Preamp Deal of the Century
@budburma did you buy direct from Rev Labs?  Which cord is it and what is the cost?  I have a Chardonnay being built by Mick.  Thanks  
Does your IFi Zen Steam have Low Gain?
@carlsbad  @ricevs thanks for your suggestions…I got it solved…it was an oversight in the iFi software.  I had the settings set at 100%  volume but didn’t realize you have to go into the actual play app and also set the volume to 100% even if you ... 
Does your IFi Zen Steam have Low Gain?
@ricevs yes I do have the max volume set at 100.  I didn’t see the start volume setting.  I’ll look into that setting.  That might be my issue.  I use the Roon setting and control my volume with my amp volume controls and don’t use the iFi ap.

@macg19 What kind of difference in SQ are you experiencing with the Fina PC on your DAC? How’s the rest of the loom sounding as well? Enjoy!  
Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality....
@dekay absolutely the funniest post! LMFAO so much my ribs ache!  
Quobuz subscription
@thyname Agree they are both very good (I slightly prefer Tidal) and grateful as well that  we have both offered to us!  
Recommend A New DAC Between $1000 and $2000
Great Dac no matter the price.  Nos tubes takes it up another level.   
HT and 2 channel in same room? 1 or 2 systems?
This may not be for many but it works for me.  I don’t use my HT system that often so I didn’t want to spend a lot on it.   I have a midfi Pioneer Elite 7.1 HT system that I added a nice tube DAC, streamer with optical and Fritz main speakers.  So... 
A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey
@dolfan  hope they work out for you.  Low risk  at that price.  They take some play time to be at their best.  In think they work best on the lower draw components like streamer, DAC …. I am not a Rhodium fan.  It is lower in conducting and its ma... 
The best plug in filter ever!
I use these 12ga splitters.    
Buying Pet Peeve - Pictures

The best plug in filter ever!
@ozzy On my system it sounds best with both the High Fidelity MC-Pro and the Puron vs either one on their own. . Quite noticeable. Extended cleaner bass, clearer highs, quieter background and increased gain.  The Puron and MC Pro are both plugged... 
Testing for Dirty Electrical Power
I bought an Entech noise analyzer and found it to be a waste.  Showed basically same results wherever it was plugged into.  Power conditioners, wall, wall with appliance running etc.  Sold it on ebay the next day  
Nordost Purple Flare for GoldenEar triton One.R
I like Kimberkable 12TC on my GE Tritons.  No brightness here with tube gear.  
The best plug in filter ever!
Hi Fidelity Cable’s NPS -1260 and Q45t and now Puron has taken me…and my ears are luvin’ it! Well worth the $ even for a value Midfi dude 2 1/2 years into this hobby.  The black goo defies logic until you use it for yourself.🤯
