Thanks Doug 
Tru-Lift tonearm lifter for Technics
Doug,I reached out to Carlo a few months ago and received an email yesterday regarding the TT lift.  It included a movie showing it on a the 1200G.  I have a KAB damper on my stock arm. With it, I don't see enough clearance to place the TT lift.W... 
Need DAC/Streaming Advice
Roon is a great app.  I switched from Logitech Media Server (LMS) a few months ago and haven't looked back.If you plan to use Roon DSP, you will need a fairly robust computer or device to run Roon core.  DSP use is not mandatory.  I think it makes... 
Qubuz feedback and membership Plan Suggestions
I signed up for the Beta Qobuz Studio Plan and I have Tidal.  I'm 71, my music preferences generally span songs between 1950 and 1990.   I listen primarily to old school R&B/soul and contemporary jazz.  I also like some blues and soft rock. ... 
Best solution to send digital files to my DAC
+1 on the Innuos Zen MK3.For about 15 years, I used a Netgear ReadyNAS and Logitech Media Server for playing music files and streaming.  That solution worked well for me.  A couple of years ago, I migrated to a Synology NAS and stayed with LMS.  T... 
Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS?
@itsjustme.  Regarding jitter, I found this article on Audio Myths on the PS Audio site quite interesting:  https://www.psaudio.com/article/audio-myths/ Digital audio has a unique type of timing deviation called jitter, but with all modern sound c... 
Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS?
“Best” depends on your equipment, wants, and needs.For my setup, LMS was best for my whole house stereo needs because I had a mix of Squeezebox and AirPlay end points.  I switched to Roon because of its DSP and music management capabilities, and I...

Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS?
@kumakahn.   But, do I have to have the Cambridge or some other device to just play the digital music from the NAS to start? Once you store files on your NAS, you can play them using JRiver, iTunes, Logitech Media Server, and if your NAS is powe...

Streamer/DAC combo or stand alone DAC with Node2?
@mgrif104  Node 2 going into an NAD Masters M12 Pre/DAC Just curious. Why did you buy a Node 2 as opposed to using a BluOS MDC with the M12? 
Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS?
As I noted in an earlier post: I was under the impression that jitter was handled by “modern” DACs or by using an external master clock.I'm really trying to understand "jitter" and it's impact on streamed music.  I use the following components fo... 
Linear Power Supplies with multiple power modules
I use a  HD Plex 200 watt LPS to power a sonicTransporter, Mytek Liberty DAC, and Ethernet switch - with one plug to spare.It is built like a tank, and works very well. 
Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS?
@ kumakahn.  Again, thank you. Many ways to get there. I didn’t know about the Zen Mini. I like the specs for it. It seems to match the RC-1590 better than the Vault II. The Zen Mini can handle DSD, as does the RC-1590. Have you made a bu...
