| Need recommendations for a streamer Sorry, I meant Auralic Aries G1, or more properly, now the G1.1 | |
| Need recommendations for a streamer Another vote for an Auralic Aries G2 here. Ticks all the OP requirements. Excellent quality, | |
| Looking for a preamp with XLR connections If your budget is 10k, reference preamp, no tubes, Xlr in/out, then Pass Labs XP22 would fit the bill | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? Something modest to start with, Chartwell LS3/5A's in the late 70's. Such performance out of tiny boxes! Then Magnepan, a lust for which had been unfulfilled until about five years ago, when I lashed out on a pair of MG3.7i's to replace some Ambie... | |
| Qobuz or Apple Music? @treynolds155 I am unaware of any method to stream 192/24 wirelessly from your Apple device into a DAC. Tether your iDevice or Mac to your DAC via USB for sure, but not possible without a wired connection. Happy to be corrected. | |

| Best progressive rock album side Brand X … an amalgam of a number of incredible musicians. Just as pretentious as anything else 🤣 | |
| Best progressive rock album side Just a correction to the first post … ‘In the Court of the Crimson King’ | |
| Is there a DAC ranking list? There are many DACs out there, ranking is almost impossible, we would never agree on criteria. In the dollar range suggested by the the OP, something like the RME ADI-2 DAC would be a contender, very well regarded. Brands like Schitt, Denafrips an... | |
| Best XLRs under $500 a pair Another vote for Mogami Gold here | |
