PC vs streamer

@alvin1118 What are some options to stream from a computer to a DT using the I2S input? 
MSB select II vs all dacs ?

High end Cables not important for certain electronics?
@willgolf Sounds like you have some great gear. Lot of good dealers in the LA area with a lot of variety of speakers.BTW - I have not heard this but your Lumin X1 connected via a fibre optic cable is something I want to hear. Before ethernet conne...

@ron17 Thanks for the feedback. I am also going to do a home demo of the Makua w/DAC using a Luxman m900u amp. I was told I may like that combo better than the already heard Luxman c900u/m900u combo. I like the idea of having 1 less box (eliminate...

@willgolf How do you like the Makua? Can you compare it to any other preamps you have had in the past? Did you get the DAC module?

@toetapaudio Thanks for your feedback on the Makua, I was hoping you would chime in. Not many people in the USA have this preamp and it is hard to get feedback on it.

Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2
The TAD ME1 is not as detailed as the 3F but rather close in that department. The ME1 maybe better for longer listening sessions. I know with the Luxman system + TAD ME1 demo I was totally satisfied with the sound and wanted to listen all day. I l...
