What's up with lousy bass on classic rock recordings?
Remember the Metallica album where they mixed the bass player out of the Final Cut because they did not like him snd kicked him out of the band. Think a lot of bad production happened when they let the musicians into the engendering room.  
A SHOCKING DISCOVERY ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO

Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer
@verdantaudio  mconnect is a terrible app would never recommend under any circumstance. JPLAY is a great app for this application.  
Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer
Gustard R26! Great sounding r2r dac with built in streamer. I use the built in streamer by the lan connection, have my Mac book pro connected by usb, have my cd transport connected by coax, and once in a while go to my iphone through Bluetooth. On... 
Low level listening
I will say my Vandersteen’s sound very good at low to moderate level. Then they sound fantastic with some juice. I think you can’t really compare low to moderate level to full on. They can both sound very good low level listening you are just not ...

Is Imaging Worth Chasing?
IMO imaging is great when it is dialed in just right. But, I do notice and I don’t like that the mixing done on some recordings is all over the place. The drummer is almost 99% of the time located back center position. This is where I want to hear... 
Gustard R26
The majority of R26 users using lan connection are finding nice improvements adding a fiber media converter run off a lps. You can add this all in under $200 very much worth the try. If you don’t like what it does for your dac mover it over to a l... 
Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?
I welcome all new or old music I have not heard before! Through Qobuz I have found 20 30 year old music that is new to me. Anything with a good guitar player is enjoyable to me.  
One of the great things about Vinyl
I like my music any way I can get it. I will never go on rants that claim one is better than the other. This is all up to the individual listner to decide what they like better. I love my records, cds and streaming all for different reasons. I wil... 
Why Are We Breaking Our Brains?
The difference in taste is easily explained by science. Taste is controlled by the taste buds on your tung. The number of taste buds carry greatly from person to person. This is why some can handle spice some can’t, it’s why some say it’s to sweet... 
DAC Compatible with PS Audio SACD Transport
Just a heads up. I2S is not a standardized pin layout. You first need to know you ps pin lay out then find a dac with the same.  
OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!.
My wife still can’t figure out why the bedroom gets so cold after she put all the throw pillows on the floor covering up the heat register vents!
