A Second Noise Floor?
@guakus , can we see pics of your cable connections to the box?

Hopefully this is in reaction to the poor build quality of the Crimson 275 which was farmed out to Wyred 4 Sound/Glass Audio. This was revealed in a previous thread in which the OP discovered a PCB glued in place, fuse improperly located, and poor... 
Need recommendations for cheap/good 10MHz Clock Genrator to plug into DDC, which feeds DAC
Or you could put a reclocker inline before the DAC.  
Long live Rock? 2022 R&R HOF
+1 @mapman .  I didn't know the public can vote. Is that why all music genres count as R&R?   
Experience with XRCDs
I own SHM-CD’s and Blu-Spec 1&2 which conform to the Redbook standard. The SQ of these disc are based on the quality of the original master. Some SHM-CDs sound excellent as does a well mastered Redbook CD, so it’s hit or miss. XRCD is complet... 
SPDIF Digital Cable Recommendations
If you have the budget, the High Fidelity CT-2 coax starts at $1150. I find it to present music realistically with a sense of air and a smooth top-end. The next model up is $1500 which wasn't available when I made my purchase. https://highfidel... 
Schiit Mini loko+
There's also the Lokius which may give you more control over the bandwidth and a tighter curve over your problem area. I had a Loki on loan from a friend in my system. My setup is pretty revealing and the Loki was transparent. I couldn't detect a... 
Don Sachs DS2 Preamp - too good to be true?
I spoke to Don when I was looking for a preamp. He’s a one-man-shop and builds each unit as a custom order. There was a long wait so I moved on. Everyone raves about the preamp and I believe the hype to be true. BTW, Don is semi-retired now and o... 
Looking for the best power conditioner or regenerator or any product like it for under 2k.
@mgkaye , I got in at the beginning as soon as Rick introduced the new product line. I bought a pair of MC-0.5's on sale. He hadn't introduced the more advanced Helix yet. I added the DeepCore and system was sounding great. I eventually added two... 
Looking for the best power conditioner or regenerator or any product like it for under 2k.
I first bought the EquiCore 1800 and it performed very well lowering the noise-floor. I then added the DeepCore 1800 (on sale at Underwood) which added an even greater benefit at lowering noise, RFI/EMI, plus added surge protection. It was a drama... 
Parasound JC1+ warm up time
SS amps sound best if left powered up. A high powered amp like yours will never be at its best with only 30 minutes warmup. Big SS amps take hours to reach optimal performance, IME. Sure, you can start listening right away and SQ will continue to ... 
SPDIF Digital Cable Recommendations
You have a beautiful system. You should use a S/PDIF cable that equals the quality of your components. So yes, a high-end cable. Cables do make a difference, you want a bit perfect transfer from the streamer to the DAC. It doesn’t have to be high ... 
Here is my beef
@mahler123  No. The software recognises an email address and filters it.
