Network Acoustics Products?
i prefer the etherregen (and outboard clock) to handle the incoming ethernet feed personally, it is what i settled on after trying the eno and muon... it is more boxes and power supplies and so on, but to my ear the sound is purer   Placing a...

Knockoffs- how can they just advertise so easily?
Do you mean the actual physical product? Or looking at pictures of them. I just quickly looked up Transparent FAQ, and this is what is says: Where are your products made? Transparent cables and power products are designed, developed, and di...

Suggested Power Cable for Streamer

Suggested Power Cable for Streamer

Best power cord for Audioquest Niagara 1200

DAC vs Music Server
@mgrif104  Agreed, squeeze sounds much better than Roon on Antipodes as well. It is nice to have both, and it is so easy to switch back and forth. You have other choices too: Roon server/Squeeze player, HQ player, Roon server HQ Player, MPD with...
