| Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else? You’re not alone. I think coming from a hobby where we value equipment that is the pinnacle of audio tech, it’s easy to see the connection with a Motorsport that is the pinnacle of auto technology. That is F1. In fact, F1 has almost always lacked ... | |
| Streaming for beginner Hey everyone. I’m the OP and wanted to let everyone know that after many months of research and thinking and reading every single reply here, I took the plunge and went with an Aurelic G2.1 and Cardas USB to my existing PS Audio DSD. Play Qobuz... | |
| Streaming for beginner Label, you’re right. I didn’t and should have. 80% of what I listen to is jazz, and a lot of that is female vocal jazz. The rest is classical and opera. | |
| Better digital front end for my DAC 2010 997s didn’t have the ims issues. I sold mine at an incredible value. I had people calling me night and day up bidding the price. And yet, I wish I hadn’t. My 993 was my favorite, but unfortunately never owned a 964. Gosh, I almost thought thi... | |
| Better digital front end for my DAC I just received my Aurelic Aries G2.1 feeding into my PS Audio DAC and I can honestly tell you that it sounds better than my sacd’s fed thru my PS Audio DMP player. I was skeptical to make the plunge into streaming audio, but I am pleasantly surp... | |
| Replacement of Cary CD player PS Audio DMP. Also plays SACD. It's a transport, so you can keep your DAC. You'll need to get a used one, as I believe PS Audio only sells a SACD only transport now. | |

| Streaming for beginner A big thanks to everyone who provided very good info here. I am learning a lot. I am finding here some very consistent answers re QoBuz, for example. So there are pieces of this puzzle that convinced me I should do. But one early post above sug... | |
| Streaming for beginner thank you, all. Now on to the execution stage... | |
| Streaming for beginner “It's certainly easier than setting up a decent turntable setup :-)”I would have never believed it. But it’s certainly true. | |
| Streaming for beginner Yes, I will be able to hardwire the network card directly via Ethernet. Tidal or QoBuz sounds like the overwhelming choice. Thank you all. Sounds like I’m on the right path. If I knew it was this easy I would have done this earlier. Not knowi... | |
| Streaming for beginner grm, thanks. Yes, the Bridge II network card does support MQA. Sounds like what I need is this card and Tidal and I’m all set. Even I can manage this. Oh, I forgot to mention, I do already have WiFi. Haha. | |
| Streaming for beginner Thanks, Melvinjames. How do you compare the quality and resolution of Tidal to cds? I have not yet purchased the network card. Following this discussion I plan to purchase it and whatever else I may need to make the plunge into streaming. | |

| REL G1 Subwoofer Problems I have banned my REL to eat chilies and any other bean products. Still...Oddiofyl, thanks. I am increasingly convinced that my REL and Krell simply don’t get along. I may forced the low level input route. |
