Aurender N20 Music Server Comments and Observations
@garybart, Did you buy new or used? I have tried my N20 with both AES (Acrolink Cable) and USB (Network Acoustics USB III) and it sounds phenomenal through EMM Labs DA2. Jumping from N10 to N20, the N20 clearly excelled in terms of low frequency e... 
Have you heard darTZeel Amplifiers
I’ve been interested in a darTZeel NHB-108 amplifier…..If you’re serious why not reach out to darTZeel dealer? Anyone looking to spend $53K on an amplifier should be considering a dealer demo or possibly in-home audition. As @big_greg pointed out,... 
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
“I predict you’ll all be listening and likely loving streaming at some point.”Sorry@sns. It won’t happen for close-minded folks like georgehifi. No matter what anyone else says, he will show up shortly with a post outlining another compressed reco... 
Recommended USB Cables.
Another vote for Network Acoustics’s USB III.   
I want to ask about deutsche grammophon's new lp vinyl.
+1, lewm. It appears Deutsche Grammophon has a compression free recording. You can listen on Qobuz, if you like what you hear, you can then buy it on Vinyl. https://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=Daniil+trifonov&album=https://dr.loudne... 
Need Help Finding the Right Component
@soix Innuos Zen Mk3 would’ve been a solid option but it won’t work as it lacks SPDIF output, otherwise I would’ve also suggested aurender ACS100 which smokes the competition in SQ, digital file curation and management. PS: I stepped up from Vault... 
Need Help Finding the Right Component
@chayro,Look into Bluesound Vault 2i, which is going to make bit perfect copies of your CD’s. You would connect Vault through a SPDIF cable to your external DAC just like your transport. Download the Bluesound OS or Android app to control the Vaul...

Network Switches
@treebeard1, I highly recommend Supra CAT-8 LAN cable over WireWorld. This is a great sounding cable for the money. Send a message to the seller for 0.5m and he will be happy to oblige. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Supra-CAT-8-ETHERNET-cable-1-meter-M... 
Network Switches
@grannyring, We shared the same approach to ‘cleanse’ our home network by employing EE Switch 8 combined with Network Acoustics ENO cabling and Ethernet filter. And they have worked beautifully and effectively. So what prompted the change? I have ...

Network Switches
Speaking of network switches, @david_ten is spot on! “Think of it as a serious isolation step between a typically noisy router and your Antipodes. If configured, you can also separate your noisy/dirty components from your audio focused ones.”I bro...

Diana Krall - Almost Blue, Qobuz Hi-Res 
Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute
There are plenty of great sounding albums currently available on streaming or downloads (along with bad one’s just like great and bad recordings on other formats like CD’s or Vinyl). But sadly folks like georgehifi who have invested considerable $...
