Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist?
I use Raspberry Pi SBC as end-points for my networked music system. I have found the Allo DigiOne SPDIF to my Multibit DAC to provide the best Diversity and Emotion in my Music. You build a RasPi/Allo with a clean PSU for under $200. 
Best PC to use as a Server
I can appreciate you wanting a Windows-based system. I use Ubuntu Linux on a $14 computer I bought at Goodwill (I use a $39 SSD in that). I have 10 Tb of external drives and use that as my 'server'.I use Raspberry Pi ($35) computers as endpoints o... 
Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money
Not to cross-pollinate from other threads, but let me assert with a degree of certainty, that any piece of wire, used as an interconnect will be improved by using High Fidelity Cables Magnetic Adapters. I have heard the immediate improvement on th... 
“MQA is a philosophy”..John Stuart
MQA is a psyop. When $300,000 speakers failed to establish "Audiophilia" as a clinical definition of insane, the Audio industry had to work up a new test.

Speaker cable suggestions

It is my understanding that the CT-2 technology will replace CT-1 in the future products. As to whether you should upgrade, it not a obvious answer. If you are interested in a trial, your dealer should allow a trial. If it sounds better, then know...

Okay. I am excited because I have heard an improvement on a very modest entry-level system. I heard it immediately. And over 72, 200, and more hours, it continues to come into song. As for my literary style...I was a Sports Editor in a prior life.... 
Which is better - Hi end CD transport or Music server into DAC?
I prefer my networked music system with SPDIF at the endpoint feeding a Multibit DAC. Most of my CDs were ripped with the transport of a common PC computer. 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
Which makes more difference, the cost of the cable or the sound you hear when you use the cables? I'm not going to say that expensive cables always sound better, but even Monoprice $3 interconnects sound better with HFC Magnetic adapters. I will b...
