How do I find a specific song in Qobuz
This is an excellent question. My experience with Qobuz searches has been challenging at times. I can say that the search engine has improved over time.   
Re-Appreciating Good Audio
I am using the home theater bypass function of my Simaudio Moon Ace connected to my Yamaha AV receiver for the front left and right channels of my 5.1 setup. If I want to listen to music, I just use the ACE. I don't know if your Luxman has that ca... 
Is there a better all-in-one streamer/DAC/Integrated Amp under USD 5K?
I am extremely happy with my Simaudio Moon ACE all-in-one. It checks all the boxes.  
Integrated all in one for a second system
I am using a Moon ACE in my home theater in bypass mode.   
Do I need upgraded power cables?
The first thing that I would replace are the stock power cables for the SVS subwoofers. Audioquest, Shunyata and Audience have some affordable choices that make a big difference over the stock cord. Make sure any amplifiers are plugged directly in... 
The best opening act you've ever seen & heard?
Technically not an opener but 2nd on the billing, U2 playing before Todd Rundgren at the Concert for Children show at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill 1983. It was raining and Bono climbed the stage scaffolding during their set.  
Seeking to Upgrade Subwoofer from SVS SB2000
There are a lot of different opinions regard SVS subwoofers. I own a SB3000 which I have low pass filter set at 33hz with my Dynaudio Emit 50s. I had tried several crossover settings from 50hz as recommended by SVS down to 40-42hz as recommended b...

Lack of Surround Sound Signal from TV to Processor... Why?
I had the same problem when I connected a Toslink cable. Check your optical TV output to make sure that it is set to pass through. Otherwise, it will only output 2 channel sound. Check the processor settings as well to make sure that it is set to ... 
Difference between Bluesound Node, Node 2, Node 2i, NodeX
A Bluesound representative told me the least expensive upgrade to the Node X was replacing the stock power cord. I hooked up a Transparent Audio Hardwired C7 power cord and was very happy with the changes. I am currently running coax out to my Moo... 
Room Treatment suppliers
I got a free room analysis from GIK and they recommended soffit traps floor to ceiling in my room as a start. They also gave me recommendations for incremental additions since i did not want to go all in to start. After having the soffit traps for... 
SVS or REVEL Subwoofer
Since you already have bass traps, I would recommend  the SVS SB 3000. I have a larger room (12 x 22) and after fine tuning placement, crossover and level by ear, the integration with my Dynaudio Emit 50 floor standers is spot on. I listen to a lo... 
Subwoofer
I just upgraded from a GoldenEar ForceField 4 to a SVS SB-3000 in my setup.  There is a dramatic difference in depth of soundstage.The only way I can describe it is to say that it is like night and day. One subwoofer can be integrated into your sy... 
Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno
I just purchased a pair of Dynaudio Emit 50 speakers that fit what you are looking for without breaking the bank account. I also use Transparent speaker cables.  
Recommendation for Digital Coax
Transparent Cable is a good option
