To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...
I think I'm going to pull the trigger on some Forte'  III..... been enjoying my Heresy III and have been on the fence whether to upgrade to the Heresy IV or Forte.  Going to demo them side by side within the next week or two....hoping the extra $1... 
CR Ripper w/ Storage and Playback
i thought the same thing..... just a ripper, but you know what?  i bought a Vault 2i and it totally changed the way i listen to music.  there are some cool free channels but for $14.99 a month i get unlimited music i can sample.  it has turned me ... 
Can a dac really be future proof?
At least with the NAD M51 DAC they supported it as far as the architecture allowed, and thats fine by me.  They added features too, so you really can't ask for much more.  One thing about the RME, its roots are in pro audio so the software side is... 
DAC PREFERENCES TO MATCH WITH NODE2
My RME replaced a NAD M51, a very good DAC no doubt but the RME has clarity unlike any other source I've ever used .   Bass is incredibly realistic,  upright bass and kick drums, which are tough to reproduce , are faithfully rendered.   Its dynami... 
DAC PREFERENCES TO MATCH WITH NODE2
I switched from Tidal to Qobuz.... much better sound and user interface in my opinion....  using a Bluesound Vault 2i and its connected to a RME adi-2 DAC fs , and the sou d quality is great.  Don't know what your budget it, but if its around $1k ... 
Can a dac really be future proof?
I just got the RME adi-2 DAC fs and its awesome !  But despite its flash firm ware it will always be limited to dsd 256 and 768k sample rate because of the hardware .... so while I appreciate forward support and enhance features I am quite confide... 
Streaming for beginner
Bluesound Node 2i is a great unit that sounds pretty good through its digital out into a good DAC.   The Bluesound App can be used on any platform and its easy to use...  im streaming  Qobuz right now through   my Bluesound Vault 2i  which is feed... 
Best and Worst customer service?
Also would be remiss if I didn't mention Grado....  excellent customer service recently....let's just say they went above and beyond. 
Monoblock setup inquiry
I would personally take advantage of the additional power of bridging each stereo amp to mono rather than bi amp .....YMMV 
Quicksilver Headphone Amp
The only shortcoming of this design for some is it's single RCA input.  No problem though if you are using a DAC directly connected or in my case , my preamp's TAPE OUT is feeding a fixed level input to the Quicksilver.  I'm lucky I guess that my ... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Monophonics.... Sound of Sinning.  great album 
The meaning of “Remastered”
Unfortunately sometimes it means "Ruined"..... 
NAD M51 upgrade
I recently replaced an M51 with the RME and I think it is a much better DAC. The M51 is no slouch but it simply is not as clear and intelligible as the RME. CLARITY, would be the word to sum up this DAC. Much better delineation of the lower regist... 
? on Pioneer CD players from the past, anyone still using one of these
PD-65, ...I miss mine, it was a cool player 
Mini Toslink adapters... degrade sound?
I have used one and noticed no difference in quality....it just allowed me to use a combo digital / analog input .
