THE GRYPHON HAS LANDED at THE SHOW NEWPORT | THE SHOW JUNE 1-3 2018
Gryphon has already made their appearance in US last year. I heard their gear last year at RMAF 2017. The brand is known for high performance gear and comes with a pretty hefty price tag. https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2017/10/12/rmaf-2017-gryphon... 
Bluesound Node 2 as a preamp?
For a budget component, Node 2 does lot of things exceedingly well. As many already suggested, Node2 will sound better with outboard quality DAC. I have my Vault 2 connected to my ARC preamp and DAC. I listened to MQA tracks using Vault 2 analog o... 
Oppo Ceasing production
Anyone who pays over retail for a 205 is a fool IMHO+2 
New Aurender Software Released on March 5th, 2018
@kdude66,To my knowledge, Aurender does not support Roon interface. Aurender units W10, N10, A10 and N100 are only operable by its proprietary Conductor app, which is very good, IMHO.

Oppo Gone - Now What?
@david_ten,Any thoughts on why it may make sense to pick one up? It depends solely on your setup....I picked up 205 for 4K UHD / SACD playback and to use its internal DAC with my SONOS Connect. I have a fairly large library of blu rays and 4K upsc... 
Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything
I would recommend a 12” sub with Elipsa SE, like a REL or JL Audio. I have heard the Elipsa’s and they are amazing speakers with wonderful mid’s and high’s but not so much the low end. @lostbears,Have you tried a sub with SE’s?  
Oppo Gone - Now What?
No doubt, Oppo 205 is one hell of a player and great value. I placed my order for 205 yesterday.   
What 4K blu ray player to buy.
Microsoft X-Box One X is probably the best value outside Oppo 203 and Sony - UBP-X1000ES. I would still recommend grabbing Oppo 203 while you can...the 4K upscaler in 203 is hard to beat for your non-4K discs. And the build quality of Oppo 203 is ... 
Oppo Ceasing production
I did not see this coming at all.....this is indeed a very sad news. I guess they couldn’t keep the operation profitable.

High Quality Fuses in Amps
@stickman451,Be your own judge, install HiFi Tuning Supreme (BTW they are quite amazing), listen and post your results.  
Have you moved from tubed amplification to solid state amplification... Why?
T+A integrated is a great choice. Congratulations!  
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
@grm, Before you spend $$$ on a high end Ethernet cable, I suggest you try the Supra CAT 8 cable. If you hear audible improvements over your existing cable then you can step up to Purist or SoTM CAT 8 cables. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Supra-CAT-8-S...

@phillyb,Why buy music when you can stream CD quality unlimited music for under $20 a month.
