Anybody want a laugh?
@three_easy_payments, Your last post was spot on 😊 
Flexible/Compliant Speaker Cables
Look into Audio Envy SP9 speaker cables, very light weight and flexible. And they are remarkably transparent and detailed without being forward.  
XLR cable with warmth without losing resolution
@essrand, If appearance (I know some people are into that) and brand pedigree matters most to you then by all means go for Purist Neptune or Poseidon. Either of these will give the Purist ‘house’ sound. Purist cables are pretty good and they have ... 
Wisdom of buying high priced digital gear (given new advancements underway)
OP, if you treat node 2i as entry level streamer, you won’t be disappointed.  
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
IME, synergy is the single most important element in piecing together a system. And amps are no different, especially when it comes to pairing them with your speakers. What sounds best in one system may sound like crap in another system. After try... 
Has anyone shipped things back to China?
Should you choose to sell, don’t forget to disclose the annoying clicking noise on COAX output to avoid buyer’s remorse and PayPal dispute! https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/bluos-server-with-usb-out

Another vote for Audio Envy.  
What's the best non-DAC streamer?
@rbodner,W20 is an outstanding streamer but I am afraid it’s out of OP’s budget :-)Thank you for your feedback!  
BluOS server with USB out?

Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match
How is your room? Do you have any room treatments? What DAC you’re using with your N10. I also own N10 paired with EMM Labs DA2 and I can tell you it’s not N10. As others have pointed out Diablo is far from bright, in fact quite the opposite. 
Who says cables don't make a difference?
“I dont know why this subject is not only controversial but all around all time....”Because there are so many pseudo claims in the name of science behind a simple copper or silver wire to transform your audio system. 
What's the best non-DAC streamer?
^^^I would stay away from components with wall warts. A linear power supply is a must for digital components. If you plan on stacking ‘boxes’ and cables then you may consider SoTM. 
What's the best non-DAC streamer?
I would look into Aurender N100H, Auralic Aries G1 and Lumin U1 Mini. Personally, I have experienced N100H in my system and it’s a solid performer with outstanding iOS app.

Ian, You can always place a order directly and he will make it in your native voltage. It will be a wait of couple of months but it’s well worth it.Â
