Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts?
I’ve owned three of the dacs on the list. pagoda with mods Lampizator level 4 Gen 5(not the same but close) And now the Pontus II My take is that the Pontus easily beats the Lampi with an easier flow to the music, where the Lampi seemed forced...

@sbank  Good post Spencer  
Why I sold my Magnepan .7's
@mozartfan  You are delusional with some of your “beliefs”….  
looking to upgrade - identify the weakest link?
If you are digital only, that dacmagic is your bottleneck. Look at some of the Denafrips products. But I also like the suggestion to buy a ‘table. Oz  
Lumin U1 Mini - how to set up Network *without* Ethernet cables?
Do yourself a favor and run Ethernet to your Lumin. My router is upstairs and at the other end of the house, but I made it work. This is truly your best option. BTW, don’t plan on using your phone for the Lumin app. It really needs to be on a tab...

Best place to purchase a new Denafrips Pontus II
Mine arrived at the distribution facility, 40 miles from my home, at 4:06 am this morning. I can't believe they couldn't get it on the delivery truck for today. Says Friday is the date. F&*kin Fedex........   Oz

Best place to purchase a new Denafrips Pontus II
I have a Lumin U1 mini. I have a myriad of cables to try, balanced, coax, BNC and USB. If the Pontus ends up being a keeper, I may invest in the Iris and go I2S. Oz
