| lumin direct to "main in" section on Yamahas/Luxmans/Accuphase? It should be fine as the main in is basically a HT bypass that just turns the Yammy into an amp. Just to be safe I’d start with the volume on both the Yamaha and the Lumin turned all the way down and go from there. It’ll be interesting whether y... | |

| Acoustic Zen Matrix reference II IC @ryder I too am using Silver Ref and Silver Ref ll interconnects for 20 years and no desire to change. Good example of when you design something well from the start, don’t f*ck with it. | |
| Moved Audio Quest cable to my DAC. WOW @waytoomuchstuff Love the term “intellectual humility.” I wish more people here would practice that over their intellectual arrogance. You’re right — we simply don’t know what we don’t know. This is exactly why most of us simply use and trust o... | |

Seller has a stellar reputation and speakers look near flawless and are in the gorgeous Sapele finish — my personal favorite.

| Subwoofer - thoughts on Rythmic F12 If I couldn’t afford something like JL Labs and could afford a little more than SVS then Rhythmic would be at the top of my list, and the F12 more specifically. Excellent technology, build quality, and performance, and the only downside is that I... | |
| What are my options for music files, CD rips, and a DAC all-in-one solution? This does everything you’re looking for, but while the internal DAC is decent I’m not sure it’d be an upgrade. It has a CD drive and internal storage so you can rip your CDs directly into it. You could later upgrade to a better DAC and also add ... | |
| Streamer/server newbie Look at an Innuos Zenith. It’s got an onboard CD drive and storage, and their Sense software is free and gets great reviews for both usability and sound quality and is constantly being upgraded. They offer great customer support, and you can add... | |
