Bricasti Model 1 Series II DAC
Can someone post pictures of the new display?  I will likely upgrade my M1SE/MDx/Network player to the M1series ii but wondering about the color display.  
Does Anyone Know What is Up with High Fidelity Cables?
Interesting reading. I placed an order October 1st and haven’t heard a word since mid November when I was told it would be 2 weeks.   
SOtM player?
I use Jriver on a pc and the sms-200 ultra as a dlna device.  Then I use Jremote as the remote app.  I have this working for 5 years now.  It's pretty bullet proof until iOS has an update.  Might be the same issue with android.  I play on any iPad...

High Fidelity Cables MC 1-PRO

questions for TW Acustic Raven One owner
you can add some sparkle with an aftermaket copper mat, changing the feet to cones, using a bronze armboard. but the sound is as others describe. muscular, can be a bit thick, full but also very dynamic and somewhat forgiving. bass is deep and ric...

Phono preamp for Dynavector XX2mkII
I'm using an Aqvox 2Ci MkII. I wanted all XLR as well. Changing the power cord, adding a HiFi Tuning fuse and turning off (make sure you have input caps downstream) the coupling caps made a big improvement to the sound. 
Placette passive and phono stage
What amp and speaker do you have? Would you know the input sensitivity of the amp? I'm guessing you will need at least 72 dB gain before the amp.
