Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder
I’ve had a pair of the Ohm 2000’s for about a month and they just seem to get better as time goes by. The bass on this model goes down to 32hz and that’s just about right for my tastes so I haven’t felt the need to supplement with a sub. The highs... 
Schiit Bifrost vs. the original Peachtree Dac-it
When I was comparing DAC's Amazon would show , frequently bought together,  pairing the D50 with the IPower low noise power supply which costs $50 so it came to about $300 total. I went with a different dac and don't know why they don't supply som... 
can anyone help me........
If there is a rotel dealer close by have you tried a demo of their newer players like the  1572?  
Dealing with a power amp that need 20A connection
I can't tell from the OP  original post if the amp is standard 120 volt or 240 volt. If it's 120 then an adapter  would work or better yet contact ARC give them the serial number and they could either sell you the right cord or advise on a proper ... 
Bluesound Vault 2i, Cocktail Audio X40 or ??????????
The Benchmark doesn't unfold MQA but it does play MQA in 24/96.  
Bluesound Vault 2i, Cocktail Audio X40 or ??????????
Benchmark DAC 3B and I use my wife for blind testing. I know it is not a perfect test but if she asks why it sounds so much better then it works for me.  
Streamer always on?
Not sure I never had the node 2. Actually I hold for 5 seconds not 3 and it's called vacation mode , I assume it's powered down as it will not respond to the app until I wake it up by touching the play / pause again on the unit.  
Streamer always on?
I power down my Node2i at night before bed. You hold the play / pause in the center of the top control for 3 seconds to power it down.  
Bluesound Vault 2i, Cocktail Audio X40 or ??????????
I ripped my CD's with dbpoweramp to wav file . I didn't change any settings other than  rip to wav and where to store the files and my Node2i found them without any problem when I hooked it up and built the index.  Maybe dbpoweramp stores in the f... 
I would love some suggestions on great acoustic...

Has any inexpensive Asian DAC manufacturer harnessed the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO Chip?
I thought Oppo quit making digital equipment? 
Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
I used to have the micromega M100. I only sold it because I wasn t using the room correction , hence my recommendation of the Ohm speakers. It was a very nice amp sound wise and I never heard the fan , forgot it even had one.  
Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
Ohm Walsh 1000 or the Super Sound Cylinder for a small room. No need for room correction just put a good amp in front of them.  
What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles?
Another unknown group that's been around for about 20 some odd years , Small Potatoes,  they have a couple CD on tidal " Waltz of the Wallflowers" is pretty good. American folk I know not everyone's cup of tea but a fun little group to listen to.  
Difference between ESS Sabre Burr Brown Wolfson DACs
Hard to say what is best , it seems ESS and AK chips are used a lot now. Wolfson is now made by Cirrus Logic. I would try to listen to a few different DAC's and see what I like.
