I’m in the same situation; CD and streamer. Hopefully someone will have an answer.  
Anyone know why the 'Pay Later' option isn't active..
I recently had listings posted and was able to use PAY LATER. I never signed up to be a dealer. If you go to the posted link above, you'll see Dealer is a different option. Contact Admin.

Bi-Amping Options B&W 801 Series 2
@oldrooney  I'm so sorry for your loss. I saw the pic of the crossover network, perhaps you can ask the dealer to explain the design. They are impressive speakers and it's great that they sound as good as they look. My earlier comments were abou... 
What if Jeff Beck was a drummer?
Or Steve Gadd or Vinnie Colaiuta If he was Vinnie, he would be playing drums and guitar on his albums and in concert.  
Bi-Amping Options B&W 801 Series 2
For biamping you’ll need an external crossover or passive volume device to match the gain between top and bottom drivers. Is that what the Shiit Freya is for or can this be done with the Mac control processor? You have a beautiful system, btw.

Western Electric 12AX7 coming this summer.
12AX7 is a good choice for WE to introduce. It's widely used and the remaining NOS selection are priced way too high. I do find it curious that WE was Beta-testing a 6SN7 to a select few audiophiles and the reviews were so positive. Very surprisi... 
Yes, digital cables matter too
@knownothing  Well done, a lot of thought went into your audition process.  I'm not here to influence your selection, but I had to comment after seeing what @soix had to offer. The Acoustic Zen was one of my favourites during my auditions. It was... 
Experience with iFi SPDIF iPurifier2
@knownothing  Are you hearing any differences between cables?  
What's up with lousy bass on classic rock recordings?
It just so happens I was listening to Who's Next this week via Qobuz. I loved the balanced mix of the remaster. Keith Moon's drums killed. And there was enough separation to hear Entwistle's bass.  
What's up with lousy bass on classic rock recordings?
In original recordings the bass is balanced within the mix in most cases. I think those who don't hear enough bass have gotten used to today's remasters with their loud brickwalled low-end. There's lots of bass now but it lacks the detail and defi...
