It is an annual event in Vermont. Spring comes for a couple of weeks, everyone relaxes, and then we are hit with a storm of wet snow or worse. Oh well.

I was thinking of getting one of those for my macbook to listen to the lossless files on Apple Music, but the guy who owns a local hi-fi shop told me he didn't think they were worth the money; didn't think I'd hear very much difference from just using a high end bluetooth receiver. He said he only sells those to very wealthy clients who want every gadget at any price..lol. I don't know if he's correct, but the difference in sound with the $200 BT receiver I bought is phenomenal.

"The gayageum or kayagum (Korean: 가야금; Hanja: 伽倻琴) is a traditional Korean musical instrument. It is a plucked zither with 12 strings, though some more recent variants have 18, 21 or 25 strings. It is probably the best known traditional Korean musical instrument."

Just got home, wanted to answer this post-there is a little truty to what he says (it doesn't make sense to get a $1k Streamer to drive a $20 Bluetooth speaker), but the idea that there's no such thing as better sound, better sounding gear, is just hogwash (and it doesn't have to be something you need to be a Billionaire to afford).
My $0.02.
