I can only imagine behind your sofa or a probably-custom one under the divan -would that be? Or, I'd shop for or custom-order a "subwoofer soundbar", maybe to match the speakers. I have never used a sub in the first 4 decades of my advanced hi-fi life; but, I did want to note that you do have...

... may merely be one more, the latest, spotify-maybe-finally. Whenever, they will be the last, now that even Apple began offering some level of "hi-res" -last year, was it? Amazon used to charge extra for their hi-res tier, but when they dropped that several years ago, I dropped spotify and...

I believe you have: the benefits are sales for manufacturers and modernity bragging rights for users. Streaming is primarily about software/"apps", and all I need is a couple of streaming apps on a Surface tablet and a DAP, each connected wired or wirelessly to a stereo and speakers, or to...

are you suggesting this is a bad thing?

It is neither a massive problem nor an urban myth. It is simply something to learn, file, and enjoy the nice images. I've used OLED screens on my TVs, and mostly on phones, probably since it's been available, and have not had a single problem, fortunately. I learned early on that I should not...

You'll like it. I've had only minis for 12 years. I started with a Fujitsu model and currently have two Intel NUCs, one from 2017 and the other 2023 when I also considered Beelink. My three through Amazon as well, of course.

Plastic... more "quality sound" recordings. Maybe setting up or improving a secondary system? Is your musical joy portable? Otherwise, you are set: wait until it becomes evident to you what you want next.

Suggest considering Martin Logan and Mission options, They've both been doing it well for a long time.

Also, Sennheiser, among others, ships (some of?) theirs with replaceable cables, so that can give you flexibility. My two open-back HD598s are discontinued, but there are others. I have a shorter cable for portable use, along with the stock one. Fortunately, the connections are standard/not...

A lot of generalization here... I also much prefer wired headphones and earphones, and over- vs. in-ear. But, I can enjoy my music with all my keepers in their various forms. There are so MANY options out there, along with SO-flexible and accessible purchasing and trialing; plus, I'm...

They did 40 years ago on my original One! ;)

I use a Yamaha DVD-S1800 to play SACDs, and especially CDs. It sounds so sweet regardless of what I play on it. It is installed in my 2-channel-always system and has only played music disks including DVD-A. The S1800 is equipped with 4 Burr-Brown processors for audio. It is connected to one of...

Indeed, she is very much a regular for me.

Some must, to reproduce digital streams -at least. So. I'd need to add two to my array above.

FWIW, my original 25wpc ONE still sounds very nice at 40, and ever without a PSU. Ditto for the Mission 700s I bought with it.
