@mid-fi-crisis  - Are you trying to put together one "best" system? Or are you trying to build multiple different systems for different rooms/locations? What are you going to do with the leftover equipment? Also, is your Prima Luna the Integrated ...

Looks like it is a USB-C connection on the Schiit Modi side. Not sure what type of USB connection it would be on the iMac side.

Jimbo Mathus and the Tri-State Coalition - "White Buffalo"I love this album. Jimbo is the Real Deal. Like the music or not, it's authentic. You can hear Oxford, Mississippi in every note...... 
Worst Concerts You Have Attended ??
@dekay  - Thanks buddy, you had me worried. With some of the crowd around here, you never can tell.....BTW, what I said is still true. The 3LP Abby Road Half Speed Master is really good. It also covers the entire 33 song set, vs the 6 songs on the...
