My "List" is totally open - I just mentioned three that I was somewhat familiar with at this time.    
Speaker Pairing - First Watt F8
@decooney - thanks for the article link on the Razz.  I have communicated with Gregg at Volti and he has been helpful.  Since I am in the southeast, I plan on making a roadtrip to TN to hear his speakers in the next 6 months.    
Speaker Pairing - First Watt F8
@carlsbad2  .... I don't have an issue with a bit of drama or you being oldschool :) As I mentioned my speakers sound pretty good with the music I am listening to now and if 3 or 4 way speakers open up the soundstage with my set up, I will certai... 
Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Great thread ....  I was looking at the LTA web site and it appears you are able to preorder their Aero DAC for February delivery.  I can't wait to hear the reviews early next year on this DAC from fellow forum members.    
Streamer question
@jzzmusician  I was in a similar position using my BluSound node to stream to a DAC - in my case it was a Schitt Yggdrasil LIM.  I did upgrade the BS node with a LPSU and Sbooster power supply and it made a noticeable difference in the sound quali... 
Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing

Best of luck Joe and good for you in doing your research.  @dz13 - I recently posted my initial impressions on a thread I had started back in early fall prior to selecting the N200.  The net is that the early listening through the Aurrender has be... 
Zu audio
A bit late to the game here and a Zu Dirty Weekend Supreme owner.  Have these paired with a First Watt F8 and Modwright LS100 preamp.  I listen to quite a bit of jazz and female jazz vocalists.  I enjoy the sound characteristics they bring to the ... 
Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please!
I am really enjoying the N200.  A vast improvement in the sound quality overall.  As noted by @doodlebum I am not hearing any coloration in the music.  I am not having any connectivity issues with my iPad to the Aurrender.  I did make sure I was r...

Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing
Check out my recent thread on 10/18 titled - Streamer Selection-Thoughts Requested (64 responses) I too have/had a BS node and also a Yggdrassil LIM DAC. Net is you have quite a few choices dependent on your budget. I narrowed it down to Innuos an... 
Experience with Modwright products?
Will add in to this virtual parade of quality things to say about Modwright and Dan as both the owner and chief spokesperson.  I currently own the LS100 preamp and the PH 9.0.  I have talked with Dan a good half dozen times in the past 2 years and... 
The latest audiophile streamer craze
This made me smile so it was worth it.  Two comments - 1. Source - Readers Digest 😉  Where can I subscribe to their download of the month club? 2.  Was out of aluminum foil so tried this with wax paper and it worked.  However it may have been th...
