Creek, Rega, Oppo CD Player/DAC
Nonoise & Rello, I did look at Marantz. The 8400 & 8500 only have one pair of RCA analog outputs. My Creek amp will take balanced and I also hace a Schiit Valhalla headphone amp that only has RCA inputs. The Oppo 105 has balanced and singl... 
Creek, Rega, Oppo CD Player/DAC
As far as I can see, no one has said that the Rega is worth over twice the price of the Oppo (and the Creek has not even been released yet). I'm ordering the Oppo and giving the Dragonfly to my wife for her Mac laptop. This is my office, and I wil... 
Audience "The One" or Dynaudio Excite X12
Thanks for the response. I've got one of the new Creek Evo 50a amps on the way. I think it will be a perfect match for the Spendors.

New Amp for Dynaudio Contour S 1.4 Speakers
Thanks for you thoughts Extravaganza. I'm looking for a power amp, not an integrated, and currently I'm leaning toward the Modwright KWA 100 SE.

I would be using the amp to drive Dynaudio Contour S 1.4 speakers. 
Ayre vs Primare
I really do appreciate all the feedback from everyone. Mu6, I checked the price on a Bladelius Thor Mk2 and at five grand, its a bit over my budget. The Primare products are not a house brand as one of the other posters claimed. The British public... 
Time to upgrade my PS Audio Quintet
Well here's what I'm going to do. I've got two electrical outlets behind my audio cabinet and I have ordered a Tesla Plex for one and a Porter Port for the other. An electrician friend of mine is going to install them for me and then quote me a pr... 
Time to upgrade my PS Audio Quintet
Jdub39 , I'm using a DH Labs Power Plus cable from the wall to the Quintet. I originally used a PS Audio AC-10, but after comparing it to the DH Labs cable, I sold the AC-10. By comparison, the PS Audio cable was bright and edgy, although it went ...
