Is there such thing as a test lab/escrow service for selling/buying audio gear?
Another 'Yes!' vote for TMR; my experience with them has been good folks who really want to work with you and try to make it as easy and convenient as possible. They earn their cut.   
8 Reasons why you should buy an $50,000 DAC
Yes, it was entertaining. But if I had a system that cost in the 6-figures (and some people do, even if it's not me), a $50K DAC would not be at all out of line if I liked the sound and the build.

My impressions of the much Hyped LAIV Harmony DAC (I ordered one and Listened to it.)
@campoly - no, that must have been somebody else; I was looking for a holographic/3D preamp, which I've now got sorted out.  I think if a surface is even, the 4-legged component would be most stable, but if the surface is going to be uneven (don'...

I stream 24/7. Do you?
