Streamers under $1500
I am fully on board with Wiim Pro if it includes a USB port for local music. I know many users have requested this feature from Wiim, but so far they have only implemented it on the Wiim Amp. I hope it is on the road map for next version of Wiim P... 
Could Class D really be that good?

@atmasphere Ralph, great post and thank you for sharing. I also enjoy your afternoon talk here, which helps me understand some of the intricacies of class D design.

@jl35 They are pretty much the same based on my recollection after seeing several reviews and demos. I decided on v3 primarily because of its pre-out feature, so I could do bi-amping later on with other class A amp.

A simple upgrade is to order the Fosi with the 48 volt power brick. Go to ASR to read the recent test report. I did try the 48-volt PSU, but the truth is, it doesn't deliver better sound than the 32-volt PSU at normal listening levels or even a... 
IFi Zen Stream connection problem — hardwired from Wi-Fi extender
I've found that my WIFI extender tends to lose connection with my router. I eventually took it offline. Some devices are super sensitive to fluctuations in network speed. Even a brief slowdown can kill the connection.  My old WiFi extender, whi...

It's funny how you can find cables labeled as 6N, or even 7N/8N OCC or OFC all over Amazon and AliExpress, and they're incredibly cheap. It's amazing to see the quality control and production efficiency of the plants in China these days???  I am a...

@eddnog  Same here. I made a last-minute switch to the separates based on my instinct. I recalled that the overall package deals were identical during the pledge.  
Could Class D really be that good?
@eddnog  I didn’t see any results from anywhere testing the V3 Mono specifically with a 5A power supply versus a 10A, making it even more difficult to say. Erin just shows the test result today. 'Single' means single amp fed by 48v, 5A psu and ...

Ric, I really admire what you do and wish I could learn that skill set someday. It's a pretty good review, and I congratulate you on the impressive 9.5 out of 10 score you received for your mod. I agree that measurements do not imply sound qualit... 
Could Class D really be that good?
Alright, it is fun discussion but counter-productive (to me) talking these technical issues phyosophically.  Call me stuborn but, before making any major purchase / investment, I would like to see positive / superior objective measurements on the ... 
Could Class D really be that good?
I don't believe it's necessary for components to be of poor quality to show disparities in measurement. Take the Fosi V3 and Aiyima A07 as examples. Both of them use the TI TPA 3255 module, but Fosi utilizes quality passive parts like Japanese/Ger... 
Cool running, low powered power amp
CODA has a lot of 'fins' and Krell 175xd gets a lot of fans (4) in the back.  Won't you be bothered by them?    
Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations
+1 Buchardt S400 Mk II which I believe it has been recommended.  
Music first or sound first?
Without good sound, I could not enjoy the music. Hard to separate them.
