A cable routing reminder

Should I still buy a CD player? Suggest one?
Jim, Picking up from your post above, the cost of Vinyl and setup varies. I don’t own Vinyl so I would defer the advise to someone else. If you’re not ready to give up on CD’s yet then like other have suggested, buy a CD player and continue to reb...

REL subwoofer using only red cable not yellow per REL technical dept

@saleh84,Thank you for you post. As you know, the streaming / server segment is much more crowded and competitive now than what it was in 2015 (N10 release date). Don’t know about you but I cannot see myself spending $29K for Taiko, $22K for W20SE... 
Subwoofer switch

Moving up from an Oppo 205
Aurender A10 is a very nice all in one box solution. I am not 100% certain that you hear improvements in the DAC section over Oppo. The only way to know is to compare them in your own system. If you already like N100, then I think you will be plea...

Aurender with their proprietary Conductor App...been a very happy user for 6 plus years.
