Greetings all,
I am seeking guidance from the vast experience of the Audiogon family on the various aspects of streaming and system set-up for a two channel audio system. Most of the articles and forums I have read tend to focus on computer (PC, Mac, PS) streaming instead of dedicated two-channel systems. I am seeking input on user experiences with cabling and setup for my system.
To give you an idea of my system, please see below:
- Simaudio Moon W-3 Amp @ 120W/channel
- Conrad-Johnson PV-L14 Pre-amp
- Vandersteen Treo CT speakers
- Oppo BDP 105D CD/DVD/BP/Streamer
- Cocktail Audio X-45 Streamer/internet radio, CD Ripper, NAS
- Audioquest HDMI cables (cinnamon/chocolate)
- Synergistic Research Interconnect
- Analysis Plus Silver Oval Interconnect between amp and pre-amp
Considering a Rega P3 TT in the future.
In any case, I am replacing the Simaudio and CJ pre-amp with an Aesthetix Minas Integrated (very exciting). The Mimas will have both a DAC and a Phono card (MM/MC).
I use Tidal for streaming, still have DVDs and blu-Rays, kept a small number of exotic CDs and hope to re-kindle my love for LPs (approx.500) once I have a turntable.
Now on to my reason for this posting: What cables offer the highest resolution 192/384 Khz - 24 bit, etc.) for use with both my X-45 and Oppo 105D?
I'd also be interested in audio clubs/societies in the Fort Lauderdale area.
Thanks for any guidance and advice you are able to provide.
Cheers,
Steve
