@lowrider57  Come on, give us a recommendation. I have a Node2i and looking for an external DAC.  
Religious music for less than devout
Van Morrison: "In The Garden", "Whenever God Shines His Light On Me", “When Will I Ever Learn to Live in God?",  “If I Ever Needed Someone”. There are others.  
Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer

Remember on Discogs you can sort by condition. I only buy NM and usually have no problems.  
Brightness
All this negativity towards the GCPH......... I had one with the Underwood Mods and it is no way bright. What cartridge is he using and what load setting? Also, as mentioned above VTA problem? 
DAC Output 192/16 vs. 192/24 Will I Hear A Difference
Thanks, your responses have been helpful.

Not sure I understand your answer. Yes, I can use a short cable (.5 meter). Why is 2m safer?

@mapman Great choice. My original pressing is still NM. 
Headshell recommendations for AT33SA on SL1200G
@rauliruegas Do you have any recommendations for headshell leads? 
Fairly new to streaming. Where to start?
I'm going to give my Node2i to my son, so I will also be looking for a streamer only upgrade. I would prefer to use a separate DAC, perhaps Orchid.

I have a Node2i that I purchased on USAM  a couple of weeks ago. I had drop outs and on the recommendation of someone on this  forum I got this and now use a wired connection:  https://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear-universal-wi-fi-range-extender-w...
