A tip for those using First Sound Preamps
Very nice.  I wasn't familiar with that preamp, so I did some googling.  That's an impressive piece of gear.  I have ten NOS PCC88 tubes sitting in boxes.  I bought them for a conrad-johnson preamp that I had for a month. It developed an issue an... 
Subwoofers
My room is approximately 20 ft x 35 ft.  I'm using two REL S/510 in a stereo pair.  Using speaker level connections for two channel.  I have the gain and crossover set really low. They blend well with my full range speakers.  If I turn them up ve... 
For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock?
@kereru Ok. I'll skip the shorting caps unless I can confirm that it's a good idea.  Thanks for the reply.   
For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock?
@kereru I actually bought both.  They were cheap. I just didn't know if shorting the unused output was a good idea.  The silicone cap would simply keep dust out.    https://www.amazon.com/Bingfu-Connector-Protecting-Protective-Surveillance/dp/B0... 
For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock?
@kereru And just when you thought I was out of stupid questions... I seem to recall something about caps for the unused bnc connectors.  I found both copper shorting caps and some silicone caps on Amazon.  Do you recommend one or the other?  I can...

@kereru If FedEx doesn't let me down, the OCK-2 will arrive tomorrow.  My plan is to connect it to both the U18 and R26 as you suggested. Stupid question of the day...  if I connect my cd player to my R26 using a coaxial digital connection, the c...

@boulder_bob I wondered the same thing.  I'm guessing Head-Fi.org

@kereru thank you! I ordered some cheap cables, but sounds like I'll need better ones.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0C3GDDK5T?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

@peareye @kereru Old thread.  I have a Gustard R26 dac and Gustard U18 ddc.  I read this post and it enticed me to try a LHY ock-2 clock. It won't get to me for several days. I was wondering what you feel is the best way to connect everything.  S... 
what cable should I buy for my system?
You might try Fidelium speaker cables by Silversmith Audio.   
Streamer/Ripper/Storage
Varying opinions on a CD ripper feature. If you don't need one, don't get a streamer with the drive to rip cds.  But, if you want to rip cds, the feature in my Innuos is as easy as it gets. You pop in a CD and in less than 5 minutes, the cd pops o...
