Gustardx26 pro vs RME ADI2FS
Thanks for everyone's input. Was also wondering with all the functions the RME has, many of which I am getting lost in with the tree they use. Maybe a language barrier as well:  the "phones" section-  what!? A bit frustrating and not especially us...

Pass F6 is SS, not tube.

Also DIY audio's desription of the F6:"The transformer greatly contributes to the overall sonic character of the amp which is very highly regarded and considered to be similar and having all the benefits and positive characteristics of a tube amp.... 
Gustardx26 pro vs RME ADI2FS
I came across this article on the net and remembered that Nelson Pass said the same thing once about the sound effect of transformers used, rather than the actual tubes.http://www.hawestv.com/amp_projects/amp_solid_tube/tube_sound1.htmThis site al... 
What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”?
Ive heard 2 versions of the AKM based DACs, RME and Topping, and neither sound better than the Oppo 205 ESS Sabre. Implementation may play a roll.What I like about RME though is the functionality, especially right/left balance! Equalizer and loudn...

Schitt Yggdrasil Vs. Bluenode 2i (Shock!)
I have the vault and node 2i.I think the node outperforms the vault in so many ways especially it's wireless functions. As a DAC that delivers bluetooth, it sounds surprisingly good. 
CD Ripper Ethernet conundrum
So far I have ripped 300 cds successfully to the VAULT without a direct ethernet wired connection.In cases where the wifi drops, which is rare, the cd rips generically, and all I have to do is rip it again. "Dead files"( ie files with no name) can... 
Modify Bluesound Vault Album Names with Metadata Editor
Wondering if dbpoweramp "perfect tunes" can be used to edit music files in the vault from a pc, wirelessly, or does the file have to dragged to the pc, edited, then dragged back to the vault?I read somewhere in BS support that all files have to tr...
