| Emotional rollercoaster Glad you like the sound of your system. If you like what you have, stay away from audio forums, trade mags, and audio shows. I have a half dozen systems in my house ranging from an Apple HomePod, to home theater, an office system, and a dedicated ... | |
| Minimonitors Before responding, you should have either heard or owned the speakers that you are recommending, not just have read reviews | |
| Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?... They could be if you can call the CEO every other day and if there are a few over the top positive reviews about them. | |
| I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery I hope your hearing is better than your eyesight, Porsche’s are anything but ugly | |

| How long is too long for interconnects? Long speaker cables are worse than long xlr cables. RCA also has restrictions for maximum length. XLR is the preferred way to hook up all equipment using long lengths and/or your equipment is balanced. Also, very short speaker cables aren’t good e... | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport Everybody on this thread uses usb which is flawed. If you get a quality network dac, there is no reason for a music server. All these music servers are computers with hacks to try improving usb. Sure, if you have to use usb, then go for it and kee... | |
| My list of seller red flags 12inch45rpm-sounds like you have done much buying and selling online. You think all the risk is on the buyer which is not true. The buyer can be just as corrupt as a seller and PayPal doesn’t help the seller. For example: I have had people try thi... | |

It wasn’t that great, it came across as a work in progress review.when was the last time you auditioned a Mac mini using Ethernet to a great dac? Probably never. Like I mentioned earli... | |

The only reason why somebody would do this IMO is because they are stuck using usb and they need to get the best performance possible out of a flawed interface. SSD for music, also overkill. Again, the only reason for using ssd... | |
| How far away from your speakers are you? I use the standard of 1/3 the length of the room to place the speakers from the front wall. My dedicated room is 21x15 and my speakers are 7’ out from the front wall. Then I used Jim Smiths recommendation of sitting 120% (+ or -) of the width of t... | |
| Tidal Error Message I’m not going to go into much detail but I can stream multiple tidal songs to different locations in the house concurrently, and I don’t have a family plan. So it is possible. | |
| Add an external DAC. Make my Oppo UDP-205 a true top player For less than $3000, get the ps audio DS jr dac, today it’s better than the other dacs (most of them that I have heard) and with the free upgrades, it will sound better after every update. If you can spring for $4000, get the os audio DS sr dac wh... |
