| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? @djohnson54 , Thank you! It's gonna take me some time to get up to speed with digital. I guess what I should be looking for is something called a streamer or a streaming DAC if I don't want to be using my laptop to stream music through my integrat... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? The Brooklyn DAC+ is on my very short list of streaming DACs. I've been reading the owner's manual online (https://mytekdigital.com/download_library/manuals/Brooklyn_DAC+_Manual.pdf) and although my router is located in the same room as my audio s... | |
| Spotify vs. Apple Music vs. Google Play vs. Tidal: Which is Best My vote currently goes to Tidal but if Spotify ever starts offering lossless streaming, I'll be switching to their service. | |

| New McIntosh MA252 Can you tell us how long you had to wait for it?I'm asking because I gave my dealer a deposit for one on Wednesday and he placed my order that day. | |
| Best looking reel to reel My vote would have to go to the one I had back in the late 70s, the Pioneer RT-707. It might not be the gnarliest, but it just may have been the most unusual looking.https://www.hifiengine.com/images/model/pioneer_rt-707_open_reel_tape_deck.jpg | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? A Counterpoint SA 3.1 preamp I bought in 1986 and shelved in 2016. A pair of Sonus Faber Minuetto speakers I purchased in 1993 and sold in July of this year. |
