@melm This hearing of the formerly unheard continues to amaze me with 16/44, 005, network and general system improvements. My recent boutique tube purchases uncovered another layer of the lowest level details, performers in room becoming flesh and... 
750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference

In the beginning
I recall many parties back in the day, everyone around the bonfire, someone finds a stick, starts beating on log, others follow. Soon enough amazing rhythms ensue, primitive and tribal for sure. Man, I miss those days!
