| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 @mitch2 A few weeks ago, I brought my EVO to a fellow Agon members home so he could hear it in his system. He also uses a DX L3 and @grannyring 's "double-smoked" USB cable. Th EVO sounded *excellent* in this member's system - which is very nic... | |
| Ayre Codex vs. ESS SABRE ES9010K2M (Yamaha AS801) Congrats on the A-S801, @soundchasr. I've had one for a number of years in a second system, and think it is a great value. Read the 6moons review on it if you haven't already - "The A-S801 pounds hard on that HighEnd door." The variable loudnes... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 @mitch2 - agree with everything you say about the importance of power sections - and Ben does a great job there. The EVO weights 29 pounds! Definitely trial the EVO if you can. PM me if you live in Florida - maybe we can connect. I'm bringin... | |

| Looking for streamer The DCS Network bridge has native Deezer support. I bought mine used about a year ago. Very happy with it.SimAudio has the Moon Mind2 that supports Deezer, too. Reviews are hard to find, but the few owners I contacted directly were all pleased ... | |
| Power Conditioners I installed the UBER-BUSS power conditioner from Pi Audio Group in my system about 6 weeks ago. I have all components plugged into it.It was an improvement in SQ for my system, in my house. No loss of dynamics or details - in fact, improvement th... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO After about a month of having the EVO, one morning I heard a significant hum out of my speakers. I changed the position of the ground switch on the EVO and that fixed it. I couldn't tell you what the original and current position is, but I can lo... | |

I looked into measuring "noise" on my AC mains, and the least expensive approach would be about $800 to purchase the necessary equipment - and I was unsure if I would be able to actually do it accurately and more importantly, safely.I would need s... | |
| Suggestions for solid state balanced linestage with remote, $2000 or less I'm in the same situation. My early research has me interested in the Belles Aria Preamp - $1600. (not balanced) | |
| Best cheap integrated amp If you're set on new, and not used or refurb, at $500 or less - I'd consider the Denon PM-600NE integrated - $399. Steve Guttenberg had positive things to say about it - and the customer reviews are almost universally positive. Not a lot of powe... | |
| System- so many questions Some options you could consider near term that could help squeeze more out of your digital front end: 1- Replace the switch mode power supplies on your cable modem and Netgear router. I recommend the Sbooster LPS ($400), but you could try less e... | |

| Looking for "perfect" streamer.... @soundchasr,Most of the streaming component apps won't have all of the same features as the native streaming services app.Like the Node2i, the DCS Mosaic app for my Network Bridge also does not have the Deezer thumbs up/down. But, I use the Deeze... |
