Sunlight....
Glad to hear of your success! It is indeed an interesting improvement. It appears this is the last upgrade of this unit. It will be interesting to see what the next generation unit brings to the table.  
Sunlight....
There were no issues installing the software on this end. If there is a spare card available to you, maybe download sunlight on that card and give it a try? That way your original software is preserved in case of incident.  
Sunlight....
Indeed it is. Just loaded it myself. Will give it a whirl in a bit.  
Power Conditioner vs A/C cables
“Is it necessary to buy expensive power cables downstream of a high-end power conditioner?”Neccessary - noPreferred - maybe  
Anyone else uncomfortable with PayPal’s payment process?
“In the end, I requested PayPay mail me a check (5-10 working days for delivery).”That’s impressive. I’ve tried the check route with PayPal with zero luck. The option always appears down or unavailable.  
I want a new to me CD player but need to have HDCD decoding capability
Maybe search HiFi Shark with that keyword. It may help guide you in the right direction.  
Bryston Certified Sound
Thanks for the report. Bryston gear is built to last.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
JFK - A Memorial Tribute 
Do you care about car audio?
It’s important enough. The Podcasts and Audible books are enjoyed during commutes. The smart phone is hooked to a Teac headphone amp then to the car head unit. Sounds pretty good. 
Cat Scratch Fever?
Perhaps it’s an overdose of Rock and Roll.... 
How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to?
575 here. Rotated as much as possible. The hoarding never stops.  
The Intellectual People Podcast - Legacy Audio (Bill Dudleston)
Will have to check it out as I own some of his gear. Thank you.  
Bill Schnee Chairman at the Board
Thank you for the heads up. Will have to check it out.  
Educate me please "Micro" AES/EBU digital cables.
It would appear the Micro is a scaled down version of the Platinum Starlight 8. $600 difference in cost per 1/2 meter.  
Impedance matching, why?
That is a very good question. I recently swapped out a Legacy amp for a Hafler XL-280 in a second system. The Legacy was making my ears bleed when paired with a Schiit Freya+. However, the Hafler is smooth as silk.
