Amps with meters ...
+2, cleeds. IMO, amps doesn’t need to be ‘boring’. Aesthetics beyond SQ are purely subjective....while I don’t care for VU meter on Pass Amps, I do dig the VU meters on Accuphase and Luxman Amps.  
How have I missed out for soooo long!!!!
Thanks for sharing your joy and congratulations on your Project S-2 purchase. I am wondering as well, how have you lived with a subpar Sonos Connect for 2 years? You were advised to replace the Sonos to better your digital experience......https://... 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
And next year something else will come along that will outdo 🍊.....round n round we go. Vicious cycle isn’t it. 
Innuos Statement Review
@astewart8944 Thanks for stepping in...I have been following this thread closely and enjoyed reading all posts except last few posts by hehaw/troy. I had a chance to listen Statement and Zenith MK3 with Phoenix USB reclocker at RMAF 2019. The MK3 ... 
New SR Orange fuse ...
+1, jaybe. I went through couple of blown black fuses with ARC AMP and the preamp. So I end up going .25 value higher than rated and no issues since then.

Stereophile mistakenly writes Mytek Review as dCS
I have heard Bartók in my system and it’s a great sounding DAC and lot more. I applaud dCS to bring Ring DAC based technology to a affordable price point. Even though reviewer makes a compelling argument about how chip based DAC are approaching th... 
Matching Gear matter to you?
Most audiophiles are OCD about their system...LOL. I have gone through few iterations of having multiple components from ‘same’ manufacturer. There are advantages to do so...you get the tonality and synergy right from get go, since they are all cu... 
Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...."
“Most new music is crap. Most new cars are crap. On and on. So of course most new CD players are gonna be crap....and so most new turntables are crap too! So there! People who make this kind of generalizations are either ‘stuck’ in time like needl...

“Music is not a competition. Criticizing digital doesn’t make your vinyl sound better or make digital sound bad. It just reflects poorly on you. Take the chip off your shoulder and enjoy the music. That’s what it’s about for many of us.”@tomcy6, w... 
Unintended Consequences? Digital Streaming
t_e_p, Thanks for the track info, strangely on my device the file shows up as 24bit/44.1kHz. Does your device or app allows upsampling? Theoretically, with added bits you get better dynamic range. Some recordings (depending on the original master)... 
Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...."
IMHO, stick to your Vinyl....digital is not your thing 😉 
Unintended Consequences? Digital Streaming
I think you’re pretty much imagining things here....Qobuz 16bit/44.1kHz or 24bit/192kHz files are superb and IME, don’t have any hint of compression. I hope this is not another attempt to affirm vinyl so called ‘superiority’ over digital. Comparin... 
Streamer Recommendation
W20 has been replaced by W20SE and it remains one of the best server money can buy. There are some very unique features aboard W20SE that allows user to experience the most engaging and natural soundstage, utterly honest to its source. The noise f... 
Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer?
“No streamer matched my Luxman D08u. Period”LMAO!!!!! The folks with ‘absolute’ statements, like they have tried all the top tier Streamer / DAC on the planet.
