HiDef streaming troubles
Are you by any chance Bluetooth-ing from the phone Qobuz app to the Brooklyn Bridge? If you don’t have Roon you would at the least need a control app like the MConnect on your phone. This is for the for the Bridge to talk to Qobuz, which then gets... 
Do I need a new DAC/streamer. Considering?
I bought a Lumin T2 a couple of weeks ago and use its DAC as opposed to the Mac C2600. In your case, the C53 supposedly has a much better DAC and upgradable in the future, so I would recommend to just get the Lumin U1 Mini streamer which will be a... 
SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass?
The OP perhaps has moved on from this thread but in case it helps anybody else. I bought these feet last week and it helped a great deal with my second floor home theatre rattle. Same observation as dtximages above.  
Mcintosh C2500/C2600, Audio Research Reference 3 and Luxman CL-38uV
If you are using just for vinyl either one of the C2500/2600 are good. I have a C2600 and am very happy with it. I use an external DAC for digital sources but for analog the mac is pretty good. Have my Clearaudio Concept going to it and couldn't b... 
Turntable Power Cord Upgrade
A few years ago I had to swap out the original lamp wire power cord on my Thorens TD160 because it had a small cut. Bought a fancy power cable, cut one end off and soldered the wire to the TT. Sounded ditto to the original. Unless its a hazard I p... 
Best way to connect Mytek Brooklyn Bridge to Hegel H390?
What you see at the back are digital inputs to the Streamer/DAC. The outputs are just the XLR/RCA outs.  
Streamer wanted
+1 on the Lumin U1 mini.  
Roon ready streamer and DAC convo
The Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or their newer Empire series also meets your needs. 
I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what?
When I was building panels for my room, I had contacted GIK and they suggested I go with the Knauf Insulation. This is what they use in their panels as well and is brown in color. 2 feet by 4 feet. They have a DIY section on their website and you ... 
Upgrade in streamer changed my mind on the Tidal vs Qobuz option
Curious if you were using the Lumin app or Roon to access the streaming service? 
Turntable help, please!
+1 on the Clearaudio Concept and Marantz TT 15S1. I have both and they are sold performers.  
Question on Streamer/Dac and Roon
Thanks all for your inputs. Anybody has experience comparing the Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ vs the DAC in the T2?  
Question on Streamer/Dac and Roon
When I mentioned "noise" I meant the digital one that others speak of, I personally have not heard the fan of my mac mini come on for the files that I have on it, around 10K. And no DSPs as well. My objective is to understand if I'm missing out on... 
Opinion: of the Hi-Res streaming services out there, which do you use and why?
It all depends on your system and the synergy of the music services as rendered by your streamer. I have tried Tidal, Qobuz and Amazon HD and preferred Tidal over others. I have a MQA capable DAC and it sounds great to me. And cost wise BestBuy ha... 
New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning
I have received mine and no missing parts. I had to figure out how to put it together since the manual is sparse. It also came bundled with a good plastic records holder for drying purposes. I’m not going to clean jewelry in it so the basket is no...
