Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound
@rogerstaton  Since I use a network streamer I need to use a network player like Roon to play Qobuz on my network.  Originally I used a USB cable from my laptop into my DAC but found that playing music onto my wifi network sounded a whole lot bett... 
Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound
Thank you for all your thoughtful comments so far.  I look forward to seeing additional great insights. It seems as thought, although I do not have much experience in this area as I listen to little new music other than later relases of jazz, pro... 
So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System
I have two anecdotal experiences with uber-expensive systems. One was at a dealer who had set up some Wilson Alexandria XLFs and didn't have to ask me twice whether I wanted to hear the system.  Having heard some Sophias at a fraction of the cost... 
Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl
At one time in my earlier life I owned practically every half-speed and other audiophile record.  As my stereo improved I liked them less and less in favor of the best sounding original pressings.  I have sold most of those compressed audiophile r... 
Choosing Headphones up to 1700 USD
Another great headphone line is Kennerton.  I have a pair of Gjallarhorn GH50 and a Rognir Planar Magnetic.  The Gjallarhorns use just that, horn-loaded graphene-laminated mylar dynamic driver and has great bass and dynamics.  The Rognirs have muc... 
Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable
I compared a regular Cat 5E ethernet cable, a Blue Jeans Cat 6A, and Certicables Cat 8 cables, all 3 meters.  The Cat 5E was the stock cheap cable provided by the cable company, the BJ 6A cost something like $10 and the C 8 was about $50 on either... 
Qobuz or Apple Music?
Even standard 16/44.1 standard rez Qobuz files sound better than hi-rez Amazon Music files.  
Have you had buyers/sellers back out of a deal?
Funny that the OP posted this as I have had at least a half dozen buyers back out on US Audiomart.  In hundreds of transactions I have never had this happen on AG or Ebay but it seems to be the norm on USAM.  I get it, USAM is the outlier in that ... 
Just my observation - seems like there is less listed on AG
I agree with lwin above that AG is exceptionally anal about controlling the dialog between buyers and sellers.  And I feel their selling fees are excessive and laden with low-ballers.  But I think they still are the standard for audio product sale... 
How do you make a final decision on a DAC
I agree with the above poster that there are really no shortcuts when it comes to digital audio, i.e. DACs.  I went from the DAC in a $168 DAC/Amp to a $99 standalone DAC to a $360 model to a $3500 unit to my current $11,000 DAC and there was an i...
