AQ Diamond should be nice. I preferred AQ Diamond vs. WW Platinum for usb, Diamond more natural in my setup, WW a bit analytical. I hope you're using .5m cables, longer I2S subject to reflections, read about this on audiophilelifestyle.  
Best company to mod your gear?
Try partsconnexion.com, they're still doing mods. I do lots of parts procurement with them.  
UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread
@crustycoot  Mahavishnu John McLaughlin did have it all. Carlo and John together, just wow! Larry Coryell another great in the Fusion genre. In more straight rock genre, I also very much enjoy dual leads such as Allman Bros., Wishbone Ash, Quicks... 
Did Audiogon get sold to the Chinese or Russian Govt?
Above posts all good. If this was unmoderated forum I suspect many of us would no longer visit. You wouldn't even recognize it as audio forum, and nearly every audio topic would dissolve into unmitigated personal attack. I'm in agreement with thos... 
UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread
I lost most of my interest in lead guitarist with the advent of arena rock in late 70's. I was more into the blues, blues/rock guitarists. Once that blues based feel gone, the soul left. That's not to say, other forms of lead still interested and ... 
The past meets the future
As to the issue artist treated unfairly in distribution of money with streaming. I agree there are issues here, but this is not inherent to streaming platform, its simply an unfair business model at present.   And since when have we not had unfa... 
Preamp help please!
I've had some very disappointing experiences with recently purchased Psvane WE101d, two failures, one after around 25 hours and other DOA. I no longer know of US or Canadian source for Psvane, both mine purchased from China, don't trust Chinese so... 
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
I've promised myself this is the last time I enter o vs s. I can only hope it holds. I only know I've said everything I've have to say.  
The past meets the future
All good comments above. especially williewonka's recitation of Ghdprentice's statement of a good losing it's performance edge. In looking back on my own situation over the last few years, every single bit of attention and upgrades have been  tota... 
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
Based on my observations of this controversy over many years I will attempt to elucidate the divide. I cannot speak for all s, but at least a portion of us believe we can best achieve our goals for sound reproduction with audio systems by listeni...

With atx board servers, many ports can be upgraded very nicely, no separate streamer needed if you get this right.  The lps gets complicated, however. As mentioned previously, hoping to hear atx build soon.  
The past meets the future
Yes, utility is a good thing.  
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
At least some s also know why I and others like what they like. We're very aware of every issue o brings up, the difference between s and o is what we value. In the end whatever gets you off is fine with me.

The difference is O knows what's best for me, S suggests.
