I installed the AppleTV-X in my system. I would ask that anyone looking for a visual and audio improvement to their home theater to check this out. If you never heard of it do the research.

Considering a Backert Rhythm 1.4, talk me out of it
I own a Backert Rhythm 1.4 . It is a perfect fit with my Lumin U1 streamer and Aqua Acoustics LaScala DAC. I believe that they have an audition period where you can listen to one in your home. Give Andy a call and give one a listen.

Help me pick a Dac
I have a Backert Labs Rhythm 1.4 . Before I purchased an Aqua Acoustics LaScala DAC I had a Bryston BDA-3 DAC. Look For one on the preowned market.   
Recommendations for good WiFi speakers
Soundcore Motion X600. Heard these while dining in a restaurant in Portugal. I was quite impressed by the sound quality. Great for a background music sound system.  
OCD mickey website and negativity.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Mike a while back. I found him to be very knowledgeable. He gave me some advice concerning cabling that helped me out.

Look for a Bryston BDA-3 on the preowned market. They come up for sale every now and then. Quality piece of equipment. Still on the Bryston website as their top DAC.   
One DAC to Rule it All

DAC upgrade
