External DAC?
I have used my Vault 2i with several DACs over the years.  Sounded great with each one,  plus the great thing about a DAC is it can decode all of your digital sources  A DAC will have a lot to do with your overall sound,  make sure you demo at ho... 
It this a decent Phono setup?
I agree , a better cartridge would be the best bang for the buck.  If you like the overall presentation of your Red you may want to pick up a 2M Bronze .  I like it a lot .    There are other good choices in and around the $500 point.    Sumiko , ... 
Buying Used DACs
I would pass.   It will probably give a good service life but PS Audio has it on their obsolete/ no longer serviced list.   Soix nailed it, so many great DACs.   Never has there been a better time to buy a DAC no matter what your budget is Perso...

If I was starting from scratch I would....  good stuff  
Lumin U2 vs Aurender N200
Aurender support is excellent.  That is worth something to me.  I flipped some equipment and that plus $800 out of pocket put me into the N200.   I never thought I would buy such a pricey streamer but that deal was a huge value proposition for me.... 
Perplexed on how single driver speakers can cover such a large Hz range
I am having a pair of Omega Super Alnico Monitors built right now.  Should have them soon.   Will be using either a REL r305 or Velodyne DD 10 with them ,not sure yet.   
Lumin U2 vs Aurender N200
My Dad is using the Eversolo dmp A6 for the time  being.   It sounds really good but  I know it is not the sonic equal of that Aurender.    The difference between the N200 and the BS Vault 2i it replaced was not subtle.  Not cheap but some dealers... 
Lumin U2 vs Aurender N200
That Mac 8950 is sweet !!!   My Dad just picked one up.   It is a fine amp for sure. Congrats.   I have an Aurender N200 and like it a lot.   They are actually getting ready to update the Conductor app, which is already quite good.   The N200 sou... 
Lab12 Integre 4 MKII - user review
I think LAB 12 makes some great gear.  Still thoroughly enjoying my DAC 1 Ref.  I demoed it in a LAB 12 system and they sounded great together   
Quicksilver V4 tubes
The Mid Mono has had three revisions and the early ones can not use the big KT tubes.  Mike told me not even to use KT 90 on my second rev Mid Monos.   I would contact him.  He is a straight shooter.       
Heresy IV vs Zu DW6/Soul mk2
I ordered a pair of Omega Super Alnico Monitors for a second system.   I owned Heresy III and now own Forte IV.     I really liked the H3 and went to listen to the H4 when they came out.  I ended up buying  the Forte , it is the same footprint as ... 
The Snob Appeal Premium
" when i owned my 2016 Porsche CS2 for 18 months it was a garage Queen. a trophy. i drove it a few times a week in the summer. put 3000 miles on it. made me smile. but i listened to my system with multi-6 figure speakers 3-5 hours a day. every d... 
What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?
Specs for speakers that are important to me ; sensitity,  min power recommendation.  Max power ....   sure FR is nice , but that's room dependent   
What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?
Agree, most specs are all pretty good today ....need to listen   
Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8
My Dad picked up the Master for his first foray into streaming.   It's very good.   $400 better?  Can't say , but it is a good value at $1299.  He loves it   His integrated amp's DAC is doing all the heavy lifting via USB .
