Apple lossless as a source
Apple just updated AirPod Pro to accept high bit rate audio, but I don’t think that most Apple devices will transmit high bit rate via Bluetooth. Someone here will know the answer and I believe this is one reason that the post above discusses DAC ... 
Apple lossless as a source
Welcome. As you probably know by now, Apple Music isn’t well supported by the audio equipment manufacturers and for good reason.  Apple’s move to better quality streaming is pretty recent.  If products haven’t yet manifested, they probably will a... 
Are You a Swifty?
Not a fan.  Watch KPop girls groups sing and dance then watch her moves.  
Any one measured the EMI/RFI attenuation performance of audiophile power conditioners?
@audio_phool Give Shunyata a call and speak with Richard Rodgers. He is a valuable resource and can answer your technical questions. Juan at @blisshifi can answer your questions regarding Synergistic Research power products and can most likely ... 
Turntable advice
I think that all of us can see where this is going. Two fine turntables, but is the cartridge at the same level and we know that the built in phono stage needs to be upgraded to take advantage of such fine tables. Putting together an analog system... 
Any one measured the EMI/RFI attenuation performance of audiophile power conditioners?
Perhaps, if your power is very dirty, then you might be best to not use it. There is a current discussion on LiFePO4 batteries and pure sine wave inverters limping along on the Audiogon Forum.  Be warned, there is little forum interest in this top... 
Holo May Pre-amp
I’m curious what you find to be the weakness & strengths of the Holo May DAC KTE? This might give you some direction as to what preamps you want to look at. I’m using a McIntosh MA12000 integrated. The May is fed via an Aurender streamer and I... 
Qualities Of An End-game System
An “end game system” is the system that your spouse and kids inherit.  
What About LiFePO4 Batteries and Pure Sine Wave Inverters?
I’ll mention it here, now that Juan has made his entry. I went with a 3000 watt inverter vs Juan’s 2000. Also, his inverter advertises that it has low EMF. I went with a 300ah Lithium battery vs Juan’s 200ah. I did this as an attempt to keep the t... 
What About LiFePO4 Batteries and Pure Sine Wave Inverters?
The learning curve when putting your own battery/inverter system together is pretty steep.  The main goal is to not burn down your house and don’t fry your electronics.  To that end, understanding how cable gauge is determined is very important.  ... 
Whats playing on your system today?

Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
As long as you are where you want to be in the Aurender lineup, you can’t go wrong, but make sure you know what going one step up will do for you prior to signing on the dotted line.  Great components..

Unused gear…funny..  I usually buy my unused gear from a dealer.  I buy the gear with after tax money.  
Larry the Cable Guys
@jea48  Thanks for the link.  Very simple presentation and should be read by those considering, or rejecting power cord upgrades.  I hope that @jasonbourne71 has a chance to review the information.  His resistance to mindless upgrades has always ... 
if you had this system, what would you do to make it sound the best you can
Welcome and best with all the advice.  You might want to establish a budget.  How much do you want to spend on this first iteration of upgrades?  Maybe make the rounds and listen some decent systems.  Lastly, you will go much further dumping the a...
