Playing DSD files
In short, Audirvana seems up to the task, while Foobar doesn't I am able to get pure DSD out of the Foobar. So I feel it is a user setup issue and not software issue. What is the Output "device" that you have selected? It should be the ASIO+DSD... 
Playing DSD files

Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite?
You seem to have read Stereophile’s recent review of the Ayer amplifier. Did you purchase it @cundare2 ?  
How easily can you distinguish between different DACs?
but long-term listening in a relaxed (not analytical) state is the real tell for me. This statement nails it. I have often noticed that a quick switch between streaming services tells you very little to nothing. But if you relax and "take it in... 
At what price is one considered an Audiophile.

Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like?

Audiophile Optimizer / Fidelizer
+1 @jheppe815  I use the paid version of Fidelizer on my Windows 11 PRO music server. Works very well and I am happy with the results.  
Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature
Your speaker coils need the 20-30 minute warm up more than the tube amp or pre amp......According to Steve Deckert   Very interesting. Never heard of that before. And I am not saying this with any sarcasm.

@arafiq , Yeah, right? I will be changing to the Wilsons to the Kharma Grands on a whim, next week. Please stop by for a listen.....LOL!!  
anyone else getting phishing popups ?
I think I know what you are talking about, but I may be totally off, because this is what I see when browsing Audiogon. The pop-ups you are seeing is advertising. Phishing is generally referred when the site asks you for your Personal details, ban...

Create "Virtual System" has not worked in months (Error = User can’t be blank). In my third system I own the following gear, which I know most people would be jealous about: Gryphon APEX Monos CH  Precision L1 dual Line Stage dCS Vivaldi APE...

@deep_333 , Thats some impressive gear you have there. Would definitely like to see your setup, especially those Gryphon amps. You should post your system here - so we can drool 😆
