Classe Audio rises again
This is a great news! I can hardly wait to see their next product under new management. Dave Nauber is a great guy!  
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
+1, Signal Cable. Punches way above its asking price. I found them to be quite neutral and detailed. 
Bowers Wilkins/Classe - Anyone had service from them as horrible as me?
Classe is no longer operational. I would try someone at B&W service center and get a update on pending repair orders.  
Tidal adds hi-res audio streams with 'Tidal Masters'
@ghosthouse,This is a good news for those that do not own MQA compatible DAC’s. The Tidal desktop app is now doing the second unfold of MQA encoded files, allowing end users to stream music at 24bit/96kHz resolution. Prior to this upgrade, MQA fil... 
Aurender N10 Airplay (Audio Streaming) Stuttering
Aurender only supports Tidal streaming service and they recommend hard wired connection to a modem or router. 
Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members
Nothing new, the best thing to do is ignore them. I sell and buy frequently here and if you’re patient, you end up getting your asking price or obo as long as thd item is fairly priced.

Recommendations for music network player
@pophaudio,My recommendation to try a good RCA (SPDIF) cable instead of Toslink. IME, the RCA digital cable will sound ‘fuller’ vs Toslink which can sound ‘thin or flat’ in some systems, YMMV.  
DACs and bass response?
Steve wrote, “Because Tubes are usually lacking in dynamics, bass tightness or HF extension. You can get the liquid midrange of tubes and the dynamics, bass and HF extension of the very best SS without having that "tubey" distorted sound”I am sure... 
DACs and bass response?
“it can sound almost identical to SS”Why would someone buy a tube component that almost sound identical to Solid State?  
Recommendations for music network player
@pophaudioAcrolink cables are pretty decent, once you hook up your Vault please report back your experience.  I am using Purist Musaeus IC’s (very neutral sounding) and Verastarr SPDIF cable.  
GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable
@tommylion, Didn’t I warned you 😉Component grounding is just as important as AC grounding. My system took major leap forward when I added component grounding from Nordost (QKORE6). I am glad you’re enjoying your upgrade. Cheers! 
DACs and bass response?
@stuartk,What are your source components? I am thinking may be there is a room for improvements elsewhere in your system.  
Newbie here with a cable question
@ceborg999,Check out iFi iPurifier, couple of these $99 plugins with good quality passive power distributor would do just fine. https://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/accessory-ac-ipurifier/ 
GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable
@tommylion,That’s a very encouraging news! I am glad to hear your positive experience so far...On another thread here, I acted on a lead and order a pair of iFi iPurifiers earlier today. They seem to be well thought out in their design philosophy ...
