Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz.
A good way to start is smooth jazz guitar.  (Just pick any album from the artists below)Marcus Miller......will test your bass resolution.Dominic MillerChuck LoebAnd for vocals- Susan Wong 
Where’s My Weakest Link?
Mine was my room. After adding 12 Large bass traps, a few home made absorption panels and tweaking the subs the room is now much better. The end result is a completely different sound. Have to admit I was skeptical at first but I was stunned by th... 
DAC question, help!
The 8006 has digital outputs so you can use those to allow your amp do the conversion or you can use the analogue out to your amp and let the 8006 handle the conversion.  Having 2 choices allows you to compare the two with different genres of musi...

audite84, I forgot to mention the wonderful Blue Coast Records collection on Qobuz. They are 192/24 and the recording quality is excellent. Search "Blue Coast Collections" and you can start hunting the rest down. They say Audiophile Edition at the...

A newbie journey
Well done. I was told by a much wiser man than I...it is better to want what you have than to have what you want. You clearly want what you have and are reaping the benefits!   
When Did Your System Disappear?
I am still getting there. Recently by making and adding room treatments the improvement has not been subtle.  Thank you for your post because power conditioning is next up on my list and being tight on budget is making this a challenge.  
How far away from your speakers are you?

A song of hope that I wrote.
Privileged to see. Thank you.  
Odyssey kismet - emotiva xpa1 1000w ?
Klaus is known for putting high capacitance in his amps. I think your Kismets have 180,000 AuF  & deliver >70a current. The Kismets come with the Ultra Fast Sympionic Line caps.  He also does not use a SMPS like  the Emotiva. I ran into the... 
Add an external DAC. Make my Oppo UDP-205 a true top player
The must haves for me were a linear power supply, ultra low noise JFET at the input stage, Balanced & SE outputs and it needed to function as a reference quality preamp with precise volume attenuation (ladder) and a remote.  Most good stand al... 
A queston of Classe', or other amps
I am interested in your solution. Currently using 1.7s and will be upgrading to the 3.7i this coming fall. Have been speaking with a salesperson from Sanders regarding their amplifier because I also do not want a space heater.  Unfortunately I can... 
Subwoofers driving me nuts
Miller, thanks for the idea.  I've been struggling to get my two subs correct and I moved one  down the side wall almost to my position, adjusted the delay and when I adjusted phase on the odd one to 120 degree to account for distance it just clic...
