Description
Dedicated power lines feed the hospital grade connectors.
I got Mojo-Audio’s last usb only DAC. (Upgraded the opamps to Staccato.)
Benjamin also built a Linux based i5 32g ram NUC with his Dejavu software and jRiver.
Added a Luminati power supply for the NUC.
Took some doing and ran a cat 6a Ethernet cable to the computer. The Dejavu software has a Qobuz interface.

Still holds air.
Diffuser panels / sound absorbing Bought off Amazon
Initially bought 2 diffuser panels and one sound absorber for behind my head.
Set the diffusers on top of chair. The improvement was immediate! 👍👍
Got two more and set them on the floor. Holy cow. Brought out some bass and settle out the highs. 👍👍👍
I pretty much scoffed at room treatments.
No more.

Ahh simplicity; couldn't agree more. Would you prefer to fiddle with components and cables or listen to music?
Spme pics would be nice.
