New Cary DMS 700
Larrymanadgnplease try the SD card. The finest sound available on the 600 so sure the same with the 700.

The 600 sounded good out of the box but probably a couple of weeks for top performance.   
Aurender question regarding which tablet ?
Buy a 1st generation IPad wi-fi for 150 bucks. Makes a great remote. I had a N100 and a A10 and work perfect.

Any of these ship yet? 
New at Qobuz - no HiRes sound
Anyway of getting the Teac in silver?  I am just seeing black. Thanks,Russ

Do not think any have been shipped yet. Hopefully the 700 will have the detail of the Lumin T2 without the etch over long term listening in a brighter side of neutral system.  The T2 is a real nice player if you have the matching  room/electronics... 
FUSES, Finally!?
Looks like you may have integrated power cords? Install an IEC connector and upgrade your power cord. Much cheaper and an larger sonic bump. You can always get a 3 for 2 deal on the SR. I have 4 blacks on the rails of my monos and an Orange in the... 
Paradigm Persona B vs 3F vs other competitors - any experience?

Paradigm Persona B vs 3F vs other competitors - any experience?
Is that a Musicbook?  How you like it?  I have the 5 fs w/ a swarm sub system. Are you getting enough low end with the 3f’s?  Can’t help but think you would need a sub w/ the B’s.   I just switched over to Silversmith Fidelium speaker cables and t... 
Preamp choices:Short list
I have a Rogue rp 7 and really enjoy it    Not a real tubey or mushy sound.  Nice deep layered soundstage ,with just a hint of warmth , Upgrade the stock JJ tubes to a good NOS and you will be in good shape.I can only compare to a Modwright Annive...

I have a 1tb ssd connected with USB. Also a 128 G SD card into its integrated SD player. You can use its digital usb out if you want to use it just as a streamer or any of its digital ins to use as a Dac.  Very flexible peice.  
Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i
See if you can find a deal on a Aries Femto w/LPS.  I had a BDP -1 and reminded me of a 1985 CD player.  Hard and cold sounding. Can’t think you would be happy with it.  
Any Cambridge users on Tidal? Differences in Tidal levels?
I got a bud who has a modded CXN  and loves Tidal , but is using Roon. Silly not to try it for free.
