Roon I-Pad App
You must own something newer than an iPad3.  
What is the best way to add subs in my system?
+1 Rythmik subs, with a DEQX. Two subs are best. The DEQX is the only way I have successfully crossover subs. This also lightens the load on you primary amps. 
The Hifi Trajectory Of Class D Amplifiers
I disagree with the premise that class d has not yet arrived. 
With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you
Joseph Audio Perspectives, two Rythmik subs and a DEQX preMate. 
What direction with new DAC?
Bel Canto DAC2.7. 
New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE

Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2
+1 on the BeCanto REF600M. 
SUB-WOOFER RECOMMENDS
I have a Marantz SR5009 and operate it at 70-80 all the time. Why do you think the volume control on the Yamaha is comparable? 
New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE
Bill k,There are too many confounding factors to compare the new REF600Ms against other amps. I replaced my dac at the same time I installed the amps: Bel Canto DAC2.7. I have owned VTL, Cary, Nuforce, Marantz Reference Series MA-9S1, and others. ... 
New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE
With only two days of break in, I can tell these amps are something special. They are very rich, detailed and musical. The treble is fabulous. May be best of show at RMAF. 
Speakers closest to Merlin ?
Joseph Audio. 
Joseph Audio Pulsars v. Focal Diablo Utopia's
I owned the prior Focal Utopia be model and now own the Pulsars. Both are excellent speakers. I doubt I will part with the Pulsars anytime soon. 
Spotify Premium vs Tidal ... opinions?
I do not know any audiophiles who listen to MP3. If you're listening to MP3s, I think we have found the weak link in your system. I love tidal: CD Quality streaming. This should obsolete most music servers. 
Anyone love TIDAL lossless streaming like I do?
tidal should make music servers obsolete. 
Subwoofer recommendation for jazz and rock
DEQX is the only way I have found to integrate subwoofers into a system. I also think you need dual subwoofers to do this correctly.
