| What to buy....Auralic Aries, Sony Hap-ZES, or Auralic Altair? Given OP's budget and "great sound" as a criteria, even if you love the Aurelic Lightning DS app, you're not getting great sound vs. the Aries with LPS within his budget. The LPS makes a big difference. Mini is targeting a lower budget and include... | |
| What to buy....Auralic Aries, Sony Hap-ZES, or Auralic Altair? Check out the Sonore microRendu reviews on computeraudiophile and stereophile.com It sounds amazing, is easy to use and very flexible to system setups & preferences.

| SS Amp for Avalons Aren't Ayre & VAC both made in USA? It's true that Avalons are revealing & everything matters. Compared to many other speakers some might call them overly detailed or etched, especially when matched with ss electronics. My ownership experi... | |

| tube heat Open air ventilation is all you need, no fans necessary. Don't put them in a cabinet with doors. If you must, remove the back of the unit, spread the shelves as far from each other as possible and keep it a few inches off the back wall. But really... | |

| Looking for a network player Check out the review of the Sonore microRendu on computeraudiophile. It is very impressive, flexible and a sonic steal at its price point. Cheers,Spencer | |

| Upsampling - but seriously folks On computeraudiophile the rage seems to be using HQ Player to upsample to quad DSD. There's about a 100pg long thread about it there, which I don't have the patience to read. I can't recommend it because I haven't heard it(would like to), but it's... |
