I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue
Wow! So I just found out that stating a preference is sexist. Full disclosure, I love female vocalists. Generally, more than male. Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Eva Cassidy or Jennifer Warnes have the ability to tug at my soul far more than any m... 
Lotus Harmonic Enhancer by Tombo Audio
That many "Tweaks" reminds me of the early 70's auto malaise caused by fuel shortages and stringent emission control legislation. Car magazines ran many ads from some questionable purveyors of fuel economy improvers.  It got to where if you bough...

Help Connecting Computer To 2-Channel Rig For Video
Unless you search used OPPO is no more. Not enough info about your main system. Does your Pre or receiver have to old 3 wire AVI input?  
Hemi Sync Recordings
Elements of truth in much of this. Choose with care. In most cases, my guess is that the music hasn't changed. Your perception has.  
Seeking Budget CD Player Suggestions
If budget allows, Yamaha has an SACD player, the CD-S1000, for $1300. Sony lists their UBP-X800M2 player for $250 and says it will play most CD/DVD formats including SACD.

Differences in YouTube, Spotify, etc.
Amazon Ultra HD tier because I'm already a Prime member so the subscription is quite reasonable. I also listen to music on You tube because I play acoustic guitar and it is a marvelous learning tool, being able to watch the player and playing alon... 
Preamp - what's the purpose?
Coming to this "hobby" from receivers and being on the lower tier, I need a preamp to connect all the sources I use. Turntable, T.V. and CD/DVD player. There is also a USB in for smart phone or laptop if I want. For streaming, I use a Bluesound no... 
Questioning my Oppo Sonica dac?
Oppo Digital Sonica DAC - The Absolute Sound soix Maybe you should do a little research before badmouthing other people's equipment. BTW, last time I checked, 2017 is in this century.
