Just received my LHY Linear Power Supply
Thank you very much @hdm, I am thinking of replacing the wallwart PSUs from my digital chain (router, switches, etc). I do buy a fair amount on Aliexpress, I will look at the options you mentioned. Thanks again!

@hdm can you name some of the PSUs that you tried? Which one you prefer?  
Getting excited
Thank you guys, I got it yesterday afternoon but other engagements did not allow me to listen to it. I had a quick look and it looks like new. I can't wait to connect it to the rest of my system.

Does the Gryphon Antileon EVO stereo amplifier go for sale on the used market?
They are quite difficult to find in the used market but they do appear from time to time, as Zlone said, check Hifishark.

@stievus He he, I love France and visit many times but unfortunately I don't speak enough French to communicate. I have seen the KronosAV DSS2 but I have left the UK sometime ago and now leave in my country of origin (Greece) and as you know since... 
Streamer and DDC (I need AES/SpDif output)
@mahler123 I too much prefer FireWire to USB for audio, I still have a PCIe FireWire card in a decent music server and it connects to the Weiss :)  
Streamer and DDC (I need AES/SpDif output)
@stievus Yes, I realize it is a somewhat basic streamer with no bells and whistles. I am ok with this, I am more interested in the sound quality more than anything else. I am not saying I don't like a big display like the HIfi Rose RS130, or a mor...

@stievus Thanks again!

@stievus Thank you very much for the reply. As I said I am very temped to get either the LeStreamer or the DSS1. Do you need to connect a server/PC to the Metronome in order to stream Qobuz/ Tidal? How do you control the Metronome? Also have you c... 
Battle of the Older DAC
I still use an old Weiss DAC202 and i am perfectly happy with it. The only reason to change it will be to get a different sound, otherwise I have no desire to do so.
