Eversolo DMP A6
I have the Master Edition for my headphone setup. I also own a Holo Audio May KTE and Aurender N200 for my speaker system. I'm very impressed by what this does for $1299.   
Anyone else get burned Boltz
@hgeifman Since the order was all the way back in November, I'm pretty sure that ship has sailed! Hopefully he didn't pay in full.  
BEST CD TRANSPORT
@bolong Did you see the review on the Jay's Audio CDT3-MK3 in the May edition of Stereophile? John Atkinson's measurements were not very flattering! Because of the high noise it only offered 15 bits of information to the DAC versus 16 bit. It may ... 
Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions
In a different forum I'm in, people are raving about the new Eversolo DMP A6. It's under a $1000 and people who are coming from a Bluesound node and are shocked at the improvements! I purchased their Master Edition for my headphone setup. My home ... 
Parasound vs Coda
@bccarpenter I was also thinking about tubes but was wondering what my #8 would sound like with a decent tube preamp like Prima Luna EVO 400, Luxman or other somewhat high-quality tube preamp. Like yyzsantabarbara  I'm using an Audio Holo Serene K... 
Parasound vs Coda
I own a Coda #8 and in my opinion it is superior to Parasound. I was making the same considerations as you. I am lucky to live 15 minutes from the factory so not only did I buy direct from Doug Dale but he took me on a tour of their small facility... 
Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8
I bought the Master Edition for my headphone system a few days ago. My main system has an Aurender N200 and Audio Holo May DAC. I really needed something smaller for my desk and didn’t want to spend a ton of money. The Master Edition improved the ... 
XLR cable recommendations needed
I also highly recommend the Zavfino Fusion cables. They are in your price range and are very popular with Audiogon members. Do a search and you will find a long thread about them. I have 3-4 pairs myself.  
ROON?
By the end of the year Roon should be available for current Aurender models. They are going through the certification process right now.  
Tip for purchase new power cable
@marco777 My only question is why your only source for cables is EBAY?  
Burn in vs perception
I think BURN IN is the biggest hoax and misunderstanding there is in the Audiophile community! The statements people making about anything needing burn in makes no sense at all. The sound of the equipment is not changing but peoples own hearing an... 
Tidal hifi
I'm VERY HAPPY with the sound quality of Tidal Hifi. I had BOTH Tidal and Qobuz for several months and just recently decided to cancel Qobuz. Ignore the Tidal haters and listen with your own ears. I have an extremely resolving system and Qobuz doe... 
Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp?
I own the TWL 7 Plus, 10 Plus and digital power cable but unfortunately, I have nothing to compare it to. The quality of these cables does seem very good though.  
New, Very Interesting CD Transport
When I was younger people used to say Japanese items were junk! Boy how times have changed! MANY Audiophile and other non-audio related products are made in China and are very high quality! It's all dependent on the quality control that is being u... 
Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less **
Just make sure the amp is capable to easily handle 4-ohm loads. I was using an amp that was 90 watts into 4 ohms and I was surprised at how good it sounded. It was capable of moderate listening levels with no problems, but I did notice it got very...
