Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp
I hope this is helpful. @mdalton  It’s not.    There are others, like me, whose beliefs/experiences suggest that if you spend more than a relatively small amount of $ (i.e., $250 to $2,000?) on a streamer, you may be spending money on feature... 
A nightmare regarding streaming?
Someone here recently inadvertently deleted an extensive playlist on Tidal, but he contacted Tidal and they were able to restore it so wouldn’t surprise me if Qobuz may have a backup of your playlists somewhere.  Worth a try fer sure.   
If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it?
There will probably be many Zuckerberg-like, non-musician nerds getting rich from generating music through AI in the future, and some of it may even be good.  Good for them I guess, but I’ll never respect or wanna meet them, and I’ll damn sure nev...

Or maybe someone who has spent a lot of time with streaming tech, has a good system with lots of options, and a good ear. Soix is probably right when he says the majority agree with him, but this is a self selecting group. @jji666  Yup, a se... 
Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks
Given what you’re looking for my top choices (in no particular order) would be the MP-3, Spatial Audio Raven, Aric Audio Motherload XL, and Backert Rhumba Extreme and don’t think you could possibly go wrong with any of them and believe several off... 
Any experience with SVS 3000 Micro
Have you played with speaker placement to mitigate room issues? I think the SVS SB1000 Pro is a better (and cheaper) sub than the 3000 Micro and isn’t all that much bigger. The REL doesn’t go all that much lower than your speakers but may still he...

All streamers have no sound = Head in the sand.

@audphile1  Heh heh.  Yeah, my bad.  Alvin wouldn’t touch the nuts here.

@mdalton. Yeah, sorry I got your daddy’s name wrong.

@mdalton The vast majority of people here find meaningful differences in the impact streamers have on sound so you’re in the distinct minority, If you can’t hear differences between streamers then that’s sad but good for you, and I hear ASR callin...

@mdalton Maybe because they don’t like people who like to play mommy.  Hmmm.

@mdalton Nah, just issues with ridiculous statements.  
Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp
@mdalton Yeah, and I have a different opinion from him which is perfectly within my right. He came out and made a strong statement that I thought was ridiculous and rebutted it. That happens here — deal with it. BTW, the vast majority of people he... 
Upgrade Digital Cable Review
Agreed.  I had a well-regarded budget digital cable for years thinking it was fine, but upgrading to a $600 cable was like making a big component upgrade — biggest difference any cable has made in my system by a good margin, and I was pissed at my...
