Network optimization for serious streamers
I now KNOW I have to replace the SMPS with LPS on the ONT and router from my ISP. I tried to do this with my Verizon FIOS G3100 router, and I failed:   Why? Couldn’t find the wiring and dimensions of its DC input connector. None of the ... 
Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200
One thing my customers and I appreciate about the T+A DAC 200 is that it has a total of six DAC filters that can span a very laid, back organic sound, to a very naturally bit perfect sound to being very punchy and detail-oriented. It’s almost lik... 
"High end" store snobbery

Innuous Zenith Mk3 and Phoenix vs Esoteric N-05XD
@bossa : I have the N-01XD. Not the same DAC as the N-05XD. For sure. Great streaming DAC nonetheless. I you only need a streamer, not a server (Zennith does both), then I would tend to agree that replacing the Zennith + Phoenix + your existing P... 
Headphone break in?
Thanks, though, for reminding me why I've not posted on here much lately. Well… good. I am glad you understood. Please continue to stay away from here. Thank you     
Headphone break in?

Looking For 18awg Audiophile Power Cable Options
Yes. Knitting is a good hobby.   And @raysmtb1 everything I see here you posting leads me to believe you are a full blown cable hater and denier. Everything you say is a conjecture.   By the way, you never answered my question on the fuse   ...
