Qobuz hell
I have done a Qobuz trial twice because of all the praise here. Both times I cancelled before the trial end and received an email confirmation saying thank you and that I can continue using it until the full trial time is over…. No issues here. Du... 
Streamer for mostly Qobuz with volume control
Check out the iFi Stream.  Plays way above it’s $399.  I have one on my second system with LPS and optical isolation on the ethernet feed.  It really sounds amazing for its price.  It has an AP that allows volume control, USB or coax input. Roon, ... 
Topping P50 power supply, + Zen Streamer + Topping E50 DAC
Sure enough…I bought a new Topping P50 and it works perfectly with my Zen Stream.  The open box one must have been defective.  Glad I gave it a second try it is a nice improvement over stock plug.  
Bricasti M5 vs Ultrarendu Advice?

Topping P50 power supply, + Zen Streamer + Topping E50 DAC

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...

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...
