Any improvement of using 2K$ Dac with Cambridge CXN
Audioman 58 but we used to sell both the Cambridge and the Lumin.  We had both units in the same system and could a/b both at the same time and in the same system, and there was no contest at all, the Lumin completely outclassed the Cambridge.Also... 
PSB T3
Yes we are a PSB T3 dealer, they will do classical very well. The T3 are a very well balanced design.The T3 are one of the true standouts below $10k.Coupled with good electronics they never fail to put a smile on our faces. The only issue might be... 
Pass Labs XA30.8
Paneri a more holographic soundstage will be accomplished by making a few changes:1: Upgrade from the Niagra 1000 to an Audio Magic power conditioner 2: Upgrade from the Rocket 88 not good enough for the system3: Use footers undeneath the preamp a... 
Pass Labs XA30.8
Panerai,A tube like solid state there are many amps which sound somewhat tube like, however, none of these sound like a true tube product.The issue may be other parts of your chain, what are you using for your preamp, digital and cabling?Is the id... 
Low-pass + high-pass?
Dbphd, we have yet to find any passive filters that won't compromise the sound of a great high resolution system.The Kef Ref 1 can play loud and do not really benefit from removing the strain of the bass from the speakers unless your room is huge ... 
Any improvement of using 2K$ Dac with Cambridge CXN
Sell the CX it is a good streamer but not that good, and as a transport you are going to introduce a lot of jitter.All the units you mentioned are great.Mytek Brooklyn Bridge great dac, MQA, good preamp, good heaphone amp.Lumin great app, MQA fant... 
Pass Labs XA30.8
Panerai,We have to note  a point with Dupac's comments, the Bryston 4B3 does he mean the SST3 series,  is a very different amplifier than the newer cubed series. Personally after being a Bryston dealer for a few years we found the Bryston amplifie... 
Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening.
Maguiar why don't you look at the Coda gear, the Coda .8 has the same specs as the Pass Labs 30.8 yet costs a lot less, in Home Theater Review they compared this amp to a twice the price pair of Pass Monoblocks and liked the half as expensive Coda... 
Innuos Statement Review
It really depends on the player, and or dac.We had the T+A PDP 3000 which is one of the most remarkable disc players ever made, the sound on both SACD and Redbook is postitively captivating, giagantic soundstage, tonally smooth with great detail, ... 
Is there any Streamer/DAC/Preamp good enough to replace a dedicated standalone preamp?
Op we sell many high end dacs and streamers and you are going to have a hard time duplicating the Cj sound. A Briscati, Mytek or Lumin are all excellent products but will also sound cleaner and less euphonic then the Act so it all comes down to wh... 
Anyone know what the situation is with Audio Aero?
Dnath, Stay away, although the Audio Aero products sounded marvelous, many products had issues with the transport and sourcing a working replacement was ultimately impossible.Depending on budget there are plenty of good reliable companies to choos... 
Innuos Statement Review
Biketony, congratulations, on your digital journey and welcome to the Innous family.We did a fascinating demo the other day of the Innous Statement via USB playing the same file vs a $20k server that perfers to use AES/EBU.So it was titan vs titan...

Great piece.as we mentioned we have a client with the Alexias and the T A 3100Hv and he loves the sound.So yes you can great results with one of these mosters. 
System synergies: Chaotic or predictable?
Kost you dont know a damm thing.Most reviewers dont use measurements to codify a review they use their ears.Its like taste. Go to the best steakhouse in town and order their 2 month old aged sirloin. Now go to your local Diner and order theír best... 
System synergies: Chaotic or predictable?
Yes Kost just like John Atkinson Jason Serinius Doug Schneider and all the Absolute Sound, Stereohile, and Soundstage writers guess you think you know more about system  design then all of us right?
