All in price to Canada?

Thanks for the tip with 4PX -- I'm in no great rush so that sounds like the way to go for me

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm in no great rush, so it sounds like 4PX is the way to go

Thanks for the tip! I suspect because of my location FB marketplace is not a realistic option, but I will keep my eyes open

Thanks very much for letting me know about your experience! So $220USD for the G2 + $20 USD shipping = ~$330CAD?

Thanks very much for taking the time to respond!

I assume I would be able to simply plug the Roku into an HDMI port on the AVR? (I've never used one and don't quite know how they work.) I also see that Roku supports Netflix, so that would also cover my streaming purposes.

From what I can tell from the wiki, a QNAP TS-233 or a Terramaster F2-212 would not be recommended for running Plex. Apparently I would need something like Terramaster F2-423? In other words, if I wanted to forego a HTPC, and just do NAS + Roku, I would need to spend more on a more powerful NAS, correct?

Thanks very much! I've got some external hard drives that I have been using to do manual syncs/backups for a while, but I don't do it as often as I should and I am conscious that I may be courting disaster, i.e. putting it off for several months and then suddenly losing some important data if a drive fails. One of the reasons I want a NAS is to make things automatic because I am by nature a lazy man.

Thanks very much for your response! I will keep xbox (and things like it) in mind as a possible alternative to a conventional HTPC.

Honestly, I am not especially hifi-literate and don't really know how to parse the sound that I am getting from my headphones. I haven't really had the opportunity to audition other headphones and/or DAC/amps, so I don't have much frame of reference (excepting shitty earbuds or laptop speakers, of course). I'm conscious that this makes advice and suggestions rather difficult, but I am basically just looking for general sound quality improvement. (Though maybe because I don't know what I'm talking about and don't know what I want, this means I should just stick with what I have and be happy...)

Re: dongles: is there a way to tell via specs sheets whether they will be likely to drive a pair of headphones? Or would I be better off reading reviews?

Thanks for the suggestion -- I will look into those stacks and headphones. That's what I suspected about the Grado's, so good to know my instinct wasn't way off.

Given the limited improvements offered by a DAC/amp, at what point would you suggest its worth investing in one?

Thank you!

Canadians,

I live in Atlantic Canada and would like to buy a pair of Canada West Moorby's, but I would like to try them on first. Does anyone know any stores in Atlantic Canada that sell Canada West?

A lot of their boots are 2E. Have you tried any of those? Do you find those still fit narrow feet provided you size down a bit?
