Low Cost DACs
I use a Chord Mojo in my loudspeaker system and it does a phenomenal job. Right now looks like most places are selling them for around $399.   And to also echo some of the other responses you likely can't go wrong with an Audioquest Dragonfly ... 
Question Regarding Clearaudio Concept Power Supply
@noromance  & @mijostyn,Thanks for replying!  I have en email over to Clearaudio to confirm the voltage.  The Concept manual, and webpage, doesn't specifically list the PSUs voltage, but a lot of third party review sites and Linear PSUs for sa...

Sorry to hear you’re having this problem. But glad to hear TMR is making it right. In October I picked up a used Clearaudio Concept from them.  The agreement was I’d pay for the Concept’s full asking price, and after TMR received my trade in they’... 
Qobuz Special Offer
I have over four years of albums, tracks, artists, and playlists saved in Tidal.  Does it seem worth it to make the switch?  Is the Qobuz library comparable to Tidal?  Curious if anyone has been using both services side by side and can share their...

Great musicians who should have been famous except....
@boxer12Yeah. Familiar with Billy Martin, not Yasunori Takada though. Looks like his band, Mono, did some output in Tzadik Records which I can get behind. I’ll check ‘em out!

As a drummer, and fan of free improv/ avant- jazz, I’m always searching out well recorded, esoteric drummers. If willing to listen with an open mind I highly recommend going down Hamid Drake, Tyshawn Sorey, and Han Bennink YouTube rabbit holes. Al... 
Looking for great jazz guitar recordings - any recommendations?
@folkfreak Halvorson's output is absolutely stunning.  Easily one of my all time favorite guitarists.  I love the two Thumbscrew albums that came out last year.  And her duo album with Bill Frisell on Tzadik is one of my favorite albums in recent ...

Another shout out to Bill Frisell... My favorites are his recordings with Paul Motian’s trio on ECM Records. And Frisell’s duo albums with Thomas Morgan are really special. Those are live at the Village Vanguard and also put out by ECM.I saw someo... 
Reasonable but not outragious interconnects
Another nod to Signal Cable. Frank is awesome to work with, and their cables are a terrific value in regard to performance>price ratio. http://signalcable.com/  
Looking for an Integrated Amplifier to match Totem Rainmaker Speakers
@gcknapp Thanks for sharing your experience with the 50A.  I love the look, form factor, and functionality of Creek integrateds.  Do you think that model is a considerable step up from my Rotel RA-12?

@big_greg I’m in Portland, OR and am aware of Gig Harbor Audio. Do you know if they ship Heed products? I’m not seeing Heed available on their online webstore.
