Zesto Andros 1.2
Just don't go by cost as a measure of performance. Yeah, ah, no. That's not what I'm doing. But most of the time, allowances have to be made for a certain price point.  That said, when the dust settles I may prefer the SPL. There are no guaran... 
McCormack DNA 0.5 vs. DNA 2.0 Deluxe
I agree with @soix on this one.   But here's my take on the DNA 2. Years ago I had a pair of DNA 1 Deluxe monoblocks driving some magnepans. On a whim I bought a DNA 2 thinking it might be better. Compared to the monos, it was rolled off on the ...

It makes about as much sense as a person randomly capitalizing words. Which is to say neither makes much sense. I guess it’s a mystery for the ages.

Must be using some sort of talk to text program. But if so, it is definitely a glitchy one.

@pindac   No response to the question I posed to you above?    
Tube Phonostage Causing Rumble and Noises
@bpoletti is correct. Your turntable is sitting in a “hot spot”, a zone where bass frequencies are being amplified. If it’s near a corner, try moving it.

The Spatial Audio X3s had no issues with rock or any bass heavy material. In fact, it was some of the best bass I’ve heard in my room. The speaker had other issues that led me to move them on, but articulate and deep bass was not one of them.  
Anyone with Aric Audio experience?
I owned the Super KT SE amp a few years ago. Like all of Arics offerings, it sounds much more powerful than its rated output. I used it with EL34s most of the time and those 12 watts were plenty with a pair of Cornwall IVs.

@pindac    Why the capitalization of random words in a paragraph? All of your posts exhibit this.  
Did I damage my new amp
 Buy a dedicated streamer and only use your phone or iPad to control the app. Volume control would only come from the preamp.  
DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE
@ghdprentice The Pontus is anything but analytical. No way I would live with it if this were so.   @mbmi 3500.00? I thought the Toubadour V was 6k?  
Did I damage my new amp
If you are using an app like Lumin, Sense or some other streamer app, you can fix the volume. What are you using to stream?  
Did I damage my new amp
I hope you sort this out. But here’s one little tip for you. If your streaming involves using the volume control on your phone, you aren’t doing it right.

@silverfoxvtx1800  All I can say is you have owned the wrong tube gear if that is your take on reliability. I have been a tube guy for 25 years with very few issues. And my view is the polar opposite of yours. SS is good for casual listening, but...
