Which USB Cable best for my new USB DAC
Thanks for your comments on your Telurian Q Ultra Silver Cable.  They are pricey! Your comments about breaking in remind me again how amazed I always am when I read about the necessity to break in our audio products.  I suppose that is a tell tale... 
Will an Auralic Vega best my Meridian 508.24 significantly?
Sboje,  your mention of a Meridian 508.24 caught my eye because I have one sitting around because it needs a new transport.  I have always loved its sound.  While I don’t understand how you want to repurpose your Meridian, I was wondering if you c... 
Decisions! Decisions! How to get into Streaming and how to get over my Audiophile Roots
Eric -  Start simple is probably good advice.  I am really so tired of data diving and if I choose Sonos and it turns out to sound too LoFi, I can probably sell, recoup some money and buy something more Hi-Fi.  The truth is I rarely listen that cr... 
Decisions! Decisions! How to get into Streaming and how to get over my Audiophile Roots
amg—How do you like Roon?  It’s been recommended to me because it can search/find  the music you like to play best.  But it seems costly for just doing that and nothing else.  Or am I missing something?

Help—How to Marry High Bitrate Digital Streamers to Two Channel Audio Systems
2psysop,  Are you suggesting it’s not necessary to rip my CDs because most everything is on Tidal anyway?  Even opera and classical music?  Regardless,  Bluesound sounds like a no go for me anyway if it involves a lot of sitting, my aging back jus...

Oppo exploring additional production of UDP 205
Just ordered one too.  Called my local Magnolia (San Carlos, CA) and the salesman told me they were out of store inventory but would check with their midwestern warehouse and get an answer back to me by Tuesday or Wednesday.  I knew that’d be too ...
