T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501
@jasbirnandra The T200 comes very highly recommend by many here as the best value DAC under $15k. Much depends on your system of course and you need a demo.  
T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501
My choice would be neither because they both have pre-amps and the Weiss has a renderer, I would choose a pure DAC without anything else. The reasons to choose the Weiss against the T200 come down to size and it's 4ch processing which I believe c...

@ja_kub_sz Thank you for a well thought out comparison between the MMT, T200 and Musetec 005. You have exactly the same priorities as myself, Solid State, dynamic wide presentation and I thought very interesting that you try to get a multi-channe...

Oh .....so you've got a secret DAC....let me guess???? It's a DCS because they're all show and no go! Just like???? You still don't get the relevance of "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN, MAN!"

Here you come with your nonsense again. Try to avoid getting “sticky” with resolutions, PCM vs DSD, I2s, USB, etc because it all depends on the designer and the implementation. Also, the poster who talked about the MSB solution being all in one ...

The MSB gives you the choice of having everything in a single box. DAC, Pre-Amp, Streamer; storage is probably through a NAS. Native DSD is an option if you use the USB input module, native DSD should be possible via NAS. Everything is clocked i...

@chauncey I would suggest that you get a streamer/server/dac with I2S and or USB, otherwise you'll have to convert DSD files to DOP. Another item that is essential is a 10MHz master clock so look for equipment with a 10MHz clock input. My setup ... 
Audioquest source AC Hurricane vs FireBird
@chauncey SR recommends that you go up to the next highest fuse so you should get a 12.5A slow blow. However I’d check with D’Agostino first. @kennyc Yes, spending about $50k for two pairs of ICs and a set of SCs is asking a bit much. My AQ deale... 
Audioquest source AC Hurricane vs FireBird
@kennyc The Dragon ICs and speaker cables are out of my budget at this time but a 1M used Dragon PC is quite reasonable and AQ will verify for free. The Dragon PCs are solid silver which is very highly polished. Yes, you are right a quality PC on... 
Would It Be Possible To Get Help Finding This Song?
I can tell you why the OP watches FOX because it's the only news network that has even mentioned the FBI revealing the 1023 document to the House Oversight Committee, which proves that Biden and Hunter each received $5M EACH from Ukraine. https:/... 
Would It Be Possible To Get Help Finding This Song?
If you're watching The Five....you don't deserve to know the name of the song ! Yeah, better watch "The View".    
Audioquest source AC Hurricane vs FireBird
@chauncey If your budget will stretch to using Dragons on all your major components, I would certainly recommend that you do so. I have, besides my power amp, I have Dragons on my pre-amp and server/streamer. Getting a Dragon for my DAC next but... 
Audioquest source AC Hurricane vs FireBird
The Hurricane is the sweet spot in Audioquest's lineup. I was advised directly by a dealer that the Firebird is an incremental increase but not worth the money. The Dragon is a different story, though. Yes, the Dragon is a very different story....

Ripping CD's to SSD?
@fthompson251 You only need ethernet for your Aurender to function. You connect to your Aurender using WIFI so you need your Aurender’s MAC address, can’t help you there I only use Windows. It’s important to connect using WIFI so you can re-name...
