T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components
@garfield01 or @david_ten, Have either of you you heard the T+A MP3100HV SACD player? There was a dealer on the Audio Shark forum who said he loved the 3000 series disc players but felt T+A lost their way with the 3100 series disc players.    
Why People Like Tekton
Here is a quote from Thomas & Stereo (the guy in the video) from the youtube page for this video: "For those people who prefer musical speakers over analytical speakers, these should be consider. Do keep in mind that they are VERY big and you... 
when did it all get so complicated?
How much do you want to spend?  The Bluesound Node 2i is the cheapest easiest way to be streaming like a pro in no time, BUT the DAC is pretty average.  The list price is $600 but I'm sure you could get a discount, or they show up here used pretty... 
Please explain Shunyata Python/Alpha lineup
This might help: Audio Federation - Shunyata Price List It describes the differences between some of the cables you mentioned and that information may help you with the rest.  
PS Audio BHK Signature Preamp?
PS Audio has their own forums, I'm sure you could get many opinions there.  Of course, most would probably be positive.  I'm not complaining about you posting here.  I'd be interested in what others here have to say too.  
Paypal Changes for 2022
If you go into your Audiogon account, click on the BUYING link, then click on the BOUGHT tab you will find the equipment you bought on Audiogon, the price you paid and the date you purchased it. You can do the same thing for items you sell. It w... 
Best streamers WITHOUT a DAC
Lumin U1 and 432 EVO (that’s a brand from Belgium) are two that come to mind.

Sad news.  He put on quite a festival.  A reminder to not waste time fighting on the Audiogon forums, or any others.  
432 EVO
Thanks @thyname for hunting down that article.  That does make it clear.  If you're looking for a more organic, analog sound; try the 432.  It MAY be worth $5500 to you.  If that's not something you're looking for, an Intel NUC is probably all you... 
432 EVO
I think Juan should clear up what he thinks about the 432. His statements on Facebook are too vague.  He likes the Intel NUC but every NUC is going to sound different based on the skills of the person turning it into an audio streamer, so that's n... 
432 EVO
Thanks @thyname.  I hope he clears his thoughts up.  
432 EVO
I agree with david_ten that pf needs to have someone else review the 432 or have Juan C. Ayllon clarify what his opinion of the 432 is. Is it this (from the conclusion): The 432 EVO High End Music Server is a remarkable player, making good on its... 
432 EVO
@thyname, You left this part of the "Where's the Magic?" section of the review out: I recalled reading a passage that warned not to use the USB 3.0 ports to connect the audio, as they were noisier than the USB 2.0 port which I couldn't seem to fi... 
first US review 432 evo music server
Congrats on the nice review, Dave.  It's nice that the 432 can act as a roon core as well as a server. I recently upgraded my CD player/DAC and found that the sound quality of Qobuz through a roon Nucleus no longer measured up to my CDs.  So I'm ... 
Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like?
I know my system doesn’t sound like live music. In many cases that’s a good thing, my system sounds better than live music. If I went to a lot of classical chamber or symphonic concerts and I could afford the good seats, I might try to reproduce t...
