Room treatments
@davehrab,You brought up some excellent points. I am a newbie when it comes to room treatments. I have been on fence for while, I guess my biggest dilemma is where do I start. My room is 30' W x 10' D x 8' H.  As is my room sound pretty good but i... 
SOtM dCBL-CAT7 LAN Cable
@mikeg I would say YES! The 'Filter' block and eliminates the wide band digital noise inflow from the router or NAS. The dCBL-CAT7 cable in my system sounds amazing over my previous non-filtered cable. The overall soundstage is touch more airy, de... 
How Is MQA Fareing?
@shadorne In the words of Peter McGrath, an accomplished recording engineer, A/B comparison between unprocessed hi-rez files of his orchestral recordings, followed by the time-corrected MQA versions, the differences were quite profound. The MQA ve... 
How Is MQA Fareing?
@shadorne I thought the article was pretty self explanatory on how MQA files are being decoded through non-MQA and MQA compatible DAC's. If you want to learn more about MQA, there are plenty of articles related to MQA on worldwide web. Cheers!

For the benefit of those still unclear about how MQA works, this is a very nice article about demystifying the ambiguity surrounding the MQA, https://www.audiostream.com/content/mqa-decoding-explained 
How Is MQA Fareing?
ejr1953, That's good to know. But I don't own a headphone or turntable. Like yourself I am very content with spinning my modest and rare collection of SACD's, XRCD's and K2HD's.  I got into digital streaming couple of year back for the sheer conve... 
How Is MQA Fareing?
ejr1953,I appreciate your candid feedback. I can totally relate to above as I experience these very same attributes while listening to my 24bit/192kHz downloads vs. Tidal HiFi. I must add, as good as Tidal HiFi is on 16bit/44.1kHz recordings, high... 
We've owned B&W speakers since late 80's
@jond ,  great advise on working with a B&M dealer and attending the RMAF.  The operator will be able to preview audio components and speakers at a very wide price range.

How Is MQA Fareing?
@ejr1953 I was thinking about purchasing the Brooklyn DAC to realize the true potential of MQA recordings. Would you say, a well recorded MQA recording provides substantial audible upgrade with Brooklyn DAC over their 16bit/44.1kHz counterpart on ... 
Replace Dell Laptop with Streamer? Which one?
Adding a Aurender N100H would make a superlative partnership with Brooklyn DAC.  Aurender iPad app is the best in the business outside Roon. The built quality and Aurender support is also top notch. And yes, you would gain substantial jump in the ... 
Rowland versus ARC
@roxy1927  +1 for ARC LS28. It's a phenomenal pre and punches way beyond its asking price. And if money is no object, I would suggest auditioning the ARC Ref6 as well.

If you’re only looking for surge protection, I would recommend Environmental Potentials EP-2050 Surge and AC Waveform Corrrction. You would need to hire a qualified electrician. Chris at VH Audio is a great guy and he will answer any questions reg...
