Subwoofer switch
I always leave all my equipment on 24/7 except when I'm gone more than a day. It will not hurt anything and is actually better for most equipment. The exception being tube equipment. It's the power surge, the rush of power when a component is firs... 
Audio System Donation
That's a good question that most of us will have to deal with someday. You should be able to find a used record store that will buy whole collections. I have done that. Got rid of a bunch of old records that I did not want. The store bought the wh... 
How can we hear the difference in cables in a bad room?
Another good book I have if you really want to get down in the weeds is "Master Handbook of Acoustics" sixth edition by F. Alton Everest and Ken C. Pohlmann. It covers how the human ear/brain perceives sound as well as many other audio topics.

LOL! Ya there is no fixing bad music.

Hi Martin. Unfortunately if you have a bad sounding room you will be wasting your time and money with little tweeks like trying different cables and even most components with the exception of speakers. You must solve the room problems first. That’...

Good I'm glad you are able to make it work. Unfortunately I have not been able to get mine to work. After talking to Wyred 4 Sound again they think it may be that my DAC2 is too old. E.J says he knows that the newer versions work as he has done it... 
Are "streamers" the new "transports"?
Happy listening! 
Considering an upgrade
I don't know why but every time I post a link on this forum they never work? You may have to just copy and paste the address into your browser. 
Considering an upgrade
The Innuos are some of the very best streamer/servers on the market. I'm saving my penny's for a Zenith Mk3. http://http//innuos.com/en/catalog/go/zenith-mk3-1tb-ssd-black The Wyred 4 sound is very good as well. Check out the reviews on Darko Audi... 
Are "streamers" the new "transports"?
Hey if you are happy at 92% more power to ya! That just means you are more of a music lover than an equipment lover. As long as your wi-fi has the bandwidth you need (and most routers do) you should be fine.  
Are "streamers" the new "transports"?
Yes I think streamer’s and streamer/servers are the new "transports". As far as things that contribute to better sound quality goes it’s the same basic things that are needed with other digital transports. Things like high quality audio grade part... 
Looking for a good solution to cover my TV between the speakers. Cant move it
My solution was to replace my TV with a projector and motorized screen. That won’t work for everyone as it requires being able to make the room dark for watching tv but the end result is truly amazing! Almost the best of both worlds really. Watchi...

So after some more research it looks like that Audioquest Dragon Tail you have is an OTG cable. So you should be all set. I also found iFi Audio makes an audiophile grade OTG cable very similar to the A.Q. Its supposed to be more flexible than the...

Now maybe there is a difference between usb type C connections and usb Micro. That may be it. Glad you got it working.

It's my understanding that OTG cables are different somehow. EJ at Wyred 4 Sound even mentioned that I would probably need an OTG cable. That was before I had even heard of OTG cables.  Not understanding the difference I went ahead and ordered the...
