DAC’s
Meitner MA3 DAC sounds good. The price is good. I would definitely consider this.

Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
@Fleschler I find that sad. If you have high end equipment because you think it sounds great, good for you. For example if I ever win the lottery, I would love to buy a pair of Borresson 05s, simply because they are the best speakers I have ever h... 
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
That was a quick and interesting response.

@holmz  "Or just to lord it over others… to be used as a social signalling tool." Really? I know no one who does this.  
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
@amir_asr After having read your reply and getting past the fake outrage, your answer is "No." , you do not check. That is alright, but it will always leave you open to questions.I say fake outrage because no allegation or insinuation was made; ...

"The industry is transforming though because if they don’t measure, then I might. :)" What unbelievable arrogance. No wonder people in the industry regard your site as a joke. You still have not answered if you actually ever check whether Yang se...

Those ASR minions are so silly it makes one want to burst out laughing. I am just reading the thread on vinyl referenced above. What an absolute hoot. Then we get this comment: "Oh, science is right out of the window for this thread." I think ther...

This forum is really becoming as silly as ASR. Yes, a lot of audio equipment is overpriced. Yes, some cheaper equipment sounds great. Yes, some dear equipment sounds poor. Yes, some high priced amplifiers are worth it and you can really hear the d... 
DAC suggestions
If you do not like brashness, avoid Topping Dacs. I find them really hard to listen to, especially for female voices.They also appear to have reliability issues. In your price range I would suggest a Denafrips. Gustard is quite good as well.  
Power cords or power conditioner
Nyev: "Lol…. I do get a kick out of the audiosciencereview channel.  I find it amusing and utterly useless. " Completely agree. It is not regarded seriously by those who like to listen to music.  
Advice for Streaming Newbies - Best Bang for Our Bucks
I agree that Qobuz is far superior.  
One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer?
Obviously 1 tt with 2 arms and an adjustable phone stage. There is no question about this. The Kuzma Stabi R is mentioned above.  
Direct Drive
"Motor noise from DD??? Must be a cheap Fisher or BSR." Not so, cogging was a major problem in older Technics. I do not know if they fixed it. Suffice to say, I would not buy a dd tt. Yes, tangential arms sound a lot better. Or look at Thales.  
Indentical measurments = Identical performance?
I really do not see the point of these posts. ASR is not taken seriously by those who are really interested in music. It is best to ignore them and let them argue amongst themselves.
