| If you still spin CDs, this may be the cost no object best option. I happen to think scattered light is a positive in my system. With my setup and my scattered light refraction balancer in analog mode I hear things others can’t detect. Sublime! | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Wilson speaker’s are for old guys with tinnitus or hearing damage. They sound great! | |
| Music Server vs CD Music server gets my vote. CDs are for old guys! | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal I owned a pair of Wilson Sophia 2s and now own a pair of Focal Sopra 1s. I much prefer the Sopras. Not a fan of the lower end Wilson’s. I am running subwoofers with the Focals as I did with the Wilsons. | |
| I want a streamer The Lumin U1 is the best streamer (no DAC) I have used in my system. | |
| NAD M10 Streaming Amplifier Did you pay $99.00 for the full Dirac Live solution or are you using the out of the box functionality? I haven't tried it yet | |
| NAD M10 Streaming Amplifier I forgot to mention, but it should be obvious, the NAD M10 has a built in DAC so all you need is a pair of speakers to have a complete system | |

| The JC Whitney syndrome I agree with the OP. There are many tweaks that just don’t work and are just silly. One man’s tweak is another man’s snake oil. | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? I bought the Focal Sopra No 1’s knowing they would be light in the bass region. Just picked up a pair of JL Audio F112 suns with custom floor stands. Wow! I had an old Definitive Technology sub before but having two subs of much higher quality ... | |
| DAC Suggestions for Aurender N100C I have a PS Audio Direcstream DAC. Excellent DAC and very good discounts can be had for a new one (~40%] | |
| Esoteric F-07, F-05, Levinson 585 Mark Levinson No 585 is superior to anything listed here including the Naim and Esoterics. I own the Mark Levinson 585 and the Esoteric I-03 Integrated, the predecessor to the F-05 and F-07.Go with the 585 and get a great integrated you will keep! |
