Bluesound Vault 2
I love my Vault 2i.... amazing what it can do.   It has great sound quality and convenience.  I also have it connected to my DAC but it sounds good in it's own right .    It's like the Swiss Army Knife of digital playback.   Bi directional Blutoot...

What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker?
Another vote for CF 4 ....  I had a pair driven by B&K M200 Sonata mono amps.  It was ridiculous, their size was ridiculous too.  Replaced by a pair of KEF Reference 2 .... also rocked.

Where is great audio going? - Headphones and Mid-Cost
I'm recently separated, so my living situation has changed big time.  Right before I left I picked up a pair or Grado RS2e headphones and Rupert Neve RNHP headphone amp.   Best $1000 spent on audio in a long time.While my gear sat there in storage...

MQA is Legit!
I think it sounds pretty good considering it's streaming through my Vault 2i.   Will Tidal replace my CDs, SACDs, DvD-A, and BluRay Audio, 24/96 material ? No way , but as a convenient hifi digital source it's pretty decent.
