Distortion from Audio Rack ??
@russf1  If you are willing to spend the money on IsoAcoustics then I’d suggest you get Stack Audio AUVA Eq’s for about the same money. They are far better than the Orea, I’ve replaced all of them (Orea) with the AUVA EQ’s. The improvement was une... 
CODA 8 V1
@robshaw   Glad you are enjoying your Coda, they kinda fly under the radar but are stellar performers.  
Tube DAC with i2s input?
Look at a Terminator 15th from Audioman58. About $5500 from him. It will accept your i2s. It R2R and excellent.  
Magnepan 1.7i and want to upgrade to something bigger....louder....what do I get?
Legacy Audio ROCK! Look at the FOCUS SE.   
Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer
I've had TaiHang a week now, one thing is for sure, it's quiet no matter what. Today it's hot out, the A/C is running, my wife has the washer  and dryer going and there is still silence, no line noise at all. These Stack Audio AUVA EQ's are excell...

Coda is seriously good stuff, I love my Coda S5.5.  
Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile?
I think it is most useful to have a members pictures posted when they are seeking advice about making a change or solving a problem. You can get a point of reference to give them some guidance. I find it hard to be helpful when they list a bunch o... 
Denafrips offer to replace my faulty Pontus 15th, for a replacement fee?
The new 15th versions has a 1 year warranty, which you have exceeded. Vinshine used to cover up to 3 years, but they are not the distributor anymore. Look at the very bottom of this page; Warranty 12 months.  https://www.denafrips.com/product-page... 
Upcoming Move - Questions Ethernet Cable, Modem/Router, Ethernet Run & Electrical
FWIW I have my router far away (35 feet) from my rig, I run a long cat 8 to an LHY switch located near the Rig on the top shelf. That router is the main router, there is another upstairs linked to it. From the switch there is a .5 M of DH labs Cat... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!

@pkthesublime  Glad it worked out.   
Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer
I received my TaiHang today. I have it all hooked up and will wait a few days to pass on my impressions. Everything needs to settle back in. I kinda moved some things around to make a spot for it.  Ordered June 13th, Shipped July 8 and received on... 
EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S
Denafrips DAC's require a minimum of 200 hours before they start to settle down. By 500 hours they really don't change much, and they have ebbs and flows along the way. But yes. brightness is common early. My Terminator 15th was a bit bright at fi... 
Is More Better?
It sounds like the "Swarm Technique" where subs are located in non conventual locations in the room. Finding the locations is the trick. Time and patience.
