Call your Qobuz Representative to Request DSD
@tonydennison Check them out..I bought lot of titles from them. Expensive but they got some rare gems. You may end up picking your jaw off the floor once you hear some of the DSD recordings from 60’s. https://www.highdeftapetransfers.ca/pages/d... 
Cables for Aurender N150
Try as many cables your finances allows and let your ears decide which cable sounds best in your system. Everyone seems to have their favorites nowadays :-)  
Cables for Aurender N150
@txp1 Pretty much everyone reported positive results from trying ENO passive filter. You can give it a shot and see if you can hear improvements over Alan Maher Ethernet cable. Another option to improve N150 is swapping out the stock fuse. All o... 
Cables for Aurender N150
@txp1  I suggest you try NA ENO USB III cable. It comes with 30-Day “Try At Home” Money-Back Guarantee. This was one of my favorites USB cables under $1K price points.  https://www.networkacoustics.com/shop/eno-usb-cable-3/  
Value of a premium Ethernet cable
@macg19  Great outcome for you and thanks for keeping an open mind!  
What I'm Listening to Right now in DSD,
One of my favorites…great music. Intimate, sensual and DSD64 delivers the essence in spades.  
Should I Sell My ARC REF 6 and Get A Pass Labs XP-32
As a buyer, I would be skeptical too given recent re-structuring. Next few months would be interesting at ARC, we will get to see how they respond to back log of repairs and instill confidence among potential buyers by resuming production and hope... 
After a long, long sleep: ML-335
@musicfan2349 I would look for freight shipper given the weight of amp and secure it on a pallet. It will cost you more but it’s well worth it. You don’t want to ship 150lbs amp via FedEx or UPS ground even if it’s in original packaging.  
If I rip all my CD's to flac files do I still need a CD transport?
@mahler123  well said! We can debate the sonic differences between digital and analog all day long but the truth of the matter is, both are capable of visceral experience. I have recordings that sounds superb on both formats. I often see folks pr... 
After a long, long sleep: ML-335
That’s a gorgeous amp. I recommend sending the amp to ML’s authorized service center for complete check-up before you insert in your system.

“Any optical drive that rips 100% with Exact Audio Copy is the same as any other one. You don't need a fancy drive as long as you are getting good rips as EAC reports.” @jji666  It appears you have some experience in ripping CD’s. Would you be k...

+1, @designsfx Don’t give up on CD’s if you own a decent CD player. I made a great choice of buying Aurender ACS100 few years back. I still buy CD’s, rips them for easy access or play them on my ‘tube’ CD player when mood strikes. The ACS100 has... 
WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD?
““Expensive” is a relative concept. Items that you may personally consider to be expensive may be relatively “inexpensive” to others. ” @designsfx ..well said!   
DCS Bartok APEX or LINA and master clock
I haven’t heard it personally but my dCS dealer told me that Apex upgrade was substantial and worth pursuing. I honestly don’t care for dCS as a brand, firstly its house sound and their policies for 2nd hand customers (upgrades and warranty). I f... 
Old CD player back from the dead—prompting many questions!
@patrickdowns  If you do most of your listening via streaming then It makes sense to prioritize Pre/DAC purchase. The key to put together a well thought out system is Patience. It took me 2.5 years of financial planning to pull the trigger on my ...
