| McCormack DNA 0.5 vs. DNA 2.0 Deluxe I will support and add to what you heard from @soix . There are other reasons not to move forward with the DNA-2. I have considerable experience with McCormack/SMc Audio having first owned a DNA-2 years ago, then the DNA-500, and currently a pai... | |
| My New Year’s Wish for my fellow audiophiles. Wonderful message - thank you @2psyop! I try and remember to be thankful and happy each day I am here doing the things I love to do with the friends and family I love to do them with. | |
| Streaming DAC recommendation My recent experience echos those here who recommend separating server, streamer, and DAC. I actually moved my server to a separate room with my modem and router, and their own dedicated power line, leaving my streamer and DAC in the room with my ... | |

| Streaming DAC recommendation Mola Mola Tambaqui is a one-box solution, as is the Grimm MU2, but I agree that you may ultimately appreciate a two-box solution for the future flexibility it allows. | |
| Simple device for downsampling? @brbrock - I will let you know which I like better when I decide to put one of them back in its box. I did sell the Tambaqui but still have the Mystique EVO Pro and the SMc DAC-2 set up in my main system. They each have strengths and regardless ... | |
| I'm at a digital loss or getting over UI mountain Good points by members here about Roon, which seems to take occasional hits related to sound quality but most find it acceptable especially given the access to informative write-ups about artists, the many music choices available through Roon's ad... | |

| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions Any of you directly compared the Innuos Pulsar with the Sonore Signature Rendu SE Optical? Impressions? | |
| Why "bookshelf" sspeakers? You will pay a lot of money for that bottom octave done right with a pair of large floorstanders. It is easier, and typically less noticed, for designers to cut corners with how the lowest frequencies are handled (i.e., driver size and quality, c... | |
| Besides the BBB how do you fight claim resolution against FedEx Shipping large, heavy, sensitive items is problematic, and expensive, at best. As a seller, I do everything I can think of to minimize my risk of shipping damage, which takes time and costs money, so I eventually became more conservative wrt buyi... | |
| Why "bookshelf" sspeakers? My “bookshelf” speakers are made by Aerial also, but they weigh 105 pounds each and have dual 9- inch woofers in a sealed box. Sitting on 70-pound Sound Anchor stands and paired with two Aerial SW-12 subs, the system offers flexibility of placemen... | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions Thank you @grannyring for your feedback on the SQ of the Pulsar, the responsive support of Innuos, and your preference for the Sense app over Roon. I will have a hard time giving up the artist write-ups on Roon but for better SQ, maybe. The SQ o... | |
