Arcam AVR Receivers
It is most likely Black Friday sales. Last year at this time, I picked up an Arcam AVR30 at Best Buy for 1299.00 new in the box. It was  reduced from 6600.00. That was also the end of this model's run. It works and sounds great.

@kereru    I am currently using wifi to my MacBook. Router is only about 10' away without obstructions. It's a nice  balance between convenience and audio quality. there's no Lan connection on this version of MacBook.

@kereru  that's the exact decision I made last night! ...and you said the same thing as Beatechnik did! I prefer using MacBook Pro to Phasure Lush usb to the Douk U2 Pro with Atlas Mavros Coax to the Gustard R26. I am looking for that Harmonic...

For a budget of around 1,000.00, I can order a OCK-2 and use my Douk U2 Pro or  an LHY UBT-1 (ddc) and an OCK-1   any opinions?   P.S. I ordered a .5m bnc cable off of Aliexpress.

@kereru  yes, the dh labs was for the i2s connections...I was looking at a few things at the same time! the bnc to bnc I was looking at was a Harmonic Tech  Digital Copper III (50 ohm) cable. This would be the reclocker to the bnc of the R26. ...

After doing some further exploring, I am strongly leaning to  a good DDC to an LHY OCK-2 and a DH Labs Silver Sonic 2.1 cable to connect the clock to the Gustard R26.

@kereru  I am waiting for a reply from LHY as to which OCK would suit my system better. I sent in my list of equipment in my system as they requested to determine which clock (in their opinion) they would recommend.  I am new to this part of dig...

I am looking at the Leo Bodnar...modest price is good. I don't see any i2s connection. also, I have a MacBook Pro and all I can see in their illustrations are guides for Windows. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind trying one of these.

Looks there are all sold out on Amazon for the time being. I will explore it in the meantime. Thanks for the tip.  
Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs?
I just recently sold my VR 4 originals. They had just become too heavy to move around with even the slightest toe-in etc. I have been enjoying a nice large standpoint: Marten Duke 2 with an REL T9i sub. They do produce a large sound and soundstag... 
Dali Owners,What Cables Do You Use???
This is good timing. I just received my new pair of Dali Menuet SE's this week...also in thewild walnut finish. I have ten hours on them so far and the manual recommends 50 hours before they settle in. I have been using a modest pair of Linn speak...
