I found a used Moon 891 for about 16,500 or so so when I was looking for just a streamer I was in the 5,000 to 6,000 price range and as for what was needing in my system the Oppo is great as a player but the preamp section sometimes is bit lacking as for sound I like all accurate reproduction tight bass as most people say the personas are a little bright but if the recording is good I don't find them to be bright .I really want to get into streaming and want it to be easy to use when I get time to listen to music I just want to turn the system on and enjoy the music.
I need some advice
I am starting to build my retirement system only for two channel . My system as of now is Oppo UDP -205 that I use for CDs and Concert DVDs and as my Pre amp Speakers are Paradigm Persona 5Fs and I have a old BGW Amp . so I was wondering what would be my best option getting a good streamer and than a pre amp or something like the Moon Simaudio 891 network player / streamer that also has a DAC in it .I have never been sure about 3 things in one box .
