Computer Audio..Stream or download?
I have been auditioning Azur851N since this Friday and very pleased with the sound. In case, anyone wants to know, this is how I hooked up Sonos - Sonos - Azur851N via Digital CoaxAzur851N - SSP800 via XLR Streaming music through Tidal HIFI

Hello, Are you streaming Tidal wirelessly to your HT? I reckon, connecting my laptop to a DAC via USB cable would be ideal way to get the best sound. What can I say, I have been spoiled by the convenience of controlling my Sonos through iPadI reca...

I have signed up with Tidal yesterday. The HIFI service is bit expensive, $16.99/mo. if you sign up for 6 months. Otherwise, you pay $19.99. I did notice bit more transparency and overall robust sound in A/B comparison with Spotify. Overall, I was...

Well, it better be...that's a 10K CD/DAC player. Since I already own two red book players, I wouldn't consider Romulus. But, Pandora signature begs for consideration :) I would be try out the Sonos mod first and run it through my Classe pre-amp. H...

"The Cambridge audio 851N you were asking about is a 851D with a cxn streamer built in"Sonos provides great functionality and convenience but from what I read so far, the issue lies with it's mediocre Cirrius Logic CODAC and the associated high ji...

"I have a question for you regarding your goals"I don't plan to stream music I already own. The idea is to explore without shelling out $15-20 for SACD's or CD's. It seems lot of folks have good experience with Tidal.

Alan,Thank you for your feedback. That's one heck of DAC you got, I am going to check out Tidal soon. The market is flooded with DAC'd and everyone seems to claim theirs as 'best'. I am hoping for couple of more recommendations before I make my pu...

Thank you all for your feedback, much appreciated. 
Cambridge Audio Azur 851N
I own a Classe CA-2200 amp. My goal is to get better dynamics out of digital music. The sound from Olive and Sonos is pretty dull and flat on most music. I may try some hi-res (DSD) downloads in near future. But for now, it's pretty much Spotify a...

I figured as much. But that's the future and seems the most cost effective way to listen to new and old songs. 
Audience Au24 SE power cord Upgrade
Just want to reiterate, there is no denying that $220 SE upgrade through Audience is a heck of a deal. The whole point of bringing this conversation is about achieving sonic nirvana and best bang for our bucks. If you're considering SE upgrade for... 
Audience Au24 SE power cord Upgrade
Hi Raks,Thanks for your reply. I agree, they are expensive, but you gain whole lot of more then settling for Cardas. Furutech's are currently on sale for $223.00 a pair. So the upgrade cost is the same as Audience. If you're a DIY kind a guy, you ... 
Adding a 2 ch Classe 2200 to Classe 5200 HT amp
Hey Funhog,What did you end up doing? I recently went through 3 step upgrade by adding CA-2200, 5200 and SSP-800 to complement my B&W's 803s, 804s and HTM3s. Classe provided much better synergy compared to combo of Krell HTS / Showcase 5 chann... 
Krell KAV-2250 Power Cord?
I would recommend using Purist Audio's Venustas AC Power Cord.
