| rookie questions about used Bryston BDPs When I was running the BDP1 a few years ago, it was as a Squeezebox endpoint which worked OK. The Bryston software is horribly outdated and not really well suited to streaming. Using it as a Roon endpoint would be my suggestion | |
| Help with Mezzo Utopia Great news. NOW you have an incredible bargain. It’s always nice when a bit of leg work pays off, congrats | |

| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok I have to say the upgradability of the dcs ring dac firmware would also be a factor. This provides for a 7-8 year free upgrade path which is nice considering the buy in price. | |

| Why discussions generate into personal affronts... Ha GK! Your 18000 rambling posts on everything under the sun is indicative that you clearly don’t subscribe to Einstein’s posit. I await your pithy retort within the hour... | |

| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? “Homeless crackhead with the fanciest pipe” That’s funny stuff! | |

| Brave man, McGowan... I’m a believer in spending a reasonable amount on cables but it needs to be relative to the cost of the equipment being fed. Otherwise, as the old cowboys say “you just put a $100 saddle on a $10 horse” | |
| Why discussions generate into personal affronts... Hey you’re the guy sporting the demonic gingerbread-man avatar not moi 🤭 | |
