Moving up from an Oppo 205
Does anyone like the Aurender A10?streaming , storage, and DAC all in one ?  I do like my Aurender N100. And my Oppo but my goal is again one box that does all for 2ch file playing and streaming . And gain a noticeable SQ improvement.  The Oppo wi... 
Moving up from an Oppo 205
Yes I would agree, I have experienced noticeable improvement with cables. Current a Shunyata Venom USB cable which was an upgrade from a previous Audioquest wich was an upgrade from a basic USB cable.  Also I have realized noticeable improvements ... 
Moving up from an Oppo 205
Oh I agree the Oppo 205 is really impressive. And I will not be letting it go!it’s a shame that Oppo quit making these products.  Again what I am searching for is an upgrade for my 2 ch audio only by way of a noticably better DAC and or combinatio... 
Moving up from an Oppo 205
Yes but are these a noticeable improvement in sound quality over the Oppo 205, or simply comparable ?Thanks 
Moving up from an Oppo 205
Good question which brings up another question of what would be the price range for improvement.  So there are some in the 2-3k range such as Mytek, then there are as several in the 5-6k range such as PS Audio etc. all the way up to DCS with a Bar... 
Audio Research LS 26 vs LS 28
Yes, that does help answer the question thank you 
Audio Research LS 26 vs LS 28
Yeah, same reason some people are loyal to Mercedes. I did not ask what's the best car ever, just describe the improvements from a 2009 Mercedes E class to a 2019 Mercedes E class.  Not asking the question is a 1979 Ferrari better ...

Amp recomendations for WATT/puppy v6.
Hello, I am right now listening to my WP6’s paired with my McIntosh MC402 SVS amp and McIntosh C2500 tube pre.  To me (and my other pro audio friends who have heard it) sounds just wonderful.  Are there “better” amps? Yes.  Are there more expensiv... 
ARC Ref3 or McIntosh C2300/2500
Very good explanation shadorne, and I would agree completely. Whichever path one chooses, I believe it is best to have the Pre Amp and Amp from the same manufacture and from the same era for optimal pairing and experience the complete sound that e... 
Wilson Watch Dog or JL
Yes thank you for the information.  I aware of the obvious advantages to duel subs and I also have significant room treatments as well as EQ, crossover, time delay, via McIntosh MX150 as well and ME220 room EQ. But for the consideration of this qu... 
JL F113 vrs SVS SB13
Good explination, thanks 
JL F113 vrs SVS SB13
Yes I have room treatments (acoustic panels) as well as a McIntosh MEN220 EQ and cross over  and the sub is properly timed. ricred1, are you saying that the JL F110 out preformed the SVS SB13, yet you are back to SVS? can you elaborate ? 
Shunyata venom digital power cord
I just installed the Venom Digital power cord on my PS Audio Perfect wave DAC and it sounds really good. About 200 hrs on it and I have heard that it will "settle in" with even more hours on it. I had a Shunyata VTX ( popular a couple years ago ) ... 
ARC Ref3 or McIntosh C2300/2500
I should ad that I am trying to keep my budget around $5K for this , hence my interest in REF 3 and or McIntosh C2500 range. Thank you
