Wow what a thread!  Very entertaining.  I do like to envision the age, race, and sex of all of the people writing these posts.  I feel it would be dominated by white men in their 50's sitting in front of their Sonus Fabers with a laptop :-)That's ... 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
My mother in law has Krell & Wilson!  Imagine the look on my face when I first walked into her living room.  I knew we would get along quite well, and we do!  I am not sure if my hi-fi gear turned on my wife, but she is certainly understanding...

thanks!  Will Roon allow me to send the music through the network to the PS Audio bridge via ethernet cable? 
streamer for PWD DAC mkII - tired of a computer and complicated connectivity!
Arafiq, I am in total agreement about the lack of info. I have been scouring the manufacturer's websites to find streaming products and I am finding very few that look like attractive options at any price. It seems this section of the industry is ...
