SACD or not
schmitty1,Are you planning to buy SACD’s? If the answer is yes, then you should look into a Marantz SACD/CD player. There are few listings on Audiogon, check them out. I currently own a Marantz SA-11S2 and both SACD and CD playback is superlative.... 
Nice retro looking amp from Sweden 🇸🇪
I am too digging the appearance and its priced ‘right’.  At 50 wpc, one would need fairly efficient (>92db) speakers.   
Options besides a computer for streaming
If your transport has a streamer, then you wouldn’t need a MacBook or any additional device. I would reach out to Lampizator for setup support.  
Ching Cheng Power Cords
I would pick Signal or Cullen PC’s over any Ching Cheng or generic brand. http://signalcable.com/magicpower.htmlhttp://www.cullencable.com 
Turntable
mads1,Thank you for the recommendation. They have been on my radar since I visited their booth at AXPONA 2019.  Pretty good stuff.

Frank, So no sign of jay23.....well, I am not surprised at all. Grab a glass of wine and listen to Harlem Nocturne by Illinois Jacquet....i bet your system is just as magical as this essential Jacquet 😊 
What is wrong with audiophiles?
“this thread is clearly just your excuse to be high and mighty and diss other audiophiles.”prof, you nailed it 😉 
Qobuz
No issues with Qobuz streaming on my Aurender server or my iPhone. I listened to Qobuz over Bluetooth in my truck, no drops. The Qobuz app is well laid out and makes it a breeze to find the music.

“I would propose a simple rule for posters on this forum. If you have not auditioned a particular class of gear (i.e. power cables, cable elevators) or a particular piece of gear (amp, speakers, whatever) then you shouldn't have an opinion on how ... 
Spotify sound inprovement.
@coach59, Qobuz has come a long way since it’s launch in US last November. Their catalog was nowhere near Spotify or Tidal at the time of launch but that’s the not the case anymore. I listened to primarily Jazz / Classical and Qobuz now has all of... 
Does anyone know if Bluesound Node 2i Streamer/Dac is being updated soon.
“I think it’s one of the best bargains“.  I agree. Anyone serious about streaming, node 2i is a way to go under $1K price point.  
Qobuz Special Offer
I used to have Tidal (4 plus years), after comparing the services for 6 months I’ve dropped Tidal. My decision to keep Qobuz was based on the sound quality and catalog in 24bit/192kHz. Qobuz customer service is excellent, they have been expanding ... 
Spotify sound inprovement.
With Qobuz now offering high resolution streaming for $12.49 per month, why would anyone subscribe to low resolution Spotify or other streaming services.  
Qobuz Special Offer
I just renewed mine for another year for $12.49/monthly.  This is freakin’ awesome.

@uberwaltz, Ouch....that’s a crazy money for electric bill. Either your home needs new in-wall insulation or you listen to lot more music than Frank does...😀
