"the whole dac/server/streamer has an artificial factor to it"@jafant, what is your setup my friend? You couldn't be anymore wrong on this....in a right setup, Tidal HiFi is just as good as Vinyl if not better.  @tomic601, +1 on Diana Krall being ...

Has this happened to you?
+1 sfall. How many days later did your buyer notified about the problem after receiving the item?  Did you by chance follow up with the buyer after he received the item? Some of the older amps have ground loop issues which can be easily fix by rem...

@randy-11,  what is your source on 'Wire do not'? I always experience better 'sound' in my system after few hundred hours of playing time with new equipments and wires. I call it 'settling' period but I do like 'dragon_vibe' answer better :-)Here ... 
what to do with 1000+ CD's, many imports and live concerts
Lots of good advise here, but please I would not sell this treasured collection to a retail store for pennies on a dollar. If I may suggest, make a stack of like CD's, take pictures and start an auction on Audiogon or eBay.  Someone who knows the ... 
I want to stream Tidal to Mytek Brooklyn DAC ...
Howard, There are several threads here on streamers under $3K. Personally, if you're thinking of Mytek Brooklyn DAC which is a very nice choice, I would wholeheartedly recommend Aurender N100H. In regards to Ethernet, unfortunately streamers requi... 
Aurender N100H or Auralic Aries?
@jon2020 , I also own a non-MQA DAC and did not hear any degration in sound quality on red book recordings. Have you reached out to Aurender support for a possible explanation? @falconquest, I only heard Aries demo's at shows and to my ears, N100H...

Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
@lak , I was told that ISO-PUCKS won't be available for another month. I ordered 6 sets to tried them out under different components. I drooled over HRS Nimbus and other uber expensive isolators for a while. I hope to put an end to my search with ...

I picked up a set of GAIA I for my B&W 800D2’s after hearing the demo at AXPONA. I will report my findings once I install them later this week.  
Class D is just Dandy!
@kdude66 That's quite a coincidence...I just ordered a pair of Bel Canto's REF600M's to try them out. The ATI 544NC amp is equipped with dual NC-500 modules in bridge mode per channel, so plenty of power (900W in 4 ohms load) to drive any speaker ...

@kdude66,"I have a new Red Dragon S500....Kenny, I tried this amp recently with my B&W 800D2’s. While it sounded wonderfully adequate in low end and detailed in mid’s /high’s, it didn’t quite push the 800’s the way my current amp does from ATI...
