Amazon music vs Qobuz
Maybe I wasn't too clear. My Windows based computer is my streamer.  USB from computer to DAC, and also Hardwired Ethernet connection from router to computer port.  I have NO noise that is audible to me, I bring laptop to my listening area on tabl... 
Amazon music vs Qobuz
Thanks for the response. I haven't listened to Amazon in a while, as I prefer Qobuz. In my main system, I use a Meitner DAC M1, which shows exactly the streaming rate. If I remember correctly, on the DAC, Amazon will show HI DEF, but it was always... 
Amazon music vs Qobuz
I have Amazon HD for about 2 years now. Very happy with it. I just had to try Qobus though. I have a pretty good system, about 20k. What I noticed is Qobus does sound BETTER, tighter, more dynamic, just more clarity and oomph. Amazon is much easi...

To Mesch and to Shtinkydog:  I will definitely  look at the Fritz speakers, your models for sure. Thank you !!!!      Also to shtinkydog, I have had them for a while and then they just sat.  You are totally correct, they are truly amazing speakers...

After reading a response from Avanti1960, I am wondering how accurate he is on his assessment of the Focal speakers? I set my purchase decision on the Focals based solely on reviews, never heard them prior to ownership. He may be right. How easily...

Thanks so much for the posts. When I first started putting together this rooms system I debated on stand a mounts  rather than the bigger towers. However, It is what it is  now.   The Peachtree units were originally in my bigger room and didn't so... 
Best sounding CD player
it's not cheap, Project RS2T transport (red book only) and then add a linear power supply, with upgraded  power cable. Put it against anything out there,  BAR NONE. Of course a good DAC is necessary to complete the package. Robert TN  
What is the forums opinion of SVS subs?
Have two separate systems. Rock and Roll only. Smaller system, SVS SB 3000, and larger system SB 4000. Great price, warranty, and SOUND!  Blue tooth for dialing in,  GREAT!!!!  
DAC’s
My 2 cents. I recently bought,  at a great deal, the Meitner MA-1 DAC. Love it!!! It is just a DAC. Sounds GREAT.  I do not use a streamer. I have a Windows 10 based computer attached directly to the DAC, also connected via an Ethernet cable.  I c... 
100% USA designed & made DAC
Benchmark 3B Also  a Meitner DAC MA-1 Both Great  
Anything close to Hegel H360 but smaller/lighter?
Benchmark Amp a GREAT Choice, second would be Peachtree   Nova 300, also a very good choice. Enjoy Robert TN

ATI 6000  2 channel AMP Tekton Double Impacts-upgraded Meitner  MA-1 DAC  
New Project RS2T transport
