Over and over thinking.  
New Audiogon URL restrictions are too much
Sounds like a personal problem.

Anybody Using a Portable Audio Player (DAP) As a Streamer?
@eddnog Beats me, doesn’t matter, all you can do is try. IBasso sounded good at their booth. I have an A&K and it sounds flat compared to my Cowon. This means squat ainregard to what you are attempting. Go for it.

To loom or not to loom?
@1971gto455ho Welcome to the gibberish club. Glad to have you in. We have many upstanding members like @carlsbad2 and those that have chosen to ignore this nonsense like @jasonbourne52 Though cleverness was no objective I guess we should have ... 
To loom or not to loom?
No loom for me, especially this kind of salesmanship nonsense.  
Questioning my Oppo Sonica dac?
@danham  I know what the source is.. One DAC consistently reports 24 bits even with mp3s.     
Questioning my Oppo Sonica dac?
You are paying for better sound. If you can’t tell the difference, don’t pay. Every DAC I’ve ever owned displays the wrong resolution and/or bitrate. BFD
