| Using streaming as a main source ---DSD, FLAC, MQA Streamers and DACS Another POV: start off simple (with a 30-day return policy for each component) and see if it feels as though you need more. In my case, I’d had an older Bluesound Node and got on the waiting list for the newest one; so I received it quite a while... | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? I have a decent system that I’ve built (and rebuilt) over years and am happy with the sound.

We all have different hearing curves and qualities of attention (the latter can change at any given moment). We all have different... | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? Had to downsize my system (multiple reasons), and just snagged a mint Meridian DSW (sub) from the Audiogon market; nice price and a great addition to my smaller-speaker setup. Even without having specifically configured it into the system, it seam... |
