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
