Streamer/DAC/Crossover Combo
I keep hearing about miniDSP but don't know much about it or it's SQ.   
Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested
@dbeckwith It is great to ask others for their impressions, however, it would be best if you can listen to the Sonetto’s as well as many other speakers as you can. Music often appeals to people on an emotional level such that when you hear the ’r...

@signaforce There appears to be conflicting info coming from Aurender. I was considering a used N150 from a fellow audiogoner. I wrote Aurender and they wrote back and told me it is not transferable. If your version is the correct version, thanks... 
Sharing a subwoofer between a Stereo and HT combination.
I went through the same upgrade path recently. Unfortunately, I don’t have a separate music room. I started with an amp powered by the pre-amp output from the AVR. It was better, however, your eventual goal should be to remove the AVR from the cha... 
Aurender Conductor App Question
Thanks Audphile1  
Aurender Conductor App Question
Yes.  That is very helpful.  Thanks.  A person on another forum, Audiophile Style was super helpful as well and posted screen shots.  I think I can also make a playlist the queue, and then show the queue in the large area on the lower RHS.  Not 10... 
Cary vs Raven
@ghdprentice is spot on.  I got my speakers and am now adjusting/upgrading electronics to match my taste in music and the speakers.  IMO, it is much easier to swap out an amp or preamp then speakers given the cost and size.  And less expensive, at...

@evank   Just the opposite, I said I have an open mind and that I don't understand, from a technical standpoint, why it would sound different.  There are lots of things I don't understand from a technical standpoint.  : )

@signaforce I feel the same as you.  I think my system sounds amazing with the Node and I don't understand, from a technical standpoint, how a different streamer will improve the sound.  That being said I will eventually try one so my and I can ju...

@signaforce I am one of many interested in your honest impressions of the N150 in comparison to your Node. Some people notice a difference and others don’t probably due in part to all the other variable.    
Revel Salon2s: Seeking Advice
IMO, these speakers are both great, but as others have said, are voiced differently.    I think you would really need to listen to them.  I don't think they will sound the same so you want to decide which you personally prefer.    
Ipad pro + Ethymotic Er4 SR, brilliant
I am not sure of the exact configuration you used, but the DAC/Amp is, IMO, in the dongle that connects to the IPAD.  I recall it was tested on a respected web site and it measured very well.    
CODA #16 vs Benchmark AHB2 | Yamaha NS500 Speaker
Thanks for posting.  I have an AHB2 and the DAC3 and I find others impressions interesting as I chart out my upgrade path.  For what it is and what it costs, the AHB2 is pretty amazing.  I am not suggesting it the best amp ever.  The fact that you... 
Pass Labs Mono Block Question
Thanks.   
Another post about a streamer upgrade
You don't have to jump so far up the Aurender line.  The N150 would be entry point if you are shopping based on cost to an upper level streamer brand.  I think if you shop around, you will find a dealer willing to discount.  I suggest shopping use...
