Re: Too Much Music
I know the feeling (playing the same 20 albums over and over), and the suggestion to try streaming new music is a very good one.

Re: Magico S3 (2023) Listening Impressions
I bought my S5MkII as floor demos with the thought that their replacement must be coming soon. That was 3 yrs ago!

"These devices work on the quantum mechanical level to eliminate sub-audible noise—i.e., noise unmeasurable by typical test-bench instruments." :weird:

Re: Least expensive and best way to stream music to a DAC???
That's pretty much what I've gleaned from looking at the products and how people use them. Few people on the forums run an integrated networked-streamer/player like I do.
