Considering A New Streaming DAC (Pick 1 of 4)
Hi Soix, Not at all and I just might do that. But you learn a lot by asking questions. At this point I'm leaning towards keeping the N100H and looking at an M1.

Rockrider, Detailed response is very much appreciated. Any comments on ergonomics and ease of interfacing with the units?

Rockrider, Can you share experience of A20 vs Tambaqui with pros/cons for both?

Thanks for all your responses. Most helpful. Question to all: Keeping in mind my front end usage with streaming as a secondary pursuit and no Roon (nor do I plan to employ it) does that change anyone's responses? Thanks again for your input.

Can't demo but hoping someone can identify 1 more than other 3 as "tube like." Not holding out hope on that. I'll check out that Lumin. Thanks.

Wife caught Richard Thompson in the mid-80's. Changed a broken string during a tune and never stopped.

Good lists. I agree with just about all of this. Two names I didn't see were Roy Clark and Danny Gatton.   
Pass Labs Speaker Choices
XA 30.8, Backert 1.3 Rhumba Extreme, A/N AN-K SPe. Similar setup to MWood and I too listen all day.  
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
Two degrees in be-bop. A Phd in swing. He's the master of rhythm. He's the rock 'n roll king.     -Lowell George  
Does a higher gauge electrical wire impact voltage level?
The answer is "no." Wattage can be affected by gauge size but not voltage.  
RIP Christine McVie
Two songs she wrote I always loved: "Spare Me A Little Of Your Love" from Bare Trees, and "Why" from Mystery To Me  
Help recommend a good tube preamp
+2 for Backert Labs. Outstanding piece of equipment.

My copy of Hobo's Lullaby is pretty decent. An older pressing.
