Can you hear or tell difference?
I am a little surprised there is so difference with the chromecast.  
Crown XLS 1502.... real life test.
I have a xls1500 the earlier model. Little dry to my ear but nothing offensive and well balanced on it's own. With a tube preamp I tthink it sounds very good indeed. Currently its powering a old Paradigm servo 15 sub that I blew the amp up on. Doe... 
Suggestions for $2k budget
Usaudiomart has an Emerald Physics EP 4.8 for $2500. Never heard them but this seems like a helluvadeal. Seems very good reviews all around. I was tempted to jump in them. Used Tekton Double Impact is a can't go wrong option as well IMO.  
Fritz Carrera BE review link!
Ure not a very good anything.  
Non Analytical Sounding DAC Upgrade- Budget $1,500 or less
+1 on the Black Ice (Jolida) Tube Dac. Very musical.  
Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear.
Hey Teajay,Want to answer my question that I and others have asked several times publically about the Tekton Ulf (the speaker you own that you raved about) vs the NSMT you reviewed. Seemed like it would be an OBVIOUS comparison in the review and n... 
Lyngdorf TDAI-2170, always comes with Room Perfect or is it an add on ?
Always with Room Perfect. There are some board add on boards hdmi, quality analog, and usb.  
REF reference model 3

REF reference model 3
10 bucks

Buy used Tekton  Double Impacts. You Will Not do better for the price and much higher especially for the music you listen to.  
Opinions on the current market
People are scared to buy now and for good reason. If you are comfortable buying I'm sure you can get a great deal if you look around.  
Opinions on the current market
I would say yes...... IF you are good buyer it's probably a better market than usual.  
Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 vs 3400
I know you said it was not an a/b comparison with the 2 units but was it on the same speakers in the same room at different times? What speakers are you using? Thanks 
Decent preamp
Jolida fusion tube preamp. Really nice and musical. If I had to describe the sound in a word it would be juicy.  
Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 vs 3400
From what I hear the sound quality between the 2 is not much different. Anything over 90db I would say the 2170 is plenty. I've used some inefficient Dynaudio Contour 20s and it could have used some more horsepower. I also find the 2170 looks much...
