@ghdprentice Thanks! I’ll look into that! Any particular brand you’d recommend? 
Original Legacy Studio Speakers
With speakers that are now pushing 20 years old, should I be concerned about the crossovers needing rebuilt? Caps drifting out of spec, etc?@bajaed Were your LSA’s from before Underwood HiFi acquired the company? Jealous of your Calibres, btw... 
Original Legacy Studio Speakers
I’m pretty much restricted to stand-mount monitors due to the size of my listening space. Of course, there’s the Calibre, but at $5000+ those ARE out of my price range. 
Need a DAC Recommendation.
Black Ice Audio Glass FX DAC. It’s on sale for $699 right now over at Underwood HiFi.Read the reviews. 
Original Legacy Studio Speakers
Well, crap... I’ve been informed that the Studio series would be a pretty poor introduction to the Legacy sound, and not representative if their typical sound quality. Sigh. 
Auralic Aries
It’s kind of funny that I went this route, as my primary interest lies in analog. Unfortunately, due to space concerns in my current housing arrangement, I figured I’d get the most mileage out of a DAC/Streamer combo. No point in shelling out for ... 
Auralic Aries

Auralic Aries
Well I’m reading a lot about the mini and g2 here, not so much RE the original Aries like I just bought. I do find it curious that the mini has provision for adding internal storage whereas the full sized Aries does not. I read on another site tha... 
Auralic Aries
Noisy?! Cripes, that’s what I’m trying to get away from. 
Auralic Aries
@ghdprentice just out of curiosity, what prompted the move to the Aurender? That G2 looks a good bit of kit. 
Auralic Aries
Thx @jond @mike_in_nc yes I believe I read about a guy replacing the stock (7260) card with the updated 8260 card. Why this card is better, or how one would go about effecting this upgrade is beyond me, however. 
Any audiophiles into motorcycles
Funny you ask... Audio gear has lately been siphoning funds away from my main passion, which is riding/wrenching on classic Vespa motorscooters from the 1960’s & 70’s. Been in a couple wrecks, last one required major surgery (on me, the bike w... 
Underwood HiFi Cables
Those gold power cables certainly look the business
