Pass - Auralic - TAD System - Thoughts / Changes ?
How do you like the sound you have now?  Do voices sound natural?   What changes would you like to hear?  More bass?  Smoother sound? 
What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker?
Thank you everyone for sharing your ideas and experiences.  There's a lot to try in your suggestions and I'm sure something will work.  For fellow Evolution One owners, yes they are really good speakers.  I'm looking forward to getting them soundi... 
What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker?
Thanks everyone for your replies. They are varied as one would expect.My room is far from ideal, but I don’t think it’s having a major impact on this problem. The listening area is carpeted and has a fabric sofa and chair and the house has an open...

Thanks jtcf,  Yeah my room definitely needs some work. 
Am I missing something here?
You can only listen and either like or not like what you hear.  Audio is very subjective.  One person hates what another person loves.You can keep looking till you find what you like or stick with what you have.  Sticking with what you have is che... 
A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..
I’m always a little surprised to almost never encounter any reference to the top (or really any other) audio reviewers when sound quality is discussed in AG forums. Valin (perhaps the most respected) of Ab Sound has said digital can sound excelle... 
Mr. Obvious (?) - digital source (burn)
Transports can but do not always affect sound quality.  No need to go to server unless you hate playing cds but like ripping them.  Streaming is the direction music distribution is heading.  It has the advantage of giving you access to a lot of mu...

I do not think that more money necessarily equals better sound. I think that when an audio professional who listens to a variety of audio gear all the time and communicates frequently with the people who design and build the gear spends $123,000 o... 
A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..
By coincidence I received my January 2019 issue of The Absolute Sound yesterday. I’m looking through the table of contents and I see a review of the MSB Reference DAC and Transport. The blurb says, "After railing mightily against all things digita... 
A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..
I do not want to convert any vinyl people to cd or ask any digiphobes to listen to digital. I have no problem with anyone listening to vinyl exclusively or part-time. Same goes for digital.What I would like to assert is that both analog and digita... 
Roon vs Bluesound
The Bluesound Node 2 is a very good streamer for $500 but it is probably not up to the standard of the rest of your gear.  I think I recall someone opining that Roon sounded better than the Bluesound.  Roon is definitely a better interface with th... 
Dan D'Agostino Interview on/by 'Steve Guttenberg On YouTube'
Thanks for the link. I’m glad that Dan got back to listening as well as measuring. It seems that it worked out well for him. 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
I like to inject some hard data into these debates. Check out this link to data about sales of various formats:https://www.riaa.com/u-s-sales-database/ If you look at the two charts on this page, it’s clear that over the last 45 years digital has ... 
What’s wrong with Diana Krall?
That's unfortunate.  I hope she was just having a temporary illness.  Fame can have detrimental effects on people but let's hope this was just a bad night.  All artists have them. 
Carver Crimson 275 tube amp
The amp is new so you probably won't find much feedback on it.  I'd call Carver and see what they tell you.  Have them compare the sound to the 350s because there is more comment available on those.
