Incorporating headphones into my pc audio system
I think one question to answer first is are you willing to have a long cable in the room, or do you want a listening station in the immediate area of the computer? 
Incorporating headphones into my pc audio system
Many headphone amps have dacs built into them.  Redundant yes, as you have a dac, but By connecting one to your laptop directly, you can get away with a shorter headphone cable.  You may even decide to buy a portable dac/amp,  should you ever want... 
Need streaming setup help!
I agree with the above poster. I am a big Apple loyalist, but I am not interested in their airports. There are better and faster WiFi routers available.as for the blusound and mytek, this could be nice. Bluesound is a simple device with a mobile a... 
if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it?
Thank you Charles. I agree. In fact I would like a better arm and a better tone arm Cable. Since I originally wrote this post, I sold the subwoofer and Rockport monitors, and bought a pair of Wilson Sophia Series 2 speakers. It was a really nice m...

Did you check meridian explorer 2? 
Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K)
Vermeer,have you considered Wilson Audio?  I know the secondhand market in Portugal is relatively small, But if you can get a pair of Sophia 3, Watt Puppy 8, or even Sasha 1 used, you will get some amazing resolution and detail.  Can your nagra am...

Best DAC for my situation...Read on!
I hear that.  It is certainly a hurdle.  However, it can be easily managed.  For example, I have an older mac mini, with no display, always on, always running roon, always connected to my dac.  I have the timer on the mac restart itself once per d... 
Best DAC for my situation...Read on!
For $2k, I would absolutely recommend the PS Audio Perfect Wave Dac Mark II with Bridge II.  This is a $4800 combination and can likely be had for $2k or perhaps a touch less if you’re lucky.  You may not find them together, but the are compatible... 
South Florida - join in and make a REAL effort!
There is a location in Pinecrest, FL (south suburbs of Miami for those who are not in this immediate area).  It is next to a Trader Joe's.  I was in there about 2-3 months ago.  I have not noticed any signs of permanent closure.  Give them a call.... 
Open Floor Plan Listening Room
That’s a tough one.  I love open plan homes, and I can’t think of a good way to occasionally close off a room - at least in a practical or attractive way.Since you have planars, which are usually a little light in the bass anyway, perhaps adding a... 
My experience with Galen Carol Audio
 Nope. It was just a well-deserved testimonial.  I have no affiliation with the dealer, nor did he  ask me to post anything.   This was a shout out to someone who deserved it, and a heads up to those on this forum looking for a good dealer. 
Wilson Sasha 2 Pre owned?
My friend has the Sasha two’s with audio research electronics. They are incredible. I have Sophia two’s, also with audio research  electronics, And to my ears, they are also incredible!  The Sasha’s have more bass, and more of that holographic sou...
