Streamer for Goldmund Telos 7 built in DAC?
I have an Aurender N200 and it's a great machine.  Replaced my Vault 2i and was a significant upgrade.    Aurender support is very good.  Control App works great.   I have the SSD installed and I can also play files and copy files in the Vault th... 
SPL Diamond DAC - no remote control
Because of their pro roots, they assume everyone is sitting at a mixing console where everything is in reach Too bad her app can't change the volume.   I have to ask....  how does it sound?   Also how are you getting your music ? Qobuz ?  Tidal?...

Listen to it unbiased toward no remote and I bet you end up keeping it   
SPL Diamond DAC - no remote control
My CJ preamp had no remote.  That thing sounded great so I guess you could say I “lived with it” but that wasn’t the case at all.  I loved that preamp , it sounded better than the remote controlled pre it replaced.   I hated the volume push button... 
Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit.
No experience with, but the Van Alstine pre is supposed to be really good. No other component influences the overall character of your electronics as the preamp. Stretch the budget a little and buy one that you won’t have the urge to upgrade anyti... 
Superbly quiet LP playback
I just got back into vinyl after a 10 plus year hiatus.  With a much better table  I was really surprised at how good some of my LPs sounded,  and also impressed with how quiet many of them were.   I took really good care of those records , nice t... 
Best setup for office
If you have a dealer nearby with headphones on display I would start there.  Easy to make a mistake buying headphones.   I have a pair of Klipsch HP3 and a Quicksilver Headphone Amp and it's a great combo.    Was using Grado RS2e also with that am... 
SPL Diamond DAC - no remote control
When you buy a piece of Pro gear or gear from a company with Pro Roots they don't always think like a HiFi enthusiast.  Unfortunately that looks like the case here.   A great unit that no one had the insight to spec a remote volume in.  Would have... 
How is Quality and Customer Service defined in the 21st Century?
A while back Klipsch took care of me.   My daughter was celebrating college graduation,   had a few too many drinks and cranked the volume as she went by the system.    Pegged it, took out both midrange drivers and damaged a tweeter diafram in my ... 
How is Quality and Customer Service defined in the 21st Century?
I have experienced excellent support from Quicksilver, Cyrus, and Aurender the past year or so.   Nothing broken, just needed answers or guidance.    
How is Quality and Customer Service defined in the 21st Century?
Post Covid customer service is pretty horrible everywhere.   Can't really speak to quality other than my last few purchases were high quality , great sounding pieces that knock on wood are still running fine. I was really surprised last month.   ... 
When Will We Learn?
I try to avoid shipping but you can’t always buy locally. I’m in Mass so often times I just go to NH as there is no sales tax. There are a few good dealers that make it worth the trip. Audio Visual Therapy and Fidelis in Nashua are great to deal w... 
Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit.
I second Quicksilver or Conrad Johnson .   CJs are tough to find at a reasonable price though.      The preamp is the most important component in your system, choose carefully   
HT Receivers Compared
Anthem AVRs are very good in my experience.   Not going to rival dedicated 2 ch gear but they do sound really good.
