musician aquarius r2r dac any good?
@tjag I have no issue with your problem 1 & 2. But #3 does worry me though. I do not know how the DAC will interact with my transport (window 10 machine). My question is: why do you pick the terminator over the Aquarius if the terminator will...

@dubz thanks for the infor! how do you describe the sound of the Pegasus?

@anzaanimalclinic You put word into my mouth! I would never compared the Aquarius to the Terminator. They are belonging to a different leagues. The Aquarius can only be compared to lower tier of Denafriqs DAC. Having said that, have you ever hear... 
musician aquarius r2r dac any good?
@auroravengeance yes, I agree Denafriqs and Musician are basically the same design, But different voicing though. Musician also use better part inside which is why I prefer the Musician. But, I imagine I would be more than happy with the May or De... 
musician aquarius r2r dac any good?
I also want to mention: My Macintosh system is capable of extracting very fine detail from a good recording. I found it out by borrowing a very expensive DCS Bartok DAC from my buddy. Of course, I have no money for that. But, I am looking for some...

@soix about 40 inches from the front wall and 9 feet between the speakers  
musician aquarius r2r dac any good?
@soix  I do not want to replace the Mcintosh gears because they match so well with my b&w speakers. I have tried other branches of amplifier and like none of them. My Chord is actually quite bright, but lack detail. I want a more transparent ...

I forget to mention, my system consisted of Chord Qutest (will be replaced) -> MC220 ( Mcintosh Preamp) -> MC352 (power amp) - > b&w 805 d3s (speakers). My Quest sounds fine, but I am looking for a more transparent sound with deeper ... 
Dynaudio Confidence C1 MKI treble
These are soft doom tweeter, what else can you expect?  
Thinking about a McIntosh Preamp
mc preamp goes well with mc power amp 
Active VS Passive speakers and, specifically, Elac Navis ARB51 as the active speaker?
What is your goal? What are you trying to achieve? Room dimension, listening habit, music and genre reference? Home theater or stereo? Your question is very loaded. You have to specify what you need to get the answer. 
Wow. Just added the Lumin T2 to my set up...
@fuzztone, I have tried the Raspi. It is a lot worse than Mac Mini. Sorry for bursting your bubble.  
Is JRiver still the best software?
I have compared Jriver against the latest Roon software (1.8), and Jriver is still better than Roon if sound quality is the only thing you care about. Do you know that you can use Roon interface to control Jriver driver ? 
Single vs. Dual Subs
Using a Dual Rel T7i subs make my soundstage become wider and deeper, comparing to one subs only. Also, the bass goes deeper and smoother. I am not a scientist, so I don't know how to explain it, I can only report what I observe. Also, placing the... 
preamp vs amp: relative effect on sound?
My "fun" system which I use for music and HT purposes consisted of Wharfedale Opus-3, Krell KRC-3 and Adcom 5802. My preamp is nearly twice the price of my power amp, but I think it is the best way to bring out the sound quality of my system. I sw...
