| DAC/Pre-Amp Advice @kota1 Good questions. Normally it’d be connected through the tape monitor jacks, but as I just saw his Yammy doesn’t have that it might be as easy as connecting the anti-mode between the pre out and main in jacks, but that’d need to be checked — ... | |

| Anyone else have issues with Tidal? Great opportunity to try Qobuz if it’s available where you live. I switched from Tidal a few years ago and never looked back, and I’m far from alone here. Don’t recall anyone switching from Qobuz to Tidal, ehem. | |
| Why so few devices with BNC's?? If AES/EBU is available why offer BNC? | |

| Anotherspeaker placement question (distance measurements) Let’s address the elephant in the room — what are your room dimensions and on what wall are your speakers situated? Not sure why this critical info has to be a national secret. Sheesh. | |
