Stretching out with other worldly and US jazz influenced music

I will listen, thank you! 

Meanwhile this Eddie Harris cover has the best (and only?) hyperrealist painting of an electrical plug I’ve ever seen. This is truly where vinyl has no equal - try looking at cover art on a 3x3 streamer screen - but dont let me get started 😃

This is an amazing thread and I have learned so much. I see a lot of YouTube links in this thread. My question to you is other than listening on your laptop or phone, how do you stream YouTube through your system? Thanks.

As you said, laptop or phone. Both actually make pretty decent transports when used with player software that bypasses the device's audio stack.

They significantly exceed YouTube's resolution and sound quality, and that's all I'm gonna say 😃

Hi John,

Glad you’re here. I’ve since sold my EverSolo DMP- A8 Network Streamer, DAC, Preamp and my Laiv Harmony µdac and have been using my laptop not only to take quick listens but also as a unsuspecting tool for listening as well as posting. 

As I right this post, I’m saving up for a used full sized Laiv Harmony dac. I also still needle drop too.

To go along with what @devinplombier suggests you can also connect your flat screen tv to the often not used toslink inputs connections of your analog integrated amplifier, stereo receiver, preamp or dac by using your often not used output toslink connections of your flat screen tv through your two channel stereo system and watch youtube videos on your flat screen tv that way also. Think of it as a quick and inexpensive way of making your stereo system similar to a home theater setup

          Toslink Output - >       Toslink Cable  - >       Toslink Input                      

Flat Screen TV - > Integrated Amp or Stereo Receiver or Preamp or Dac
