Best MUSIC SERVER: WEISS 301, Aurender, LUMIN.... ? HELP !
Remember a lot of this is marketing BS... while you are paying $2-3K for a music server with proprietary server software I would take a stab and say the user experience for navigating your actual music library probably blows. Think of how many Squeezebox devices were sold and how large their...- mcullinan

Apple Music... Seriously?
So... Im sure this has been discussed. Apple Music is 256 AAC encoded (MP4??) vs the 320 MP3 of Spotify. I think the Apple sounds better even though its only 256- mcullinan

Apple Music... Seriously?
I think one of the biggest issues beyond UI, is a visual way to allow me to see the depth of my music interests. Im an older dude so I have a lot of types of music that I like, but wish there was a way to give me more variety in a glance. I know there is the hearting a band and narrowing of my...- mcullinan

Apple Music... Seriously?
UI is def better and to me the sound is better. I had a subscription to Spotify for a while... iTunes Family makes sense to me. Sure its not Tidal, but Im usually at work (crappy speakers) or on the road (External noise) so MP3 vs lossless isn't that noticeable.- mcullinan

I have the theta chroma 396 which is a hybrid r2r dac i believe. Ive been comparing it to new dacs and am shocked everytime. You would think that a Dac like the Yulong DA8 would blow it out of the water but not so. The theta has a hige soundstage w great bass and is overall much more natural...- mcullinan

$700 is a lot of money. You should be able to pick up some killer headphones. What about the Sennheiser HD600 or 650s.- mcullinan

I hear that placing a few Audio Pebbles™ on the YGGY it will cut warmup time in half by controlling the initial tone.- mcullinan

iFi iDSD Micro VS Chord HUGO
To me.... doesn't it come down to tone control vs advancement. Perhaps each year some part of the aural spectrum is help up as the pinnacle of sound. Not unlike clothes and color. Blue is in. Blue is out as an example. Each year a company comes out with a new dac.. Is there an obvious...- mcullinan
