Explain to me dsd
@erik_squires,  I realize a late reply to this thread. Just wanted to say that I have been waiting for DSD streaming service. I am sure there are quite a few out there with deep pockets to pay for downloads plus streaming services. I am very excit... 
Audio Research - DAC9
@gadawg58 , thank you for your feedback. From what it sounds like the DAC9 should show its true capabilities after 200 hours. About DSD, there are quite a few high end DAC's out there that don't do DSD. Modwright is one of them.  For me, Tidal str... 
Cutting below 80 HZ on my mains, so subwoofers handle deep bass?
The timing of this latest thread is perfect. I just purchased (on the way) Modwright LS36.5 linestage with a custom modification.  On my request to integrate a sub in a two channel setup, the wonderful folks at Mod configured the unit's only XLR i... 
12 ft pair of thick speakers cables?? Can they be cut downt to a 6 ft pair??

Schiit taking orders (as of Dec 23) on Freya preamp
@srosenberg why not use any of the inputs....probably not a 'purist' approach.   
Linestage vs. Preamplifier....
Thank you all for your feedback! Merry Christmas to everyone.  
Schiit taking orders (as of Dec 23) on Freya preamp
@ghosthouse....thank you for the sharing news. This is exactly the kind of real world 'priced' components we have come to expect from Schitt Audio. No doubt, this is one hell of a preamp on paper for $699.00.  I would have gone for this component ... 
Audio Research Foundation Series
Thank you for your feedback...well that's pretty much sums it for me. I own a N10 and there is no way I am giving that up.  I know Ref 5se is superb but I find the 'looks' bit antiquated (sorry no offense). I have recently auditioned Aesthetix Pan...

Bpoletti....No problems.  Enjoy your new DAC!  
Doh, left system off all night
Hi Bpoletti,If I may, what DAC you are considering?  I own a Modwright Elyse and thinking about auditioning Aesthetix Pandora 'Eclipse' or AR DAC9.  Lalit 
Doh, left system off all night
Erik,  IMO, class D requires more time to reach optimal temperature.  I own both tube and solid state gear and it never takes more than couple of hours before I sit down to enjoy my system.  
The new OPPO Digital UDP-203 question
Folks, I understand where everyone is coming from on lack of streaming services in the latest 4K Oppo player.  I have just just received my new UHD-203 player and it is simply outstanding in both audio/video, the new DAC chip is ultra smooth and v...
