| Best way to hook up a streamer. Specifically Lumin T2 DTX, enjoy your T2, I've had mine about 1 year and am very satisfied. I leave it in standby mode with the screen turning off after 15 minutes of idle time. My amp only has RCA inputs so that's what I use. JackD is correct to use the XLR connection... | |
| Some basic computer audio questions McRib, when I had a MacMini audio setup, I usb connected to a Dac (from the Mini) then to my integrated amp. I used a headless set up so I could view the library on an iPad. Now that I have gone to a one box dedicated streamer-dac I'm getting bett... | |

| Power Conditioners I recommend an Audioquest Powerquest 2....short money and it's designed to protect your gear from surges etc. It's a piece that "financially" fits your current rig. It offers protection. As others have said, you'll have to spend pretty substantia... | |
| What is the best thing for me to upgrade next? Eisen,if you seek informed responses you need to state your budget and what you hope to accomplish. I'm not being critical but your post is not specific enough. | |

| Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear. IMO, you have to know how to "interpret" these articles. I appreciate when a reviewer tells you up front what gear is being used. I like John Darko and Herb Reichert a lot. They are easy for me to understand. I also like Clement Perry at Stereo Ti... | |
| Question on streaming, ripping etal...... I ripped a similar sized CD collection to a SSD, which is plugged into my Lumin T2 streamer dac. I found that sometimes my ripped CD collection has selections my current Qobuz service does not. However, the streaming library is so broad and gettin... | |
| streaming source +1 Big Greg's accurate description. I had used Tidal for several years but switched to Qobuz. I didn't feel like supporting JayZ and resented Tidal's "hi rez" MQA selections that forced you to buy decoding dacs. Qobuz sound quality is just peachy. | |
| Yet another Integrated vs Separates advice post I have been the "separates" route with lots of boxes on lots of shelves. Now I have a fairly simple set up (only two boxes) and have no desire to have a forest of cables ever again. IMO, separates are great if you change gear regularly or are a re... | |
| Lumin D2 or U1 Mini U1 Mini....keep the dac you are now using. | |
