Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC

To recap,
Mac with iTunes  > long usb cable > Aeris dac > AQ Wel > JR 625S > Wilson Sabrinas.
System doubles for TV audio with TV in between speakers.

A few points :-
1: CD ripping with iTunes - lossy or lossless compression - AIFF/ALAC or just MP3?
2. TV in between speakers - ? interference from EMR, RFI
- ? interference with soundstage
3. JR 625S - v. expensive amps, still on demo at home or fully paid for?
4. AQ Wel - ? forgotten
5. Now looking at preamp despite good sound direct from dac to amps which are not well burned in yet
6. Aeris dac and Wilson Sabrinas - bought or gifted? broken in? separate components that came without amps?
7. Devialet - expensive but...not working?

Very puzzling......

Not really puzzling. A little chaotic but it's controlled chaos.
Women are not men. Let us pray for that in Old Persian.

Jon - what's so puzzling?
rinpoche indicated earlier  that she purchased the amps and that they were dealer demos.
What difference does it make how she got the dac and speakers - she's had them and said she likes them
She already said that she wasn't in a position to rearrange her room; a lot of us have to live with constraints on maximizing listening experience 
She said that she had been offered a cable to trade the Devialet for , apparently it works   
Throughout the thread rinpoche has said she was considering a preamp  but was looking for opinions on whether to stay with DAC or insert one. She  indicated she probably wait a year on the preamp. People are entitled to change their minds if they think they see value, does she need someone else's permission?

Inna , time to give the male female nonesense a break . 

Time for you to stay quiet, facten.

Let's not make this a gender issue, when it is all about preamps. Also, my purchases have been very clear and so have my goals. Not that I need approval here. I need(ed) suggestions and recommendations. Many of which have been very good and I have taken to heart. 

The preamp has always been part of the vision for the overall system. That is not the issue. I have listened to the system (as I wrote) and, to my ears, it sounds complete with a preamp.

Where the individual parts come from is also not an issue that you 'all need to be concerned with, but just so you have it straight the speakers, DAC, and amp are broken in (just not all by me). 

The Devialet has nothing to do with this. Nor does the USB? And yes, HD files on itunes — So, let's move on and maintain the kindness and civility we have maintained for 10 pages. I was just running by an ad for a preamp I noticed. All the best, R
