| Poor Fritz If you are going to be playing in the game, you need to be sober...hate to steal your money! | |
| Better digital front end for my DAC I agree with @jjss49...bluesound node 2i clean simple to install, go coax. Also 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S...funny...high end stereo, high end cars...we like quality for the money! | |

TO everyone else, will post results later in terms of ease of use, set up (I am a true digital neophyte - and I am in t... | |
| How to connect Tidal to DAC wireless via iPad @surfmuz, your point is well taken on Audio Mirror troubadour se III not being able to support MQA. But I still play cd's as well with 70% LP'S 15% CD and 15% Tidal...so the extra $2-3k for a top notch streamer is just not in the budget this year... | |

Make sense to everyone? For... | |
| How to connect Tidal to DAC wireless via iPad Thank you everyone for updating me on what is possible. Looks like I will research buying something that connects direct via cat 5 cable ( I assume that I can use a splitter) to the streaming device and then go directly from my DAC via USB ? (My c... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Long list of great selections. I too have similar size room also having to appease the wife as my system is in living room. Would LOVE to do sound treatments but alas...no go. So running a Cary audio sl80 f1 signature NOS tubes with Audio Mirror t... | |
