@audphile1  I removed the network card, sounds better without it. The Mac goes into the DSD via a very nice USB.   Ive gotten some nice suggestions and I'm doing ok.   As to sound, I can say the trope words, Smooth Warm Rich Musical Deep Real...

@Rolox  I do have them on stands  do to the outrageous generosity of Doyle. And I do have a lightly activated sub. The H4's are 4 feet off the wall and 7 ft apart.

@vonhelmholtz  I use streaming services only to audition music. If I like a record enough to purchase I look DSD or as high a resolution I can find and purchase it. I am a DSD file guy. I look at streaming like someone in the 70's looked at radio.
