My Aurender N150 is stuck in repeat mode
@txp1 glad to hear that clearing cache resolved the shuffle and repeat issues.  congrats on the N200!  
Lumin U1/U2 versus T3

Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Unfortunately @mahgister giant killers are a myth….they don’t exist.  Is there garbage that’s massively overpriced? Absolutely. But, high quality and high performance typically has a corresponding price tag. This applies to everything - audio, vid...

@curiousjim what’s the delivery date?  
Lumin U1/U2 versus T3
U2 is good. U1 is still relevant.  Worth experimenting with a good USB cable from Lumin to DAC. Good chance it might beat the coax interface.   
How would you spend my next $5K?
Not the analog rig - don’t start this unless you already have significant collection and significant desire to play it.  Without listening to your system…hard to tell. But… Acoustic treatment wouldn’t be a good investment. Upgrading the power su...
