Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed?
I believe that DAC is a known 'gateway' device. Your desire to upgrade it is typical of a user's path to harder, more devastatingly costly equipment. Titration might help stem the progression. Please, for the sake of your loved ones, stay away fro... 
Most favored hearing aid for audiophiles
Yep. @goldenear1948, I am also interested in what others are using/doing. The effect of the tinnitus for me has meant there are very few moments during the day/night when music or audio of some kind isn't playing. Being alone with the cicadas can ...

The Ghostess with the Mostest...R.I.P.
You mean it wasn't Audrey Hepburn's voice singing in My Fair Lady? I always wondered why Natalie Wood didn't put out any albums.Thanks for posting this @mofimadness My education continues... ...and RIP to a very class singer. 
Need advice
What kind of files are you playing? CD rips? HI-Res? DSD?If DSD is not on your roadmap, then I would definitely listen to one of Schiit's multibit DACs and compare it to one of the DACs you've listed.  
Remembering Phoebe Snow on Her Birthday July 17, 1950
Hey Glen,I finally got a moment to queue Phoebe Snow up and give a good listen. Really transported me back to a time and place. Thanks for the time machine. 
The King Of...

Hey @mofimadness,Agreed. A great album.

Can't get ipad to control Tidal on Mini
Um, no, I haven't heard of that feature. Tidal on the iPad plays on the iPad. Tidal on the Mini plays on the Mini.You can use a remote virtual desktop software like Real VNC to remotely view and operate the Mini from the iPad. You'll need the app ... 
There goes Tidal?
@2psyop That link took me nowhere. Apple buying Tidal?  Hmmm. Maybe the price tag makes it a bargain for Apple and a rescue for Jay Z and other investors.Apple Music now has over 15 million subscribers. Tidal has what? 3 million? How much overlap ... 
Why am I just now discovering Gregory Porter?
Hello @tooblue When I hear about an artist that I'm not familiar with, I check with a couple of music websites. One of my favorites is AllMusic.com. Here is the Gregory Porter discography from there:http://www.allmusic.com/artist/gregory-porter-mn... 
Why am I just now discovering Gregory Porter?
Happy you found him. When I first heard him I thought it was Brook Benton. Great songs, great voice and wonderful arrangements. There’s nothing quite like the feeling when one "discovers" an artist.And Melody Gardot? Don't get me started... There'...
