Favorite cable brand.
I like harmonic technology and acoustic Zen because they use OCC single crystal wire which has been shown to be the best wire for audio for over 40 years now and their prices are a lot less than audioquest and wireworld which also use OCC single c... 
This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree
I'm sorry that I'm laughing but what price range are you looking at that looks like at best and I'm being very nice midfi. 
Got a Node 2i, what's next?
There are dacs out there that sound just as good as vinyl, read the reviews on the wyred for sound 10th anniversary. Go to their site and look up the review by 10 audio, the reviewer put it up against this VPI turntable with a 5800.00 Japanese car... 
My conclusion: mid level $$ analog vs digital
Yeah but your digital isn't very good the chord qutest isn't that great. 
Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship?
You can get original packaging from SIM it's a double box and it should be okay to ship that way. 
Has any inexpensive Asian DAC manufacturer harnessed the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO Chip?
But Ess 9038 pro chip is very difficult to work with, so I don't think the Chinese have the expertise to be able to implement it properly, one of the best decks that's made in the US is using it wyred for sound 10th anniversary dac, and the review... 
Topping Dacs D-50, DX-7, and DX7s
If it's not the pro then it's not the top ESS saber chip. The top chip is the 9038 pro. And it's incredible sounding very analog, I have it in my wyred for sound 10th anniversary dac. It's very difficult to work with so I don't know if the Chinese...

Sim audio is in Quebec but they do have an outlet in Buffalo I believe but then they'll still truck it over to Quebec anyways. 
Never Use HiFi-Exquis - Worst Merchant Ever!
Maybe you  dumbasses should learn not to deal with products and merchants from China, are you people like stupid, it's a communist country,give your heads a shake and learn from your stupidity. Don't deal with merchants in China!!! 
Best Bang for your Buck DAC ?
Wyred for sound 10th anniversary dac. At 4,500 us it's one of the best dacs on the market right now at any price. I put it up against the Sim audio dac which is $15,000 Canadian and it left it in the dust. Very analog sounding and very accurate. T... 
Best Bang for your Buck DAC ?
Well you have to go pretty high up I guarantee you $1,000 dac will not sound as good as a $5,000 dac at that point you're hitting the point of diminishing returns. 
Magico Customer service
I'm not that impressed with magical for the money it's way overpriced and it sure is ugly looking just metal boxes at least monitor audio platinum has 11 layers of hand polished lacquer on it and there's still only one quarter of the price and sou...

Yes I'd like to see a picture of your system kenjit because I don't mind telling people what I have and showing a picture as well and I haven't got the most expensive system in the world but mine is worth $60,000 Canadian. 
Looking for recommendations for a pair of full range speakers for ~8k or under
You might want to try the monitor audio gold 300 Gen 5 extremely beautiful sunny speakers specially with that multi-pleated diaphragm tweeter. 
Simaudio P8/W8 or Latest 740P/860A????
I was told by Sim audio that the p8 is much better than the 740p so I would also assume that the w8 is better than the 860 A.
