Bob Carver Crismson 275 Stereo vs. Rogue Stereo 100
I can't speak about the Rogue, but I can tell you the Crimson 275 is a helluva amplifier. Punches way above its weight. 
Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service
I have found that even with the HD service, not all albums are lossless. There are still some MP3 quality recordings.Sound quality for the HD and Ultra HD tracks is very good. But the interface when using Bluos on a Node is far behind Tidal. 
Chinese DACs
devilboy,The Pagoda uses the PCM 1704 chip. My DAC, however, was heavily modified by the previous owner. Sounds fantastic.Oz 
Why does streaming need to be so complex
I bought a Node 2i and couldn't be happier. Using a MHDT Pagoda since it sounds better than the onboard dac, but it's no slouch.

Audioman,You have heard the x5? 
Computer for home audio
Why anyone uses a computer to stream music to a high end system today is a mystery. There are too many better available options now. 
Focal Spectral 40th
That’s a whole lot of “equalizing” going on in that review. Sounds like he has other problems to fix somewhere in the room, system, or both....... 
Spatial Audio X3 Open Baffle Loudspeakers
Caintuck Audio for the Betsy …. Yes, that is one example of an extremely cheap OB speaker. But not on a level with Clayton’s offerings.

You might want to post this in the Spatial forum on audio circle. 
Spatial Audio X3 Open Baffle Loudspeakers
BTW rodmann, the X3s is a  departure of sorts in that they don’t use a coincident driver, but an AMT high frequency driver and dedicated midrange driver. 
Spatial Audio X3 Open Baffle Loudspeakers
Let me assure anyone reading this thread that the X3s do very well with complicated music like large jazz ensembles, hard rock, and even metal. They are very even handed and don’t overwhelm with bass. I haven’t been able to trip them up with anyth... 
Amazon just killed Tidal
I use a Node 2i to stream from a 2 bay synology NAS and Tidal. No need for all that other nonsense. Oh, and ethernet will spoil you over the sound you get from wifi.Oz 
Amazon just killed Tidal
Now that there are so many streaming options, many of them inexpensive, would anyone use a damn computer for this task anymore? 
Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today
I have Geoffs springs under my TT. Highly recommended.Oz 
Chinese DACs
I have owned two MHDT DACs. The Havana and now the Pagoda. Just wonderful sounding gear in every way.Oz
