Apple TV Set Up
First, why stream Tidal from your laptop? They have an app for your Apple (but now I see that it's an older model so maybe not). So, OK second instead of changing your laptop audio out use Airplay for the output choice in Tidal prefs and your App...

Jeff Beck”Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers”not really a solo, just the entire song.  
Lack of Female Representation
@ghasleyMy God, at least he answered the question rather than attacking someone. And for the record, I agree with ncbassplayer. My wife couldn't be more different than me, in culture, religion, politics or interest. She is all woman and understand...

Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them!
In 2012 when I decided to hop back into HiFi I jumped on a Peachtree Nova and some discounted Wharfedale towers. OK sound but hard to tailor in my downtown loft with many hard surfaces (no tone controls) plus the DAC was outdated almost immediatel...

Advice on CD transport

Mid Range Streamer DAC recommendation help requested!
Enjoying my NAD C658 but only because I couldn’t afford the Mytek BB. What are you planning to stream to? This was another reason I went with Blueos, future expandability in his-def. Your mileage may vary.... 
What are the sexiest components ever made?
Well I have a penchant for older models. When I'm on the move, I enjoy a reliable, always ready Sansui G-3500. So Beautiful with a nice BIG pair of knobs to look at while I'm streaming from the Echo hooked-up to her AUX input, if you know what I m...
