Integrated amp + DAC + room correction all-in-one for Nola Boxer 1 + REL R328 sub

Thanks for the info

Since this is turning into a Micromega M100/150 thread, I've got a couple questions as I'm contemplating setting up the M100 when it arrives.  Let me know if I should start a Micromega M-One thread to make life easier.

For hooking up a subwoofer:  They state the sub out has a 400 Hz low pass filter.  Most subs seem to only be adjustable up to 160 Hz or so.  Is there a gap there or don't I understand the low pass filter?  I'll probably hook up the sub (Adire Audio Rava) at speaker output and fun my speakers full range to avoid this.  But if there is an advantage to the sub out, I'd like to understand.
Also, the online manual really doesn't go into network connections.  The M100 doesn't have WiFi, correct?  So it needs to be done by ethernet?  My router is quite a ways away from the rig.  Can I get a WiFi extender and run ethernet from that to the M100?  Will I get better sound with a Mac Mini through USB?  That will be kind of a pain because my library is on my main desktop and keeping the libraries synced may be difficult.  Sorry for the basic questions, but I can at least spend the time waiting for arrival making sure I have the correct auxiliary components and cables.  Thanks

Thanks.  I’ll try on Monday.  It might be good to get some general answers posted here as well for future users.  I can update as I learn.

I am using an extender with one ethernet port to hook up the m 100 it doesn't have wifi. My wifi router is kinda old and I need to get a new one with ac ability  but so far it works running jriver using gizmo as the app control. It isn't the best sound the cdp is a lot better. My computer is old as well and it doesn't run jriver that great it can freeze it up. With fairly new computer and a good ac router and extender it should work pretty good. I don't use a sub. Looks like the amp has a limit of 400 I think you control the crossover at the sub you can't set it higher than 400 is what I think that means. The android app for the m100 really sucks don't know about the iOS app. If you got the MARS correction it works really well  at least in my sub optimal room. Took me two  tries to get it right still might tweak a bit more, you need to run it each time you move the speakers around so try to get as good a sound as possible first. 

Netgear extender 85 bucks at Best Buy

Jriver on the  same network works great.

Jremote to control.

You can setup Jriver to audiophile network stream to provide 24/192k over network sounds way better than CD run that way.

Isoacoustics and good power.

Thanks both.  I've got good power from a Purepower 1050 and an Audience Powerchord I may use on it (if it will fit).  Got Isoacoustics.  I'll read up on Jriver.  What I had read previously was that it wasn't very user friendly.  My goal at the end of this is something my wife will want to use as well.

What media server you running. I was a bit worried but jriver found the m100 right off. It does have a learning curve at least for me. 

Before I was using a Logitech Transporter from my Mac's iTunes.  Anyone tried the sound of Airplay yet?

My goal is to get a dedicated streamer server like a Sony HAP 1zes or maybe an Auralic Altair with a hard drive. Seems like it would be easier to use. The Sony and Auralic have wifi 

Djones there are better streamers for less money, and the Altair has a dac in it you dont need. 

If you want a great Roon streamer Inuous Zen $1200 wonderful sound and build quality.

Sorry to revive an older thread but I'm hoping folks subscribed to this discussion may have some insight...

I currently have a Hegel HD30 DAC, H30 amp, and Revel Concerta 2 F36 (the speakers may seem like the weak link, but they sound far superior to my ears compared to many other speakers I've had that cost multiples/thousands more... so I'm "dabbling" in Revel's entry level before deciding to move up the stack). Cables are various Ansuz (C2) and I'm using power conditioning. Digital front end is an Aurender 100 (USB-out only).

Here's my frustration... the system sounds incredibly high-resolution and nuanced, but yet lacks an organic musicality or "soul" that stops just shy of becoming emotionally involving. I suspect most of this signature is related to the digital front-end/DAC.

So I've been looking for a musical sounding DAC for some time but have been reluctant to buy blind... and also frustratingly most well-regarded DACs omit volume control which would necessitate the $$ purchase of a pre-amp (and additional pair of balanced cables). 

So I'm theorizing... the Micromega M100 gives me several options... one of which is likely to improve sound quality along the lines I'm hoping for (more organic/musical/lush): A) use it as a pre-amp; B) use it as a DAC/Pre-amp; C) use it as a DAC/Pre-amp/amp. You get the ideal... basically it would allow me to see what changes in my system might move the needle of the sonic signature I'm after (DAC, Pre-amp, and even amp).

I'd love your thoughts...

Thanks!!
