Which artist do you absolutely love, but own nothing by the them?
But tell us shtinkydog, how do you live life without queueing up "The Seeds of Love" every so often. Such a fine album. Badman's Song is like a bravery pill for me. Oleta Adams' voice caressing my ears. "Faith can move mountains. Fire can cleanse ...

Anyone used a HDMI to stereo rca adapter

Good looking Towers for < $2000?

Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software?

Not sure about the bridge but I know Roon is operating on a lot of Macs/PsAudio Dacs. 
Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software?
Just to echo kijanki and say that XLD ripped some CDs bitperfect that I thought were goners. My GF found some old bare CDs in the glove compartment of her car that had been there for years. Jewel boxes totally MIA. Scratched, stained, and stuck to... 
Alternative to JRiver for PS Audio PWD II with bridge and Mac Mini
