Cool. Btw, have you seen that Fezz audio is selling a DAC designed by Lampizator? Pretty reasonable price too, $3k for single ended, $4k for balanced version.
DAC/Streamer/PreAmp
I hope this question will allow everyone to have some fun. I have a pair of Focal Sopra 3 (I dont consider them bright, but just right), 2x REL S812 subs, and a Bryston 6bsst2 amp. I know it is a 3 channel amp. It was being used in my Movie Theater. Going forward I will be using it for a 2 channel system until I decide to buy mono blocks. This 2 channel system will only be streaming digital music, but might consider adding a photo stage later, so would like analogue inputs. The room is fully treated from 30hz on up, and is 16'w x 30'd x 10'h.
I am looking for a Streamer/DAC/Preamp to run this system. I really do not want to add a computer to this system to run files through it. I prefer a plug and play solution. It can be one piece or 3 separates. I like a rich sound from top to bottom. I prefer a sound like Aretha Franklin over Allison Krause. I would like a big Soundstage. I also have 1 gig speed thriugh ethernet. The final item is the budget. I really like Value, so if you can come in below the budget it will be considered. $10-20k USD max. Will consider new and used. I have considered T+A, Naim, Mola Mola, and some other manufacturers, but would like yalls input.
Let's Go!!!

@mdalton i had not seen that till you said this. That is pretty awesome. I like the design a lot. There is something about the glow of the tubes in the dark while listening to music. |
Time to bump this thread. I am now able to purchase a tube linestage. I am considering a
Cary Audio Design SLP-05 (used) BAT VK-80 (used) Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme (new or used) Tubes4Hifi SP14 upgraded (new)
Trying to stay below $10k. Would like more lush and nusical sound without losing the crisp sound.
My equipment as stated above is Innuos Pulsar, Lampizator Atlantic TRP DAC, Bryston 6b SST2 amp, Focal Sopra 3. If you are wanting to know why I have a 3 channel amp is because I am running a Focal Sopra Center on it also. I am running bother Bkue Jean Speaker cables and World's Best Mogami Interconnects single ended. |
