What exactly is critical listening? Who does it?
You know you're a critical listener when you have about twenty copies of the same album over different formats, re-masters etc. Yes, listening to every little tiny difference in timbre, tone etc. brings me joy.  
Bi amping with two different pairs of monoblocks
^^^^^THIS^^^^^ Unless the power amps are identical volume control will be a problem. You will get a much bigger bang for your buck by upgrading your OPPO to a modern streamer/hard disk player and use your OPPO to rip DSD files. Don't even think... 
New Product - Schiit Byggy DAC Details
@yyzsantabarbara  I guess you haven't configured the DSD/PCM outputs correctly within the OPPO. Try setting to DSD then PCM if that doesn't work. Also try several different discs because the OPPO is an old player and will not decode some modern ... 
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
@mylogic  Yes, The Geldof doesn't like Mondays. What a twonk! Watched "Sitting Target" today, I'd give it a 5/10 but not bad as a period piece. It even had a Hillman Avenger....lol...I had one as a teenager. If you like this movie check out McV... 
Looking for a more up-to-date streamer

Anyway never seen The Wild Bunch Director's Cut, off the watch it now. One of my favourite movies, which hasn't degraded with time.

@lordmelton. Just curious, in what ways do you think reservoir dogs has an aged well? @simao  Don't get me wrong Reservoir Dogs is a fabulous movie in many ways, especially the soundtrack. However my gripe is the cop torture scene which was ex...

Well I’ll give this thread 48 hours now that "The View" is onboard. Newsom and the DEI mayor are supporting the riots because the rioters and illegal immigrant voters are keeping them in power. Bienvenido a El Salvador!

@mylogic  Midnight Cowboy is one of my favourite movies of all time, I also have the soundtrack CD. "Everybody's Talking" is superb. The Reservoir Dogs soundtrack is my favourite, but the movie hasn't aged well. You've probably heard OF it but w...
