Suggestions for a top flight streamer/Dac around the $2000 mark?
I lean more of the side of the DAC making all the difference, and the streamer is more of what user interface you prefer. Use whatever cable looks and feels best too, that is always my preference! :) If you believe that why wouldn't you just us...

Apparently these are new speakers......... 
Sbooster LPS for Lumin U1 mini?
Bumping this up for any other opinions on an LPS for a streamer. Doesn't have to be the one I own. Anybody have experience with any of them?Oz 
Streamer opinion.. Pease comment on validity.
Since my name was mentioned I will say that I did NOT test the servers blindly. I did some quick A/B comparisons on some familiar tracks. But in the end it was long term listening for pleasure that best bore out the differences. Same as it should ... 
Tekton vs. Salk Sound?
FOCALS ARE SHRILLY CRAP COMPARED TO SALK !  Spoken (shouted) by someone I'm sure has never heard the new Focals.You should get out more and post less........ 
Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System
All of these posts are making my point. I never said the OP's system couldn't sound good with movies and music. I'm sure it does. All I said is that when you combine the two, there are compromises to be made. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusio... 
Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System
HT experts will tell you that you need to have the left/right speakers set up so that the image is continuous when panned across the stage - to the center speaker - and to the other speaker. Which means they will be flanking the screen somewhat ti... 
Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System
Well there's this.Let's not even consider the electronics, which is also a factor.But if you position your speakers so that they are optimized for two channel listening, they will NOT be optimized for HT. Now as long as you know that one or the ot...

2020 FLORIDA AUDIO EXPO WHICH ROOMS would YOU VISIT?
Anyone who attends should visit room 605 and check out Clayton's new M3 Sapphires.Oz 
Streamer opinion.. Pease comment on validity.
Maybe a couple of real world a/b’s betweenStreamers hooked to the same DAC? Yeah I just did this. Compared a Node 2i to a Lumin U1 mini. As good as the node is, the Lumin is better. More transparent and natural to my ears. I know it's 4 times a... 
Basic Tidal streamer to USB DAC
I don't get streamers. I re-clock the usb data coming out of the pc. I use Tidal's player into an NOS dac, done. Two reasons.1) They sound better2) It gets a computer out of the signal chain. 
Signal break up on 7 month old Bluesound Node 2i
Your best investment would be to separate home theater from 2 channel. Far better than worrying about DACs, Tidal, etc.......Oz 
Moving up from a Node 2i
Just to be clear. If the improvement I heard out of the box was all there was,I wouldn't have spent the $$ either. That said, after some hours on the Lumin the improvement was great enough to justify the expense. If I only had 500.00 to spend on a...
