Is JRiver still the best software?
For some, the better question is why anyone would pay $1-2 K for another overpriced black box, when with a basic understanding of how to optimize a computer for audio,  along with some very good software and and components, folks can and often do ...

  @effischer , Glad that you're making progress and have experienced more of the capabilities of your excellent Mac C50!   Just a couple of questions/ suggestions: Have you by chance downloaded and installed the software drivers and setup instr... 
The volume of my speakers going down by itself and going back again in a minute or two
If you weren't already an old hand at this, I would have suggested going back to first principles and cleaning/checking connectors and volume pots, but I'm sure you are way beyond that.  Good luck with the gremlins!  
Tidal now offers HiFi at $10/month for HiFi!
Best Buy has a great special right now for subscribing to Tidal Hi-Fi, $120.00 per year, renewable.  And yes, it is the highest resolution option for Tidal.

@terrible,  It sounds like your tonearm may be an older version of Satisfy.  Otherwise, there actually is an anti-skate knob lateral to the pivot for easy adjustment on the fly.  +1 @mijostyn

OP,Kudos for not letting anyone denigrate your system or level of understanding, especially when they offer no constructive advice in return.  For the record, the $2000 Clearaudio Satisfy tonearm is continuously wired, well designed, highly resolv... 
Frequency response while streaming stops at 15kHz- did I miss something in the fine print?
Hi Tony,Interesting question. (and great system, btw!)  I'm running Tidal on my setup but have a trial for QoBuz and would like to install and test this issue.  Do you recommend any particular FFT analyzer app for iPhone?Howard 
Best Speaker Choice for my very "non-audio-friendly" Living Room
As they are in your price range, You should consider the Paradigm Personas as well - for great built-in room calibration, high efficiency,  imaging in spades, and an unusually broad sweet spot.  A wide speaker separation is actually displayed in m...
