Streamer Software
Some streamers include their own software while others don’t. Some will allow you to use software built for other manufacturers. Some users like free or cheap $10 software systems that retain a simple shareware interface. Others demand a fully dev... 
Phonostage recommendations under $3K
@lalitk The audition for the JC 3+ will be with a Linn LP12 (not sure of the specs) and a Rega Elicit-R. I am familiar with both so this should be a decent test to get an idea of the JC 3+. It might be a couple of weeks before I will be at the loc...

I am following this thread with interest.I am auditioning a used Parasound JC 3+ on Sunday. Might be a solid upgrade from a Rega Aria? 
App/Player for Bricasti DACs?
Hi,  I am the OP here.Just to be clear: I don’t own a Bricasti. I was curious about what software options there were for controlling a Bricasti. The feedback I received was that most UPNP players should work. In the end I purchased a used Linn Aku...

Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA?
Have you tried subscribing to Qobuz? 
Anyone with experience with Spendor D9's?

Aegir upgrade to Pass...maybe
I had a similar experience when upgrading to a Pass Labs XA30.8 from a Bryston power amp... 
spend on the streamer or on the DAC ?
FYI: the Linn Akurate DS and DSM units have been around a while. But the different iterations (0,1,2,3) have seen real updates. The current Akurate 3 with Katalyst technology is excellent. They are expensive. Another option is to buy a used older ... 
Rega Brio-R vs Elicit-R
Leemaze,I have two systems. I started upgrading one (moving away from SONOS streamers) which created a whole new journey down the rabbit hole of slowing upgrading everything. I landed up buying and later selling different things in a quest to get ...

How do I connect my Bricasti M21 DAC to my MAC Computer using the Network (Ethernet)
There is a piece of software called Konfig that you might need on your Mac? This is a just a settings/preferences/handshake pane. You can then add the Kazoo app to your iPad. I have not tried this as I don’t own a Bricasti. A dealer did say you ca... 
Rega Brio-R vs Elicit-R
Some Rega fans prefer the sound of the Elex-R over the Elicit-R.The Elex-R sells for around $1000 used and is an excellent amp for that price. I would also audition the two other more expensive Rega amps just to get an idea of the changes in sound... 
Linn Akubarik Exakt with AK EXT DSM
Good advice.This will depend on your location. If you are in the USA then track down your nearest Linn dealer.The Linn Akubarik system is excellent. It does come in different configurations depending on manufacture date and if it has the new Katal... 
How do I connect my Bricasti M21 DAC to my MAC Computer using the Network (Ethernet)
Well done!This stuff can drive you crazy.I don’t own a Bricasti but am thinking about the M3. AFAIK you can use the Linn Kazoo and Lumin apps on your iPad with your Bricasti. Both offer an elegant UI with Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify and TuneIn radio, et...
