Topping P50 power supply, + Zen Streamer + Topping E50 DAC
Interesting…I purchased an open box (like new) Topping P 50 for my Zen Stream and 2 FMC’s.  When I connected the Steam (no FMC’s) the Stream Led would light  up but would not function.  When I plugged the stock power plug in the Stream it worked p... 
VTV D300 Digital amp
@ricevs  VTV or Peachtree  that is the question?   Any benefit of one over the other?  Both have 30 day return, $100 apart and very similar build.  I plan on trying one of them with an Zen Ifi stream/ sonic transporter with roon sharing main speak... 
Favourite Guitarists
Nice list…Sooo Sooo many…. Gotta add Hendrix, Kossoff, Mike Bloomfield , Billy Gibbons, Joanne Shaw Taylor, John Mayer and Joe Walsh (way underrated).  
VTV D300 Digital amp
@ricevs thanks for the detailed info.  Very helpful and insightful.  Just would prefer a remote volume on the amp and not have to rely on ap’s, additional components or select streamers/players.  All Digital seems like a great way to go if you are...

Love the simplicity and value but what is the solution for remote volume control?  
Anthem STF Integrated ARC
This is where I would start get internet in your room.     I don’t have ARC so no help on the interface.  Good luck.  
A revolutionary way to raise the performance of your system for very little money
Thanks for sharing. I use a Russ Andrews ground RF router with nice results. His Superrouter is on my future to buy list. Has anyone compared the two (puritan to RA) of them? They sure look similar.  
Fritz Carrera or other possibilities!
@johnc5  I own a pair of the Rev5 SE and listen to them 2 channel near field and as fronts on my Home Theatre Midfi system.  Absolutely amazed at their sound quality for Midfi.  The driver’s are top notch and continually amaze me.  No need for a s...

Reliable Mid-Priced 7.2 Channel Receiver
Take a look at Pioneer Elite SC line.  They have nice quality Class D3 Amps and sound very good.  Big fan of Pioneer Elite AV Amps here.  Used are a bargain too!  
The Right Speaker Cables
Consider these super value cables.  I bought the cable and made my own with 100% copper spades and braided black sleeves. I was shocked how good they sound.  They replaced DH Labs q-10 sig and it wasn’t even close.  Fuller warmer sound with improv... 
Power conditioner vs use of a audio grade outlet?
Hard wire the power conditioner quality power cord directly to the outlet wiring removing two connection points, the male plug and outlet socket.  Less is more.  
Where should I go from here with my digital front end?
Add this to your optical set up.  It made a nice improvement over the wall plugs.  It has two cables and can power both FMC’s.  Optical made a big difference for my system.
