Let's Talk DAC's
I went to Audition the Merason Freot  and left that day with the Lab 12 DAC 1.    The little Merason sou dedicated good for the money, but i was replacing the RME and I was looking for something with more weight, meat on the bones.. ..it also has...

One thing about the RME, it uses it’s internal clock regardless of whether it is USB or using a SPDIF type input   That is an advantage with TV or other video sources    It always uses it’s internal Femto clock for all inputs, the source clock is ... 
Happy Audiophile Day!
I did not know about this until now …Happy listening!   I just fired up my amps ….    
Can a tube short without blowing?
A tube can glow but have an internal short. Hopefully it just took out a fuse.

I'm hesitant to recommend any DAC.   It is something I would recommend auditioning at home.   I just sold my RME for $675,  a great DAC for the price .   Unlike other DACs it has a built in parametric EQ so it can sound how ever you like.     Def...

I think you may find several of those mentioned a lateral move.    I had the RME , it's good no doubt but it is probably near the end of production .  I do know that they have no memory left for enhancements and the last Firmware revision is proba... 
One key to building great systems over time.
Big fan of Quicksilver. That is exactly the type of gear you want to check out. No frills, excellent sound, reasonably priced. There are lots of companies offering great value , these and other forums are a good start but nothing like visiting a d... 
Help and opinions needed on pre-amp situation
Yes , the preamp is the heart and soul of your system.  I'm having g a DHT preamp built now that will most likely be my last. . I bought a Zesto Leto and it was an amazing preamp.  I sold it to fund my next pre , that should be done in a few month...

I listened to their Pre 1 and Suara Amp and they are good also.   Real solid build quality.   
Aurender A20 or Lumin X1
Good advice on the separate components at that price level. I have an Aurender N200.    It's been great, keeps getting better with each firmware and software revision   
Lab12 Integre4 review from new owner
I know , it’s a real sleeper.  I intended on trading up to something 2  X as much $$$ but it did not make sense. I love how it sounds and bought a nice analog rig with the money it would have cost.   Picked up a SOTA Escape with Origin Live Arm, 2... 
Oppo UHP 205 Universal Player
I have a 103d and it's been great, but if it dies I will check out one of those Reavon or probably a apanasonic UB9000.  Balanced outs , multichannel outputs.  Probably a safe bet at that price.  I had one of the better Panasonic BluRay and it's s... 
Oppo UHP 205 Universal Player
I agree.   Buy a new machine.     OPPOs were great but do you really want to buy a used disc spinner with who knows how many hours on it when you can buy one of those Reavon players    Www.reavon.com

Enjoy.  I love my Lab 12 DAC 1 Reference, they have a good ear and know how to voice a component. Build quality is high too.  
Aurender
Definitely deal with someone who has a decent return policy. I love how it sounds but at its price imake sure it is something you can listen to then decide if you want to keep it. I have had people over that preferred the sound of the RME I had i...
