“I have always found that a blowtorch can expedite the process..” @pesky_wabbit I think @bossa will be up for it if you wanna send your amp over 😂  
CD transport vs.streaming
@ericgeer Thanks for the clarification. It appears the D.BOB is designed for end users with universal transport players with subpar internal DAC’s.  
Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO...
“I am looking at the NA website but there is no mention of Eno Ag anymore” @debjit_g  They may have reduced the line to one version of ENO since they are getting to release upscaled version of ENO called Muon.  https://www.networkacoustics.c... 
Ethernet patch panel and network switch question
@wtb Network Acoustics ENO comes with a 30 days money back guarantee. The only way for you to know if adding a ENO provides audible improvements between patch panel and K40 is by trying it. If you don’t hear any audible improvements, send it back... 
Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek
“I had only heard great things about this (Pass) instrument, and I do know Nelson Pass personally. But here it comes: I did not like it a bit. ” @reimarc, For above reason alone, allow me to reiterate @david_ten solid advise, audition in your sys... 
What Is So Special About Harbeth?
@arafiq Since you own a pair of REL’s, consider auditioning the TAD CE1’s before settling with your next set of speakers. If I ever built a 2nd system, they will be my top choice. https://www.technicalaudiodevices.com/compact-evolution-one/  
Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui
@metaldetektor Thank you for your very helpful and concise feedback. When you ‘actually’ compare DAC’s that are comparative in both performance and price, it gives our readers a true perspective on what to expect vs anyone who loves sharing thei... 
Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO...
@sns Once again, you missed my point. As you pointed out in one of your earlier post, ‘I still think much to be learned’. Carry on!  
Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO...
@antigrunge2 I’m well aware of your somewhat idiosyncratic system approach. My point is simple, it is very easy to get carried away in our pursuit to improve performance to nth degree. There is this breaking point where adding more ‘tweaks’ will...

“I completely understand if one had a few glasses of wine or some shots of some fine Tennessee bourbon though!” @tyray Friday’s are all about Jazz (Scott Hamilton) and 18 Years Old Macallan 🥃  
CD transport vs.streaming
“Is there even a way to stream DSD? Download, yes, but streaming?” @ericgeer The major advantage with DSD downloads, once downloaded; one can ‘stream’ DSD file without the need of any additional hardware. The whole point of streaming is to elim...

@grannyring Well said! I stopped reading the post after this comment 😂 “How are they fabricating these interconnects that they are so vastly outperforming the competition?  
Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui
@metaldetektor I just looked up Ideon Absolute DAC, high praises all around. But at $34K, it’s target audience are definitely not your average joe’s :-) In comparison, my Merging +player with Roon core and end point proven to be quite a bargain ...

“I’ll still maintain the most beneficial network improvements come post server, which means two computer setup, aka separate server feeding usb renderer/roon endpoint/streamer.” I respectfully disagree. There are other streamlined options to isol... 
Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui
“No one has heard the Meitner?” @laoman Go to WBF for user feedback on DV2. This DAC’s is too rich for this site (no offense). BTW, DV2 is an outstanding DAC with a reasonably good VC. “I am open to listening to anything, however I have never ...
