Subwoofer Advice
@big_greg the wireless option sounds great, do you think is a good way to go, is wireless going to be accurate match with the rest of the system? Hardwired, at least for most audio products, seem to be the preferred set-up.  
Subwoofer Advice
@soix Thanks for the suggestion, you have always been an advocate for the SB1000s. They seem to be a great deal. @russ69 are you saying move on from the MLs and hook up with some Infinity RS1B towers or Tektons? @dmaddox77 Yes, I heard something... 
Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
You can always take a nice ferry ride (or drive around) to Silverdale and see Jim & Aubry at Nuts About HiFi https://www.nutsabouthifi.com/manufacturers/ (big on Focal) or Kitsap Audio and see Derek or Victor https://silvercityhifi.com/pages/o...

@axeis1 I would have liked to tried a Dave, just never happened, but they come highly recommended.

I did try the filters, but I really couldn’t hear that big of a difference. I really think that my hearing is not so great anymore. I have to crack my jaw a lot these days to pop my right ear, if that makes sense. When I get some more serous time ...

As previously mentioned, I am not all that well versed in describe musical attributes. It either sounds bad, better or good, but let me state it this way, I thought it a little "edgy" or a little more digital sounding on its own. Maybe I will try ...

@mclinnguy @tvad Oddly enough, so far, I have found that using the Coda pre-amp produced a better sound than that of the Bricasti.

@audphile1 Yup, and it is starting to sound better over time and I will heed your advice, thank you. @jmeyers +78 👍 @ghdprentice thanks on behalf of @jmeyers!

@upstateaudiophile I have run into this before. I thought a CD played via a CD player sounded slightly better as streaming music via the LAN connection on my Gustard R26. I haven't played a CD and compared it to the Aurender N200 and Briscati M1 S...

@tvad thanks for your kind words and advice. I will try the M1 network’s card, for sure. I will also try using the unit as a pre-amp and possibly free up another component as well. It is definitely a quality piece of equipment. Have a great weeke...

I hooked up the M1 Series II yesterday and did some A/B'ing with my Gustard R26. Does the M1 sound over 6 times the cost of the R26, no, but it does sound better. I am not well versed in technical terms of audio but the musical instruments sound m...

@mikhailark @larryi OK, thanks, I am riding the WAV!

@audioisnobiggie The N200 sounds fine. Thanks for your thoughts on WAV over FLAC. I am re-ripping my CD library in WAV files and using dBpoweramp to do so. I ordered the inexpensive DSD sampler from Native DSD and give it a try.

OK, of course, I will try, thank you!

@tvad Do you think the Bricasti (LAN) could out do the Aurender N200 in the streaming department? As far as that goes, how about as a pre-amp. maybe I could use it in place of the Coda CB? @klh007 That’s good news. I think? @rsf507 Thanks for th...
