DAC options to consider for Innuos streamer
I own an Innuos Zenith MK II SE as mentioned by psnyder149. I agree with his comments in particular that the Sense OS sounds much better than Roon. I have recently tested in my system more than a dozen DACs from $5k-$25k. I selected what I believe... 
Sound quality of Roon
I must say that I agree with Grannyring, I have tried Roon for many years and it is the best music mgmt software yet available. That said, however, I believe it falls short of the mark as it relates to SQ. Not bad but certainly not setting any ben...

Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies?
Many very well respected amps mentioned. Whichever you choose do yourself a favor and take a close look at Hegel; as others have recommended. I would suggest the H360 which is an excellent amp/DAC/streamer that you can acquire on the after market ... 
So I just bought a Hegel H390 and
Hi JD. Congratulations on your new Hegel H390. Excellent choice. I had a H360 for a few years in my 2ch system in a room 14'x25'. I enjoyed the H360 for a few years and auditioned the H390 soon after it was released. While I was very pleased and i...

What isolation feet under your amp with great result?
NasamanI have tried different footers over the years and was very disappointed with Sorbothane or the like. They sucked the life out of the music. I have had very nice results with Ansuz DTC Darkz footers. They quote expensive but performed quite ...

aobscura, I own a Hegel H360 and an H390. I have auditioned many speakers in the last few years and I found an almost perfect marriage for both Hegel amplifiers with a little know speaker manufacturer from Finland that deliver exceptional performa...

Hegel USB and ROON suport
The issue of the Roon and Innuos not recognizing each other was easily resoled. The problem was that when the Innous software was booted up for the first time, it had an error loading that was the case of the problem. Once rebooted, it worked flaw... 
High value, giant killer speakers?
I have auditioned many speakers over the years from $3k-$300k and IMHO I was blown away when I heard a little known speaker in the USA that was reasonably priced retail $6k that crushes many speakers more than 5x,10x their price. The speaker is ma...
