| Next best exponential DAC quality level? Folks, I read this thread with interest and some amusement. Kudos to cindyment for their thoughtful, rational and respectful responses and explanations. I certainly hope that more people of this intelectual caliber remain in this group. | |

| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? Coincidentally there is a recent review in audio science review in which RCA cables from three distributors, with fairly wide price differences, are compared from both a performance and an auditory perspective. No significant differences were foun... | |

According to millercarbon,"Max Townshend has video you can watch showing clearly how impedance mismatches cause a reflection to travel back down the cable.

| New Speakers $10K -$20K I have somewhat similar requirements as yours (80% AVR 20% 2-channel stereo) and close to your age (~66). I have the Marantz 8805 preamp, which I believe works very well for listening to movies and regular TV programs with surround sound and Atmos... | |
| Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K I have a pair of Magico A3s that IMHO satisfy all your requirements. | |

| Point of higher priced streamer? LOL!!! This is very funny. I totally missed this part. Hilarious! Especially if “backed” by the world famous & renowned ASR. How do you know? Or you just KNOW?Please read the results of the ASR tests of Roon's implementation of Chromecast Aud... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? One reason why I have not yet decided on a streamer/DAC combination to get is Roon compatibility. Many of the newest high performing and reasonably priced models such as the Minidsp SHD, Matrix Audio Mini-i 3 Pro, Arcam ST60, etc., have not receiv... |
