DENAFRIPS Terminator ii 12th Ann
Ya best to play with them.  I have the T 2 and Pontus II and finally after a year of playing around with the filters and nos/os generally prefer the slow filter.  But moods change sometimes and so do the settings.  
Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD
@macg19 I’ve owned the Int 60 and think it would better the Luxman and Accuphase with your speakers.  Luxman imo is a little too cool and the Accuphase I don’t think will give you the fullness on the 40’s that the Pass will.  In my opinion the Pas...

@donquichotte +1 on your review.  I’m strongly considering an E380 to drive a pair of QLN speakers I just purchased. Your review reinforced a couple of other (professional) reviews I’ve seen and has helped my decision process immensely.

Thanks auroravengeance.  All interesting suggestions.  Not looking for an integrated though.

@ bluethinker   Dynaudio Heritage was on my shortlist.  Never got to hear them though, which is just as well.  I know i'll enjoy the QLN a lot more.  
Is low cost DAC worth it?
@soix  I've thought about it but I'm short real estate in that system and looking to eliminate boxes.  I'm actually thinking about going with something like the Aurender A15.  Now before you pull out the flame thrower, the A15 uses the N200 stream...

@soix 👍 presently using an N150 with a Pontus II for a dedicated headphone system and N200 with a Terminator II in a speaker system.  So yes I'm both an Aurender and Denafrips fan boy. @wolfgarcia no snobbery here.  I've owned both a DacMagic 200...

Are you still around bluethinker?  In one of my previous comments above i mentioned lusting after your speakers.  Well as the old saying goes ask and you shall receive. Last night I was able to find a brand new in the box pair of QLN Prestige One ...

New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport
Seems like there are some bad reports circulating regarding HiFi Rose and their model 150 which is too bad.  Seemed like a very interesting kit when it first came out and I almost tried one.  I guess I should be glad I didn’t.  This unit looks int...

And after re-reading what I said above, i could have been clearer in my point.

Soix, i've been on a similar journey and had similar results as you. I'm currently way beyond the streaming and DAC components I mentioned earlier.  I was only trying to relate an experience I had that could improve upon the OP's current situation... 
Is low cost DAC worth it?
Have to disagree soix.  I did just that using my phone as a streamer into an Ares II.  It sounded almost as good as using a Node to stream in the same setup.  Never tried the Zen but can't imagine things changing that much.  But maybe they could. ...

Install USB Audio Player Pro on your phone and connect via usb to the DAC.  I believe the app is 5 bucks. Forget about airport x or your computer.  You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
