Whats playing on your system today?
Glenn Hughes played with another guitar great Tommy Bolin in Deep Purple. Tommy Bolin's 2 solo albums are certainly worth checking out. Teaser from 1975 and Private Eyes from 1976.

Another vote for Rory Gallagher! Just listened to "Blueprint". One of the most underrated Guitarists IMHO. Some absolutely wicked slide playing on "Race The Breeze". 
Rega DAC problems
I can't try that out as my Squeezebox Touch only supports 24/96 and below and downsamples 24/192 to 24/96.I hear you though as I picked up the Rega DAC for all it's inputs and Blu Ray Audio, SACD and DVD-Audio won't benefit from these connections ... 
Rega DAC problems
My Blu Ray Player is connected by coax to the Rega DAC and shows 44.1-48k with Blu Ray Audio as I stated but Redbook CD's played on that player show 88.2-96k and I know they are 44.1. I think the Player is upsampling as I have a Logitech Squeezebo... 
Rega DAC problems
I came across this post recently and experienced the same things with Blu Ray Audio Discs running into my Rega DAC. I had it explained to me that it is a copyright protection issue with Blu Ray and will only output CD quality through the digital o... 
Squeezebox quality
You can pick up a Squeezebox Touch used here on Audiogon for about $300 or less. I have used one for about 4 years now and it has proved to be very reliable. The first 3 years I ran it with it's analogue outs and sound was surprisingly good. The l...

I am running version  7.7.5 of the Logitech Media Server which I believe is the latest version. 
Is Logitech Media Server running clean on Windows 10?
My PC came with Windows 8 and I went to 8.1 eventually. About 2 months ago I upgraded to Windows 10. I have had no problems using Logitech Media Server. I have noticed no differences with everything working fine as it did before.My PC is 64 Bit an... 
What's the greatest bargain in DAC's these days?
With the introduction of the Rega DAC-R at $1200 it is now possible to find good deals on used Rega DAC (first version that sold for $1000).They are selling for about $500 used and are supposed to be very analog sounding. May be a good choice for ... 
Revel Proforma 206 w/Primaluna HP integrated?
I just bought a pair of Revel Proforma f206's and the sensitivity is 88db. I run them with an Acurus A-250 solid state amp and a Cary SLP-88 Tube preamp and they sound very good once I broke them in. The Cary preamp replaced an Acurus Solid State ... 
Review: Denon DVD 2900 Surround Pre
Had a similar positive experience with a Denon DVD-2930ci.Bought it brand new warrantied on a Black Friday closeout sale for $169.99. It retailed for $849.00. I was going to use it for SACD and DVD-V and DVD-A as I had a Jolida JD-100A for Redbook...

Great thread Earlxtr! I have enjoyed reading all the comments and your progress.My room is about 23 feet by 23 feet but behind my system is a 4 foot wall with a staircase behind it and opens to the right of that to another room. I have the F206's ... 
Revel F208 Review by Earl
Mike_f makes a great point on how one component can make such a difference. I just purchased the F206's new from a dealer and had a similar experience. Out of the box too bright and little bass. After hours of break in sound got more balanced and ... 
Audio out to RCA input on new Sony TV's?
My Sony HDTV has an optical digital out. I run a toslink optical cable to a DAC and then into my preamp for 2 channel stereo. Sound is surprisingly good. This would mean using a DAC and going to the "digital out" on your TV and setting it for PCM....
