| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO I agree the streamer/server does make a difference. I have been thinking about upgrading an older but still very functional and good-sounding Antipodes DX3 server that I use to run Roon/Tidal and store/play a small/moderate sized CD collection. ... | |

| What is the average life expectancy of a DAC? I have two new DACs on order, one is a new 2021 model and the other is over 25 years old (and being upgraded by the original manufacturer).....go figure.Things continue to change moderately to rapidly in the digital arena so the question of life e... | |
