| Let's Talk DAC's Emotiva XDA-3, excellent sounding dac/preamp. | |
| Streamer with variable digital output Maybe the Bluesound is the only one . That's why it is featured with the GaN1 on the Peachtree site. | |
| Streamer with variable digital output I think there may be a bit of confusion here. All the streamers with volume pots or software volume, only controls the analog out volume. I am not aware of any that that controls the digital out. | |
| I am streaming , how can I play music when provider goes down. FM tuner | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k Mcintosh MDA200, upgradable with the analog stage of the C53. $4000 new, but there is a nice one on US Audio Mart for around $3000. Incredible detail wnd imaging. | |
| Eversolo DMP A6 with or without preamp Trade in the C2300 for a digital preamp. I have the MDA200, it has the preamp section from the C53, and it sounds wonderful straight into my 7270. I prefer a dac/preamp combo with separate streamer, as compared to streamer/dac with separate pre... | |
| Eversolo DMP A6 with or without preamp I have gone back and forth with trying dacs straight to amps, and with preamps. Straight into the amp always sounds different, not necessarily better, depends on the dac . Some will sound good at first, then you realize it doesn't really have t... | |

You could have the best modem or router inside, but you have no idea how fragile the outside infrastructure is. Especially if you are still on copper cable. There... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing I can't imagine your list of cables They probably make more differences than the dacs. | |
| Digital signal control The adjustments are being made in the Sonos app before the signal is sent to the Schiit dac. | |
| Question about volume matching What do you mean by barely turned up ? You can enjoy tube sound at any level. It seems you have a lot of gain, are you using the balanced out of the dac going to the preamp? If so you could change to the RCAs, that will probably output less gain. | |
| Is my HDMI audio out really an i2s connection? I have a Sony UBP-X1100ES, and I tried the hdmi marked audio out, into my McIntosh MDA200 dac hdmi input, and got nothing. I used a SACD which played fine using the coax. I guess it's only for input from a TV , but i don't see why it shouldn't ... | |

| The LRS+ Speakers +1 for the .7, have mine for over a year, amazing Soundstage and imaging. You just have to play with positioning, and add a sub to help the bottom end. |
