As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This?
Mahgister, I bought that 9900 used for $250 , enjoyed it for about 8 years and ended up giving it to my brother. Unfortunately it got stolen from his apartment Wish I still had it   
Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8
I am often quick to bash budget Chinese gear, because honestly a lot of it is crap.  The A6 is a nice box for the money.  You could do a lot worse.  A lot   
Ethernet streaming
No doubt the Bricasti is a great DAC   I prefer a dedicated box to stream as I don’t do Roon.   The M3 was on my short list.   Nice sounding DAC  
Ethernet streaming
I prefer separate streamer and DAC but would "settle" for an Aurender A30.... I have a N200 with my DAC and almost bought the Bricasti plus network card  The Aurender is worth the money if you stream a lot and have a DAC that can exploit how goo... 
Thoughts on adding a McIntosh C12000 preamp to my AVM90 Home Theater Processor....
Mcintosh' s implementation of Bypass and ARC for HDMI equipped models is excellent.    Sound from a TV into the Mac via eARC gives excellent stereo sound with the added bonus of your TV remote controlling the volume and power is also a slick way o...

Do a search on Bricasti M3 DAC with network card.  I believe you use a third party app and the Ether card is the conduit

Does someone’s opinion affect your opinion?
You need some new friends.....

My Dad just did something similar. He had an Anthem AV receiver and 5 Sonus Faber speakers. Out of the blue he said " I always wanted a McIntosh" I said "Do it ! " He picked up a new McIntosh MA8950. I set it up with the Passthrough that I am as... 
Eversolo DMP A6 with or without preamp
I first plugged the A6 to an Anthem mix 510 via analog and thought it sounded real good.   Today's digital gear ain't too shabby.   I just picked up a Cyrus i7-XR  Integrated Amp and I love that little amp.  It has a built in DAC and coincidental... 
Robbie Robertson has passed away :-(
Listening to Robbie Robertson's self titled solo circa 87 right now.  Has always been one of my favorite LPs  
Tube measurement question...
I believe that spec is idle current draw when biased to spec.   IP on the tube box is the current draw.  Gm is the transconductance of the tube  The Psvane's higher plate current probably explains what difference you are hearing  Matched pairs o... 
Eversolo DMP A6 with or without preamp
My Dad has one connected digitally via USB to his Mac 8950 and it sounds great with the Mac DAC 2 card doing all the heavy lifting.  Yours is all analog so I am surprised to hear you say it sounds better with no preamp.   Maybe time  for new tube... 
Anybody heard of Falcon Acoustics?
That is weird because a year or so ago they had a pair in their showroom.   Maybe a consignment?     
Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience
Contact Aurender and ask them how to get the beta version.   I believe they enabled remotely for me through the N200’s Ethernet     I also saw a link on their site to enrol for beta.
