Car streaming blues, ain’t marketing great
There is one exception. The symphony channel on Sirius is much less compressed and doesn’t sound too bad.    
Car streaming blues, ain’t marketing great
To some degree, it’s a matter of taste. One persons great car stereo doesn’t sound so great to another. It has been my experience that I’ve heard some systems that we’re reputed to be wonderful and not like them. Reversed isn’t quite as true, but ... 
Car streaming blues, ain’t marketing great
Try downloaded tracks from a streaming service playing from your phone to either a digital USB input, which would be best, or simply an auxiliary input mini jack. If you have to use the jack, look for a dongle the DAC between your phone and your c... 
Kef 104/2 Replacements
I started with similar vintage KEFs and upgraded to Atc, and the sound is indeed a bit different, but preferable to my ears. I wasn’t unhappy with the KEFs until I heard the new speakers.    
Question about sound stage
Earwax in one of my ears skewed things for me once, believe it or not. I think it’s worth looking into your hearing as well as all the rest. That’s my two cents.    
Musical Fidelity A220 integrated amp
I’m sorry. That’s what I meant. When it is on but no signal is being sent through it, mine drives 36 W. It’s a 150 W amp, so I’m imagining that yours draws less. At one point, I did the math and decided not to worry about the small addition to my ... 
Musical Fidelity A220 integrated amp
I have a 12 year old musical fidelity integrated amp which I leave on all the time. It draws 36 watts on standby. My understanding is that the capacitors, which Are most likely to fail, are stressed the most from being turned off and on as opposed... 
Sound System on $10K Budget
I’d get a used active ATCSCM 40 set of speakers and add a DAC/preamp combo.

Soft dome= ATC? I love mine.

Of course you want to listen to everything you can. Loki is an inexpensive, noiseless equalizer from Schiit. If you already have passable speakers, you might try that first before investing a lot of money in a more radical solution. Another way to... 
Matching streamer/DAC combination to SQ of my system.
Oh, and I already got a Loki and I am using it to equalize and change the sound a bit to suit my room.  
Matching streamer/DAC combination to SQ of my system.
Djones: I am using an audio engine D2, which is a combination DAC and Wi-Fi sender/receiver. It’s supposed to deal with computer noise and such, and it got very good reviews, at least in its price range, but I have very little frame of reference ... 
Matching streamer/DAC combination to SQ of my system.
Thank you.  
Matching streamer/DAC combination to SQ of my system.
I've never heard of that DAC. I'll do some research. I was guessing that the 2 to 3.5 K range might be appropriate.  
Auralic Altair G1 for ATC, MF integrated system?
Thanks, d or t.  How is the Lumin app?
