Neil Young - Barn Documentary
Neil definitely in my top ten live artists, would go see every time he came around. Heard Barn last listening session for first time, these guys can still rock. And I do like the fact Neil has a conscience and has the freedom to exercise it.   I... 
Balanced Power Technologies (BPT) Service
I still use self modded BPT 3.5 signature. I'd bet on the magnetic thermal circuit breaker on/off switch as culprit. I'd open up unit, try to identify part numbers on switch, probably can find replacement at Mouser or another parts house. Otherwis... 
Antidote to Nihilism - Jordan Peterson "MUSIC"
Like your side doesn't dismiss our sources. Here's another futility thread, so much fun, fun,fun,fun. NOT  
Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO...
I'd say add to our streaming knowledge and try, I still think much to be learned.   I hope to have most or all of my questions about streaming answered by end of year. I know someone who is in process of diy build, aka self assembly of nearly st... 
Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO...
@lalitk You couldn't get much more clutter free than server with optical out to streamer/usb renderer with optical in to dac.  
Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui
I can only say I was financially prepared to purchase Mola Mola having read enough good reviews that conformed with the sound qualities I was desiring in new dac. In continuing my deep research I serendipitously discovered Mustetec 005 on Chinese ... 
Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO...
These results not surprising, unique results with unique setups. I bet you'd do better with the Acoustic Network ethernet cables, this based on other's reviews of them.  I've also experienced the benefits of better ethernet cables, having gone fro... 
CD transport vs.streaming
@densely You must have been reading some posts from Georgehifi, he would constantly post about a few streams vs cd that measured slightly different then made generalizations about streaming compression. I want to see proof of mass compression of s... 
Jelco TK850 users got slop?
I've not had this issue with my TK-850L, but thanks for the information. I also installed Easy VTA on mine, makes on the fly VTA adjustments with precision.  
Question about I2S
No, your source is the Roon Nucleus which has no I2S output, and beside your Ayon has no I2S input according to information in your link. I wouldn't really worry about it, looks like pretty nice setup as is.  
CD transport vs.streaming
That's the beauty of streaming, you can make it simple or complex, both can work. I just happen to like complexity, I'm one to change out capacitors, resistors, etc., this may sound like work to some, for me this is fun.  
CD transport vs.streaming
@charles1dad  Charles, the complexity of streaming has renewed my interest in audio experimentation. I'm at end game components for much of my system, this is one of the two areas left to me for that experimentation, the other being vinyl setup. ... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@arafiq  Two ways to took at that, financial interest or they really like dac. I assume vast majority of dealers like the products they carry. And I doubt lot of financial incentive with carrying the Musetec which has relatively low retail price. ... 
CD transport vs.streaming
@larryi Your experience between the two servers not surprising. Hearing a single or multiple streaming setups doesn't give one much insight into how another streaming setup may sound.   Streaming setups are at least as unique as vinyl setups, pr... 
What Recordings Of Yours Did Not Age Well?
70's rock is what hasn't aged well for me. I'm drawn to much more complex music these days, jazz, classical, electronic now far more appealing to me. 70's rock is nostalgic for me, used to romanticize those days, now I recall the druggie days much...
