A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ?
PS Audio's quality is top notch.  Built solid ....  Some other brands will seem a bit chinzy when compared side by side.  Sound is solid as well.   
Best used or new DAC under $3500
Jozurr?    When was the time you heard the Yggdrasil?This is brand new news....    http://www.schiit.com/about/news/yggdrasil-refined 
Is there a real difference in sound between Media Servers (without built-in DAC)?
MQA may not be around for long.  That is why Schiit makes its Yggy upgradeable in the event it does.  
Best Vintage Dac??
A vintage DAC is not something you might want.  It was in its infancy and had many problems in the early years.  
Wolf Audio music servers
Iwin....   One reason for better sound can be that it is set up to shut down programs that run in Windows in the background that can introduce noise. Another, is the internal cabling on most computers need to be upgraded for the best audio...  But... 
Speaker distance
Audiophile nearfield desktop....  about 38 inches apart.   Audience 1+1V2's. What I hear does not sound small...  Just to scale.   
Musician vs. audiophile
Just switch out the speakers.  The magic may not be from the Mac.  I used to sell audio and was free to audition speakers at home when the store was closed.  Same preamp and amp,,,  but each speaker sounded entirely different.  The Martin Logan's ... 
Can cables of any cost and quality provide bass response missing in my B&W speakers?
Compass_Rose.  Others here spoke of "polarity."  But,  what I can gather from what they spoke of?  Was to check the "phase" to make sure both speakers are wired the same.  You may find if you reverse both speaker's leads - red to the black, and bl...

Chistopher73...Do you remember which way you had the HFT fuse pointing?  
Schiit Yggdrasil... Hi Fi Tuning fuse users....
Randy-11...Thanks for your answer. But, I am talking about the Hi Fi SUPREME tuning fuse. Its black. You are thinking of another brand. I only want to know the direction to be used.  
Can a Quality Full Range Speaker be the Limiting Component in a system?
>>>> Can a quality full range speaker be the limiting component in a system? <<<<In your system it can.  In another system it might not. Too many variables to be able to give a yes, or no, answer.   
Let's talk power cords
Its not that its simply a matter of being a few feet between all the wiring in the wall and your equipment, saying the last few feet don’t matter. Its that the last few feet can mess up between the wiring in the wall and your equipment. Stock cabl... 
Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
Fuses resonate when active. It appears that the construction of the fuse will effect this phenomena.  If anyone thinks fuses makes no difference?  I do not know what to tell them.  For I have tried several brands and they all leave their own uniqu... 
Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
PS Audio puts audiophile ceramic fuses in their equipment.  I have a NuWave DAC.  When asking about possibly upgrading the fuse they told me I already have on in there.  They even sent me one for a back up if needed.  Its gold plated and ceramic. ...
