Spotify's HiFi tier could finally be about to launch
The competition from Apple Music and Amazon messed them up. But like @loomisjohnson mentioned - none of the other providers can match their interface OR Connect. IF AM and Amazon were purely streaming based, then they could not afford what Spotify... 
New Class D amplifiers
@jeffrey125 , It looks like my question is confusing you. Did I ask about configuration? I don’t care about that. I was hoping owners to chime in, on which type (solid state OR tube) of amp they replaced with Class D. But good to know that you re... 
New Class D amplifiers
@jeffrey125  Just to clarify - question was about amplifiers, not preamplifiers.  
New Class D amplifiers
Just out of curiosity - anyone here compare between Purifi Vs Nilai Vs GaNFet? I think most posters who have been happy with Class D amps previously owned Solid state amps. Very very few replaced tubes with Class D. Is that right?  
T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501
I had the Rockna Wavelight and the Hugo TT2 on my radar. But found out that both convert DSD to PCM internally. So looking at other options now. Thanks for sharing your experience. Will be keen on hearing more from you - this is an interesting DAC...

Backert Labs Rhumba preamp
My bad, the level I have set on “variable” output is 80 and not 90.  
Backert Labs Rhumba preamp
Bringing this thread to life to find out from current Backert Rhumba users on what is the volume position on the dial that they generally use for listening? My story is that I used to use it 90% of the time between 9 and 9:30 position and it soun... 
Recommend me a DAC under 3k
Would a Okto DAC 8 stereo fit your needs, if you can pick up a Pi 4 Model B on the flee-Bay?  
I stream 24/7. Do you?
No, I like to get at least 6-8 hours of sleep   That was funny @lalitk   
Any love for the Gentalex Gold Lion 12ax7 gold pin?
Gold Lions are generally good if upgrading from Mullard current production tubes. In my system Mullard < Gold Lions << Psvanes <<<<< NOS Mazda (1960s). But this is only for 12AU7 tubes. I don't have experience with any oth... 
Gapless playback of FLAC files.
All I want is to send gapless FLAC to my dac Are you sure? If YES, then how does it matter that it is sent via a computer Vs a transport? How are you sending these FLAC files to the DAC, if not using a computer?  
JW Audio Signature Interconnect - I can't get anyone even to try them
Oh man, I did not know that JW passed away. Did he go by the user name “zmanastronomy”?  
Marantz cd players
Congratulations @thedoc2004 on the new equipment. Now sit back and enjoy your music! This site or US Audiomart would be the best places to sell your audio gear that you don't need.
