Owning Up To It
@waytoomuchstuff Talk about being distracted! Reminds me of working in restaurants back in the day, work pool parties at apartment complexes always turned into nudist colony fun until the cops came. Can't believe some people didn't appreciate the ... 
Anybody not receiving Agon email updates?
I've had same issues for quite a while.  
Olivia Newton John Passes at age 73
Really liked her early country based music, I too had crush. Animal, environmental and breast cancer activist, what's not to like!   Not surprised she was quick witted, check out her family, father code breaker for British intelligence, grandfat... 
Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito
@cleeds Exactly what I was thinking. Is the intention to drive Mofi out of business?  
Nucleus, is there a better alternative?
Andrew, thought I saw OpticalRendu out of stock a few weeks ago. Anyway good to know they're in stock and OpticalModule now in production, looking forward to hearing OM (already have OR) in my system.  
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
The audiophile objectivist needs to please the bot, subjectivist only needs to please him or herself. Man, I'm one happy audiophile having built a wonderful system based on  trust in my aural perceptive abilities.  
Does a DAC need a large/strong power supply?
Who are we trying to please here, some measuring bot or ourselves?  
Owning Up To It
@waytoomuchstuff I was far from perfect at many a concert, problem is I couldn't tell what level performers performing at! The old pass around ganja thing juiced up with liquid refreshments. How about lsd with Weather Report early 70's, small venu... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
Oh boy, another thread taken over by a futile subjective vs objective argument.   I'd only suggest vast majority here subjectivists, we like to experience things for outselves.   I can do initial experiment with Giandel for little initial outl... 
Does a DAC need a large/strong power supply?
Charles has the answer, experience the difference for yourself. I'd suggest the dacs with lesser power supplies may resolve very well, lack in substantive, analog like sound qualities. This has been my experience and others based on subjective rev... 
For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system.
I could have never gotten here without going on near fifty years experience at least listening to relatively high end systems. The building in earnest has taken place over last nearly thirty years. As with some others, I purchased much used compon... 
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
This is why I've kept audio journal for twenty plus years, document every change. This has been extremely beneficial in moving forward rather than constant lateral or circular movement. Allows one to systematically build system with strong foundat... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
@ I used one of early PSAudio regenerators many years ago, ended up much preferring my transformer based PC. Mine was one of the lower power PS, used only on front end components. Perhaps the newer PSAudio devices much better than previous generat... 
Nucleus, is there a better alternative?
You are correct, that's why they have audiophile switches, supposed to limit noise. I did try audiophile switch, preferred router with no switch, router powered with lps. Guess I'm lucky with no need of switch in my setup, why add another componen...

@theaudioamp I had forgotten about dc offset issue which I did know about at the time, this was many years ago when I had the issue.
