How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff?
I call listening homework. If I hear you playing something that I like, i'll ask you about it and add it to my homework list. Sometimes I go by album or whole catalog. If I hear on a TV show, movie, I do the same. Shazam is great for that. These f... 
Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs?
I am very album oriented and don't mess much with playlists. I love streaming and being able to call up almost any album, but when not available on Spotify or Qobuz, i'll pick it up on vinyl or CD.   
Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?
I have come to fix this situation! A Charlie Brown Christmas - Vince Guaraldi Your Mother Should Know - Brad Mehldau You Must Believe in Spring - Bill Evans Happy listening.  
Looking for a full featured tube preamp similar to McIntosh C22

Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?
I get the same red line error as people discuss above. In addition, I am unable to view any systems. I get an error 5oo page.

Nothing wrong with having options and a small collection of records and CDs in my opinion. Thanks for responding.  
What is the highest quality digital music file? Where can I get it?
I plan on buying a few CDs to test quality. It's good to hear opinions of streaming quality vs other formats being new to it. Also to hear what gear pairs nicely.   
What is the highest quality digital music file? Where can I get it?
Thank you both for the feedback. The Node is a recent upgrade from an Andover Songbird and I am still using the Node's DAC although looking at upgrade options. I'm just getting back into 2 channel home audio after a 20 year break. Lots of new tec... 
Can I connect multiple sources to an external DAC
Exactly, sound improvement and normalization if I can call it that. I'd like both sources to have the same quality. From all the comments, it seems like there are many options for external DACs that can switch between sources.   
Can I connect multiple sources to an external DAC
Thank you all. Time for some more research and hopefully some auditioning.
