Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room
@woots Check out core audio designs. Arnold at Core can custom design a rack to your specifications. Owning an another rack never cross my mind in last 15 plus years. I have owned several configurations from Core as my system evolved over the ye... 
Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like?
Looks like I stirred a pot by posting the review..lol! I always taken reviews as a guideline to one’s subjective opinion of a component in their system and personal preferences. Nothing more, nothing less! To @soix point, a comparison with any com... 
Best Buy Says Bye-Bye to DVDs
I am with @ghdprentice on this…I have not spun a blu-ray movie for a very long time. The two OPPO’s in my home are turned off. The streaming content with right equipment is just as good as 4K Blu-rays, especially new releases. My Sony 77" BRAVIA X... 
Streamer Operating System Storage: SSD vs EEPROM?
@classic8  In case of Aurender, the operating system is stored and loaded from an SSD, which is also used for the system cache.

Streamer Operating System Storage: SSD vs EEPROM?
@ghdprentice  W20SE is just as amazing as N30SA. I was quite torn between the two, as I had them both in my home for a head to head comparison. You can’t beat either of these top flight players when it comes to SQ.   
Streamer Operating System Storage: SSD vs EEPROM?
@classic8 Aurender uses Low-Power High-Efficiency CPU to run its OS. From Aurender website, “Most other systems buffer. Aurenders cache. Every Aurender model features a massive solid state memory from which all playback occurs. This important f...

Rumors of CD Demise Exagerated? New Hegel
“Streaming tends to be a "Bounce around" affair ” That sounds like a user issue than the medium…lol. I have over 100 playlists in Qobuz that renders hours of nonstop listening. If you don’t like a song, skip and cue to next. For $12.99 a month, I ...

“I am curious how many of these people used a fibre optic cable for the final feet just before the DAC.” @yyzsantabarbara  I honestly do not know, you can start a new thread and conduct a poll. Million dollar or inexpensive music streamer/server... 
Audio grade version of this cord? (Polarized NEMA 1-15P to Polarized IEC 60320 C7)
@deep_333  If you can find one, look for AQ NRG-X series PC. Otherwise Shunyata and Cullen makes very good C7 power cord.  https://www.dedicatedaudio.com/products/shunyata-venom-v14-power-cord-c7-1?_pos=41&_sid=8f9ad7160&_ss=r ht...

@soix No further affirmations needed! There are several folks here, who took the initiative to audition a high quality streamer over PC; heard the obvious improvements and couldn’t go back to PC as their prime source for streaming. The 1’s and ... 
USB Cable
OP, a system like yours deserves a high quality streamer like Aurender N20 or Innuos Pulsar (if you prefer ROON). I just concluded a head to head comparison between N30SA and W20SE and chose to go with N30SA over W20SE. I used to own N20 and IMHO,...
