DAC suggestion for PC
@skads_187 , If you have a purpose built PC meant only for streaming, then it should be fine. I am using a PC that is passive cooled and it is couple of huge steps over the dedicated laptop I was using earlier. Please see my system page for the b... 
Building your music digital music collection
While I agree with others, I also have ripped a few hundred CDs as FLACs and about 150 SACDs as DSF files. I use Foobar2000 and have configured it to output DSD 512. I like that. I still download albums that I REALLY love and they go to my media l... 
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
Oh, did you not hear - he found that cable break-in is true and have started comparing different cables. Lets wait to hear from him about his findings.  
I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe
Because there are certain people who register fresh and post inciting videos. Did you see the thread that got axed yesterday? That same person has opened a new one today, though the good thing is no one care anything about it.  
AGD Tempo in the house
@celander  I write in defense of at least one post on this thread from @twoleftears. I know this A-goner very well and I believe him to be straight shooter regarding the vast majority of his posts. Respect to you sir - I too know this poster a... 
AGD Tempo in the house
Mikey exposing the hidden agendas. It's pretty interesting. @tubeguy76 , Do you care to explain what agenda did "Mikey" expose? I did not find anything interesting. Maybe I missed the point.  
Smaller plug-in AC Purifiers -- Shunyata, iFi, Puron...something else? What do you like?
@judsauce  Were you able to return it? Unfortunate that it did not work in your system. Certainly worked in my system and I am loving the results.  
Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price...
But once my system reached a certain level This and a properly setup system is needed to identity small changes in sound signature. Simply slapping tons of equipment in a spot and then saying you cannot hear slight differences (good or bad), is...

Smaller plug-in AC Purifiers -- Shunyata, iFi, Puron...something else? What do you like?

Cable Break In for the Naysayers
@ozzy  I think science has also proved that different people hear the SAME sound differently. No need to be subjective any more. The below is just one of the links. There are other scientific articles on similar vein. So it is fortunate that som... 
A $250 Power Conditioner?
@jayctoy, @soix  I am planning to get another one and check out for myself.   @questforhifi  I am trying to understand what you mention. If Puron adds it’s own noise, how come more details are revealed, sound stage seem to expand in all direct... 
A $250 Power Conditioner?
Question to Puron users: I have only 1 Puron installed on the empty port in the 20 amp dedicated line that feeds the power conditioner. The other 20 amp dedicated line is used to power the brick that powers my audio server (windows machine). Sinc... 
A $250 Power Conditioner?
@jayctoy , I did get one a few days ago and I was astonished. I was not ready for this kind of improvement it brings. A cursory information of what this thing does would have been helpful, instead of thinking that this filter adds some pixie dust...
