Newbie Q about DACs - built in or separate?
Thank you for providing some clarity. I can see I need to critically listen with the options I have before adding another component.  Q - if I were to look at a separate DAC, should I stay within a price range so as not to overbuy for my system? ... 
Back to the DAC
I’ll take some time tomorrow to figure out how to do that (post new thread). Thx for the encouragement. I’m looking for an answer that’s not another persons favorite component. I cant fault responders except say it doesn’t always appear to be pert... 
Back to the DAC
I’m a real nubie regarding the nuances of separates vs integrated units. I have McIntosh MA8900 integrated amp with DA2 upgrade, a Naim Uniti Core CD ripper streamer, and Luxman D 07X SACD player, along with Von Schweikert Endeavour speakers. All ... 
Borresen and Von Schweikert
Nyaudio - are all yours post as unhelpful as the one above? Idiot.   
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
It’s interesting to see how “what is old, becomes new”. I had a ten band equalizer that I used with my first (nice) stereo receiver. Back in the1970s I had a Pioneer SX550 (can’t believe that the model number just came back to me!) with 20 WPC. S... 
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
I have Macintosh MA8900 .  I sparingly use its 5 bandequilizer. It helps with room acoustics.   
Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like?

Full range speaker recommendation
I’m kinda new to high end audio - at least from the perspective the brands that seem to be frequently suggested by readers.  Q. Is B&W too much a mass market product that it’s not cool to suggest it? Or are their products just not as sonicall... 
Another person going digital and full of questions
Just read catdoors post. Even more credence to buying NAIM Uniti Atom or Uniti Nova.  All in one with quality circuitry & architecture.   
Another person going digital and full of questions
Be always liked the less mainstream audio products like NAIM. The build quality is amazing and DAC quite good.  I’m too cheap (says the guy w $25k in equip) to pay to download great music that I have on extensive CD collection, so I rip stuff (los... 
Stratospheric audio gear prices
If you think audio equip is expensive... check out watches!The usual suspects Patek & Vacheron as well as the more mainstream brands of mechanical watches can get really stupid high $. Then there are the independent watchmakers $$$It’s all per... 
The two most common mistakes are bass and treble
I even see I. Audiophile community- referring to the same 3-4 brands of “high end” speakers over and again when they describe their systems.
