Need Help Burning DSD64 files to DVD+R
Could you play them if you put them on a USB thumb drive or even an external USB drive? That would be so much easier.   
GaN FET Amps vs. Traditional Class D Amps
@mcraghead - This is such a hard question to answer. I own both (AGD Audion and Nuprime AMG One) but still couldn’t tell you how the technology affects the sound. They would have to be designed by the same person for me to know. I think @mapman ga... 
Speaker set up for more than 1 person
What you are asking for is impossible. All your friends will never get good soundstage and centered imagine. The stereo format was not designed for this. That’s its main weakness. Look into multichannel music systems using more than a pair of spea... 
Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000?
@knittersspouse  - Glad to see that you have been at it for a while. At the end of the day, it’s all about enjoying the music. I am very bullish about digital. I think that’s the future: we will match the best table sound at a fraction of the cost... 
Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000?
The good news is, one day in the near future, these technologies will be worth $500. I cannot blame the engineers for wanting to capitalize on their research and development. Too bad a lot of us won’t be around to enjoy them. I am glad that digita... 
Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album?
You all do know that there are lists of the 50 greatest jazz albums already compiled on the internet, right? The 50 best jazz albums of all time  
Aries Cerat Helene vs MSB Premiere DAC vs Lampizator Pacific 2
The biggest mistake you could make is to buy either one based on someone else’s opinion. You might as well do mini mani moo and pick one. Good luck.   
XLR cable placement
Easy! Put it between the DAC and the preamp and listen to it for one week, then move it to the other location and listen to it for another week. If you still can’t make up your mind then the location doesn’t matter. You can’t lose. Good luck and h...

@thecarpathian     I think you got confused way before that if you think you are providing a public service correcting spelling and grammatical errors on the internet. No one cares besides you.   
Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List
@thecarpathian   I said we counting the other posters like @fthompson251 who said: “I am forever thankful to Terry for his pointing me to the Coda S5.5.I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!”. I am not the only one who thinks you should let go and frankly should h...

Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List
@devinplombier    Oui, oui. I know. Looks like my spellchecker sneaked it in on me and I was half asleep at midnight. Thanks. ‘My point to @thecarpathian is that no one cares. We don’t read Terry’s reviews for his prose but because we appreciate... 
ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS
@mswale    Physics is physics, and math is math. Those are usually not open to debate.  Sorry, but you couldn’t be more wrong. Science is always open to debate. That’s why most of what we know about physics today is called scientific theories... 
HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ?
@steakster    Which position is the right one? The most dramatic or the one that places the triangle where it was in the original recording? That’s the goal, right? Was it a live session?
