Power conditioner some say yes and some say no.
The Keces IQRP 3600 sounds good. Everything sounds bigger somehow. Nice conditioner. 
What are some of the better tuners out there?
My MD106T tuner is sounding better with play time on the new caps and tubes. I find that the tuner is settling down nicely and sounds good. I am hoping with the work done on the tuner that the tubes will last longer than before the repair.

I will have the Keces IQRP 3600 in 4 days. I will report back after I have it in my system for a bit. I have a feeling I will be pleased. My system sounds better in the late evening early morning so I am hoping that the new Keces will help my syst... 
What are some of the better tuners out there?
I just got my Magnum Dynalab md106t tuner back from repair and had the caps in the output section upgraded and I upgraded the tubes to Telefunken tubes and my tuner sounds good again. It should further improve with play time. My tuner is 12 years ... 
I’m looking to upgrade my Magnum Dynalab MD106T???
I just got my tuner back from repair at Magnum Dynalab and it is sounding better than ever. The tuner is 12 years old already but it has had maintenance at Magnum Dynalab over the years. This last time they upgraded the caps in the output section ... 
Keces BP5000 Balanced Power Transformer?
I expect the new Keces IQRP 3600 in 2 weeks. I expect it may be nice. Apparently balanced power transformer conditioners don’t limit amp dynamics like some of the lesser conditioners. I will know more in a couple of weeks. 
High End Headphones And HP Amp.
I am enjoying Abyss 1266 Phi TC headphones and Niimbus headphone amp with a Danacable Lazuli Nirvana cable between headphones and amp. The combo is nice but very pricey.

I placed the order for the Keces IQRP 3600 just yesterday so I should have it in a couple of weeks.

At least I was able to install 3 dedicated power lines to my music room and I have my amp plugged into a Hydra2 plugged into a dedicated line and the rest of the system is plugged into a Hydra 6 plugged into a dedicated power line. I don’t hear an...

Live and learn. It could have cost me more but at least I got my gear except for the Keces for now. 
Power conditioner some say yes and some say no.
The reason I am out $4000 is because I gave a dealer $4000 worth of gear on consignment to go towards the new Keces but the dealer got Covid-19 and passed away before he could transfer the funds. My Niimbus headphone amp ended up costing me $1800 ...

Sometimes there is issue with the ac from the wall. In this situation I am told a power transformer can be helpful but I also am told that if you don’t have ac issues then a conditioner is unhelpful and can be detrimental. 
What are some of the better tuners out there?
I find myself needing to replace my tubes every 4 months or so and I don’t use my tuner that much. I have sent in my tuner to Magnum Dynalab several times in the last 12 years for various maintenance repairs but the tuner has been fine for several... 
I am no longer getting MQA?
I should note that my Auralic app used to indicate MQA when being used but now indicates FLAC on albums which should be MQA. 
I am no longer getting MQA?
I read Mike’s post about the settings but my PS Audio Directstream dac does not do MQA conversion unless using a Bridge II which I am not. If I turn on MQA pass through then I would surely not get MQA as my DSD does not support MQA on it’s own. I ...
