thanks all
my system is always changing while remaining a 2 channel music streaming system at heart
I would say I favour pieces that can act as tools....in the sense that they have the potential to play nice with a wide variety of other components
I'm newer to this but have gone in deep over the past couple years
I've come close to establishing certain baselines with amps and speakers, this has taken some work
the dac / streamer part still has me learning as I have great difficulty hearing differences with these components
I enjoy buying and switching gear and trying new things
I'm not a traditional audiophile by any stretch and don't quite see or maybe understand how you guys view gear...still trying to learn,
I enjoy music in many forms,
grew up heavy on the club scene and car audio scene...later concerts of all types
