From Denafrips Pontus to Lumin
@paoz - Lumin U1 into PS Audio Directstream DAC in main listening room and second U1 into T&A DAC 8 DSD in my home office. 
Best way to send digital to DAC
Yes, the N100 is a great device and pricing is good if you go used. 
Esoteric X-05 or Classe CDP-202
Read the thread about older Esoteric SACD players and run to anything else.  So in your case...Classe 
Lumin vs Auralic
+1 for Lumin.  I own two Lumin1 U1 transports and love them.  Not stuck with a internal DAC since they are just transports/streamers. 
From Denafrips Pontus to Lumin
I love my Lumin S1, but will move to the U1 since I don’t need the internal DAC.  I have had many different Aurenders [N100H, X100L! N10) and also own an Auralic Aires G2.  The Lumin is vastly superior to all the above, but at its price new it sho... 
Mytek Brooklyn overkill?
You missed some reviews that say otherwise... 
Using an ouboard DAC with SONY HAPZ1ES
I have used tried an Auralic Vega DAC, Esoteric N-05 Streamer/DAC, a Bryston BDA-3 DAC, and am now using a Mytek Brooklyn DAC with the Sony HAP-Z1 in my home office.  I think all the DACs sounded better than the internal HAP-Z1 DAC.  Having said t... 
Mytek Brooklyn
@mihow.  Saw your post above about your forums and great support.  You should actually review the very few posts on your forum and provide answers.  I for one am sorry I purchased a Mytek Brooklyn DAC seeing the way you treat your customers.So man... 
Network Media player with Dac Recomendations
I owned the Esoteric N-05, just didn’t like the sound compared with other streamerDAC combos I’ve heard or owned. Also, I own an Aurender N100 and the new ACS10 and really like them, but again these need an external DAC.My favorite Streamer/DAC wa...

99$ Digital cable is damn good
@kalali may need a Midol! 
What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital?
Not a valid question.  What digital - DAC/transport/file bit rate, etc.?  What analog - R2R, Turntable, Cassette/media?  The question isn’t answerable! 
Pass INT-30 or INT-60
I own the INT-30 and drive a pair of Focal Sopra No. 1s without issue.  Volume is plenty for me in my 12’x15’ room.  The Sopras are rated at 89db@1W.  Again, more than enough power for me 
Integrated Amplifier
Used Mark Levinson 585. I had one and sold it. I’m still looking for another used one to replace it with.  Beautiful sound, great DAC and lots of power.   
Anyone have feedback on Audiogon's Insider membership?
I can’t imagine paying an Audiogon forum fee.  There is more bad advice than good on this forum.  And posers..
