Happy Audiophile Day!
Enjoyed all the funny comments and absolutely no offense taken by anyone. Just as a reminder - this day is to recognize this great hobby and the folks who are into it, by rest of the world. I would say, make others aware. On that note, I do have... 
Happy Audiophile Day!
While we are celebrating diseases how about happy pneumonia day? Well, people have their preferences and look at hobbies different ways. I treat audiophilia as a cure and not disease. But hey, to each his own. You do have a pneumonia day! Just...

T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501
@blisshifi  Thank You for the details on the sound comparison. It is very helpful. I will reach out to you at some point.  
Spotify's HiFi tier could finally be about to launch
Server space - FLACs probably take more space than the currently compressed files. That was the reasoning. The reasoning behind royalties - Spotify has been having licensing issues with the content providers, which was part of their claim for del... 
New Class D amplifiers
Yep, I just commented on @vsrrr system. He replaced a tube amp and First Watt amps with Atmasphere Class D. And again, this is GaN based and not Purifi/Hypex or other Class D. While this is NOT a true representation, since we do not know what maj... 
Spotify's HiFi tier could finally be about to launch
The competition from Apple Music and Amazon messed them up. But like @loomisjohnson mentioned - none of the other providers can match their interface OR Connect. IF AM and Amazon were purely streaming based, then they could not afford what Spotify... 
New Class D amplifiers
@jeffrey125 , It looks like my question is confusing you. Did I ask about configuration? I don’t care about that. I was hoping owners to chime in, on which type (solid state OR tube) of amp they replaced with Class D. But good to know that you re... 
New Class D amplifiers
@jeffrey125  Just to clarify - question was about amplifiers, not preamplifiers.  
New Class D amplifiers
Just out of curiosity - anyone here compare between Purifi Vs Nilai Vs GaNFet? I think most posters who have been happy with Class D amps previously owned Solid state amps. Very very few replaced tubes with Class D. Is that right?  
T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501
I had the Rockna Wavelight and the Hugo TT2 on my radar. But found out that both convert DSD to PCM internally. So looking at other options now. Thanks for sharing your experience. Will be keen on hearing more from you - this is an interesting DAC... 
T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501
@ljgm , Congratulations on the T+A. Good to know that you really dig the new DAC. But please do let us know what your previous DAC was. What are your listening preferences - as in laid back or forward presentation, genre of music, etc. Will be g... 
Backert Labs Rhumba preamp
My bad, the level I have set on “variable” output is 80 and not 90.  
Backert Labs Rhumba preamp
Bringing this thread to life to find out from current Backert Rhumba users on what is the volume position on the dial that they generally use for listening? My story is that I used to use it 90% of the time between 9 and 9:30 position and it soun... 
Recommend me a DAC under 3k
Would a Okto DAC 8 stereo fit your needs, if you can pick up a Pi 4 Model B on the flee-Bay?
