Thanks mijostyn, The SL 545's look great, but even if I sold my speakers they are way over my budget.And both the SL's and the Maggies are a little "Majestic" as suggested. ~P

These ML's were originally purchase for another home and sounded just fine. That home was remodeled around the speakers. That remodel was all about hard surfaces, which unlike most speakers the ML's are very adaptable too and sounded very good (ye...

I'm not sure if one strand of copper is better than another, but what I do care about how well a power cable is shielded. I've have had some pricey cables in the past but they did not pass this simple voltage meter test as described here:  https:...

spenva, how many Shunyata Defenders (SD) do you need? One for each outlet that has audio gear plugged into? In my case, I have powered speakers, so one each for them as well? Or would it be one per household circuit? I also run all my power cords ... 
New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC
I'm missing something here. Is it not the DAC that dictates the end musical result?  How does one streamer sound better than another (without an onboard DAC)?Similar to that of a CD player being used solely on its own, compared to being coupled to... 
New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC
Inotherwords, Ethernet to streamer then what?If the DAC and streamer is in one box I get it, but if you are using your Pass Labs DAC, how do you connect to that now, USB? Is that what you are trying to get away from? I'm still trying to wrap my he...

New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC

Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist?
I actually have a brand new one for sale with a 1 TB SSD ($500 option) and I may consider even throwing in the .5M W4S i2s cable as part of the deal.https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649500214-wyred-4-sound-ms1-music-serverstreamer/digital129460...
