrol DAC is sold with a 14-days return policy, no restocking fee. Unfortunately, MHDT DAC carries a 10% restocking fee. I would defer to @hilde45 sane (no BS) advise on MHDT Orchid DAC as his setup include both Node 2 and Orch... 
Which component to upgrade 1st ?
@hilde45 Good suggestion on Node mods. I am curious if you have auditioned and compared any of the offerings from Lumin or Aurender with your modified Node. Given the OP speakers, I would replace Chord Qutest with a good tube DAC before replaci... 
Name this wonderful system
@chaseton  I have yet to hear anything as incredible as TAD ME1. They remain my #1 choice for a ultimate bookshelf speaker system.   
Name this wonderful system
I suspect that audio is being generated by pictured system. If you pay close attention to the picture, it’s virtually ‘staged’. As far as system goes, the speakers are B&W 805 and electronics appears to be Accuphase Integrated and CD player.

@milpai  Nicely done, the chassis has a uncanny similarity to a well known audio server :-)

@milpai  Congratulations on your new server! We want details :-) I can’t wait to learn more about it, can you please post a picture in your existing system?  
Moving from integrated to separates
+2, @mulveling & @arafiq on more power is not about being able to go louder.      
Moving from integrated to separates
@arafiq Given your discerning taste in gear, in case you are unable to swing separates in your budget, here is an alternative that I highly recommend. It will make a sublime pairing with your JA speakers. They do make separates but it’s probably...

Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito
@mahler123 I don’t think people are going to stop buying vinyl. What transpired at MoFi is sad and hopefully we can expect complete transparency moving forward with their process and origin of the recordings. And this incident sets a precedent f... 
Roon Core Server Player
@dougthebiker About ER placement, my comment was in reference to @fastfreight post since he is using his ER with Network Acoustics Muon passive filter. So if you’re only using ER between your router and Innuos then you’re good to go.  
Roon Core Server Player
@fastfreight Well, that’s certainly the first for me. But I know, power supply plays a huge role to a component performance especially if you can isolate it from audio circuitry. My DAC, Server and Ethernet switch, all have external power suppli... 
OMG. What now?
@ideal8592 In all seriousness, you know something a miss if you’re thinking about something better! Maybe you need a good preamp or something else in your system that you must do before you spent your $$$ on a preamp. What about your room acoust...
