HDMI absence
HDMI is commonly used for both multi-channel audio and video/audio in a blu-ray player and Cable set-top TV boxes. For two channel audio, i2s protocol was adopted. But to this day, there is no standardization with i2s protocol. Some manufacturers ... 
Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best?
OP, You didn’t say anything about your room dimensions. The 200 watts, single sub probably inadequate (don’t think you want to rattle your windows...lol). I would recommend adding a second sub to improve bass response. I am using a pair of REL’s (... 
What would you do if items from Ebay had beenlost?
OP,Hope your package shows up soon. I recommend installing a Ring Door Bell, you are always in the know who is showing up at your door. A video proof is a great alibi in case of any claims.

+2, big_greg.  I’ve dropped Tidal last October, don’t miss it at all. There is enough music to explore on Qobuz and SQ is outstanding, especially 24bit/192khz high resolution files.

Extra power or cleaner power?

EMM LABS DV2
@jakesnak, Thanks for your kind feedback. Without a doubt N10’s SPDIF and AES/EBU audio outputs are superior over its USB output due to signal from these outputs being regulated by one of the finest on-board OCXO clock. I’ve used both of these out... 
Extra power or cleaner power?
@hilde45,If you’re going to go through the trouble of running dedicated power line, I suggest you run two dedicated lines. One for Analog and the other one for digital. Once you do, install high quality passive power distributor (strips) for each ... 
Audio envy cables
I took a chance on AE during my visit to RMAF in October 2018. Given the entry price, I said why not. My whole system now wired with Audio Envy cables...PC, IC, Speaker and Digital. IMHO, a fundamental feature of a good audio system is to convey t... 
External DAC connection for Bluesound Node 2i (after "Another streaming newbie" thread)
“I think the difference(s) you hear using an external DAC will ultimately depend on the quality/resolution of the rest of your "system" and in some cases the quality of the cabling, both digital and analog, used through the system.”+1, kalali. Som... 
EMM LABS DV2
@jakesnak,The VC in DV2 is much superior than Sigma SSP.  I wouldn’t use any preamp between DV2 and M600’s. As far as NS1 vs N10, I am not in a position to comment since I have no direct experience with NS1. And yes, I am using a USB cable. You ca...

“Do you have the EMM REF preamp?”Nope, I am currently using Shindo Monbrison preamp.
