Everything Matters With Digital
I’ve been upgrading my digital coax cable slowly, for a couple years. THERE ARE BIG SOUND DIFFERENCES IN DIGITAL CABLES. If you can’t hear the difference:1. You aren’t a good listener 2. Your system is not revealing enough. 3. You made a lateral m...

Tannoy Canterbury. Does everything great and pairs nicely with SET amplification.  
What's the best non-DAC streamer?
Anyone using the Lumin U1 mini (streamer only) with external DAC and notice a worthy improvement over their previous streamer (using same DAC)?if so, was it worth the $2k for the Lumin U1 mini? If not worth it, was the improvement similar to a cab... 
DAC upgrade suggestion
I’m pretty happy with Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ and Bluesound Node 2 (just for the streamer). I don’t know how the others compare and would love to do a bunch of a/b, but at least no fatigue here.Line Magnetic LM805ia amp.

I can prove your room is bad
I'm in the process of purchasing a subwoofer array (DEBRA). It's supposed to greatly diminish the room problems/ need for lots of treatment. We'll see.  
Linear Power supply for dedicated line
Thanks MC. The lines are going in, but I'll do a A/B so I can gain knowledge on if and how much difference in sound. By the way, Thanks to you, I'm going with the DEBRA system. Should hopefully have it in a week or 2.  
Suggestions for $2k budget
Not only will you not be disappointed, you will love them! Tannoy XT8F.I had them on Class A tube, Class D and vintage A/B amplifiers with both analog and digital sources. They sounded great on all of them. In my humble opinion, you’d have to spen... 
External DAC connection for Bluesound Node 2i (after "Another streaming newbie" thread)
Wifi connected Node 2 with Shunyata power cord for the Node2, Audioquest “Carbon” coax then to Mytek Brooklyn+ DAC which runs off an external “SBooster” power supply with “Signalcable” power chord.I did one-by-one over the course of 1.5 years and ... 
New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound?
Check out the Mytek Brooklyn Dac+. If you want one with a streamer, check out Bluesound Node 2i.The Mytek is a higher quality sound and in your budget, but the Bluesound isn’t far behind and is a fraction of the price. 
Diving into the world of tubes...help needed!

Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d
Line Magnetic 805ia here and it’s awesome! Looking to roll some tubes soon.Primaluna sounded great as well, but the Line Magnetic sounds a little warmer and more open..to me.  
Sub advice needed
Thanks for the input thus far. Any suggestions for a particular brand or model? Ported or Sealed? 8, 10 or 12 inch? I prefer accurate, tight bass without boominess. Will be 2 ch. music only. 
Wanted: Shunyata VTX-09 JUMPER for speakers
