Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
@gladmo Thanks for sharing and very informative write up indeed. I am with @thyname, as promising this thing sounds or performs, it isn’t something I would pursue either.

@communique1  Good call, enjoy your N200!   
Ethernet opinions
@shtr74sims  Once you sort out the 25 FT long LAN cable quandary, read up on posts by @audphile1, @grannyring and few others who are using Network Acoustics Muon Pro Kit for next level improvements with your network. There are many other tweaks t... 
notable consolidation possibility, should I or not?
“7 day evaluation window for a full refund.” You will know by end of 7th day trial if 340i X floats your boat or not. I would take the leap if you’re truly looking to consolidate. I also downsized from a pre, amp and a phono 3 years ago to a Accu...

+1, @audphile1 @shtr74sims As you said in one of your posts, “seems the only way really is for someone to try it on their own”. Fortunately, you do own a component that will allow you to hear even a slightest change. The LINKUP cable I recomme...

I’m sorry for your loss, loosing loved ones are never easy. Try this cable from your modem to your M3. You’re very likely to hear audible improvements over generic 25FT cable. The 22AWG version is bit stiffer so no sharp bends. The 26AWG version ... 
Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet?
“That space has 5 dedicated lines and a dedicated sub-panel.” @hilde45  All the more reason to explore better power cords.   
Playback Edelweiss in the house
@verdantaudio  Appreciate your quick reply. While it is disappointing to hear MPS-X as ROON end point only, it is still worth exploring with JPLAY app. I recently tested the app and came away impressed with its native and seamless integration of ... 
Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet?
“I think you’ll have trouble improving on the Pangea AC 9 SE.” Sorry I couldn’t help, what a ridiculous comment 🤣 @hilde45 You’ve have been very methodical in your approach to build and improve your system over the past couple of years. A good... 
Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k
@metaldetektor Thanks for your reply. I did reached out to a dealer and learned couple of things about MPS-X. It’s a ROON end point only and there is a bit of wait to get one. On the upside, since it is UPnP/DLNA based; you can control and strea... 
Playback Edelweiss in the house
@verdantaudio  I believe you’re a dealer for Playback Designs…I may be interested in demoing the MPS-X. But I couldn’t tell if MPS-X uses Roon or has proprietary app to stream music from Qobuz or Tidal natively….what is your understanding? And mo...

@metaldetektor Have you received the MPS-X yet? If yes, what are your thoughts?  I reached out to DP but did not get any reply.

I casually mentioned Computer Audio Design’s CAT in my last post. This is a relatively new product that doesn’t get lot of press here. If you mind extra boxes and added cost, CAT server is worth check out with an external power supply and one of t... 
聖HIJIRI Users thread
@bugredmachine I couldn’t agree with you anymore. I started off with the PC’s as well and end up upgrading all of my cables. Now I have a full loom of HIJIRI’S on all the main components. Also, check out Sternklang cables, they mate very well wi...
