Back to the DAC
@helomech Thanks, I have heard great thing about the DMP-A8, but I'd like to stick with separates for now. Although one day, I could see myself going with an active pair of speakers...only! lol

@soix Better presentation of musical overtones, amplitude, pitch, timbre, texture with a wider/deeper soundstage (if this is possible) than I have with my existing DAC. Under $10K, used is OK. Martin Logan speakers used to be a lot brighter in th...

@tvad excellent advice, much appreciated!

@ghdprentice the Mola Mola has streaming capabilities as well, so is in that all-in-one category.  @tvad point well taking, but tough to demo if you're buying used, which maybe be my case, depending on the price!

@koestner Thanks, which of these have you heard, and which did you prefer? I wonder what might better my Gustard R26 DAC I currently have? The new flavor of the month seems to be the Laiv Harmony DAC: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.co... 
Streamer/DAC combinations
@audphile1 thanks. Like @davegolf2424 here, I too am still on the hunt (at least for the DAC part of things). Whilst at the same time, slowly getting around to upgrading all those darn cables!

@audphile1 I stuck with the Audio Envy 2’ power cord for the amp because I got both male and female male, in the 90° figuration. That will allow me to get the amp close-up to the wall. I looked at the Audience Forte F3 and there are a great price...

@audphile1 Another AG member recommendation. I’m backing off the DIY so I liked the fact that they offer 90 degree ends. I need 4 power cords, amp, pre-amp, Aurender and DAC. I haven’t ordered them yet, so still open to suggestions. They were jus...

@audphile1 Not using ROON any longer so I'm using both the Aurender app with some music on the internal hard drives.  I also have my Tidal HiFi account linked up to it. Cables right now are both a DH Labs USB & coaxial. They both sound about t...

@audio_is_subjective 👍

  OK, I will order the balance of my cables tomorrow. Thanks for the clarification. I just noticed a lot more base with the new cables at this point. We’ll see how further changes influence that. It’s kinda like going from the renderer in the R26...
