New streamer or dac?
Going through a couple of interactions I decided to commit to Roon as my meta data manager and interface to my personal library, Qobuz and a couple of background Sonos systems.  Going that route I found my internet connection was intermittent at b...

Bricasti M3 or Lumin T2
I purchased a Bricasti M3 with the network option.  Took a little risk as based purcahsed on phone calls, reviews but also strongly influnced by US based company.  Very happy with build quality, sound quality and streaming / network reliability.  ...

Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)?
Spica TC-50’s  
Pass XA 25 versus Parasound A21+ - anyone compare?
If you haven't done so reach out to Taylor at GoldPrint Audio in North Carolina.  He carries Joseph Audio and I believe Parasound and beyond being a get dealer takes in JA trades frequently as pass past customers move up the JA line.  I have no re...
