DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
@georgehifi,Thank You for the details. So R2R is preferred if you mostly use CD resolution. We will agree to differ on the fact that I love to upsample all my FLACs to DSD :-) But thatss besides the point.@verdantaudio,I was seriously eyeing the W... 
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
@verdantaudio,If a user purely does DSD playback in his system , which DAC in the $5k range would you recommend. I doubt the R2R would be helpful in such cases. But do correct me if I got that wrong. 
Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith
If you already have a Roon license, then why not go with a Intel fanless NUC? And add Fidelizer PRO. 
Fun With Cable Risers
I really like the Audioquest Fog Lifters in MY system. YMMV. 
Audioquest Fog Lifters
I recently purchased the AQ Fog Lifters and installed them in my system replacing the wood lifters I had. I really like what I am hearing. I also took time to separate each component wires and also took care of how they don't touch each other. Tha... 
Anybody else waiting for GaN and Purify to have a baby?
Based on @ricevs and @atmasphere discussion, I want to ask a stupid question:Between GAN and Purifi based amplifier - would there be a big difference in the quality of sound OR do they approach the same sound quality when designed properly? 
How long does Class A have?
@ebm 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 
Cullen Cable
I never had issues with Cullen Cables, every time I ordered their power cables. Did you email or call them to find out about the delay? 
Brilliant Video proving MQA is not what they claim.
I tried Qobuz last year. While the quality (musicality) was much better than Tidal, the selection was not as varied. While importing my playlist from Spotify to Qobuz and Tidal, I found that Qobuz was lacking the most titles. 
Brilliant Video proving MQA is not what they claim.
For some reason MQA did not feel right. But one thing that surprises me is how the Stereophile writers give so much importance to MQA. I wish they did that for SACD. Not that SACD or DSF/DFF files are dead. And why do we need MQA when bandwidth is... 
Bluetooth adapter..
Have you tried the Auris bluMe? I have one, but currently not using because I have started using a PC with the DAC. My Auris has the AKM DAC which I really liked.Auris recommends to power off the unit if it not being used.  
Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music?
Standard Boomer nonsense. @michaelsherry59 is nothing but a troll. Completely agreed. 
Spotify HiFi imminent?
@soix ,Like I said before, Tidal currently is way ahead of Spotify in terms of resolution -  no doubt about that. I had a trial of Qobuz and it definetely was better than Tidal. Unfortunately neither Tidal or Qobuz has the broad range of music I s... 
OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke?
I am not going to buy this stuff.But I find it ridiculous when people present their opinion even without experiencing the product. Of course they are entitled to their opinions - but they may not be valid. And to ridicule someone because they foun... 
Spotify HiFi imminent?
@soix ,I find that even with mp3 resolution, Spotify seems more musical than Tidal. Mind you, I said "musical", not "quality". Tidal has definitely more "air" and sounds open, hifi and nice punch. But to me it sounds sterile compared to Spotify. I...
