ESOTERIC N-01 Replacement For My PS Audio BHK Preamp & Directstream Dac with Brige ll
I heard Chord Dave but never did a A/B with the 2. Chord Dave was excellent especially with your Pass 160.8 and Audio Research REF 10 or Ref 6 in the mix. I am shooting for a network streamer Dac combo to and to have less in the chain as possible.

Looking at picking up a Plinius SA103 as I hear that they are a contender to my list of amp collection. I had the SA250 Mk2 in my system and it was truly a great class A and A/B piece that can be toggled when you want to go from 1 to the other. Th...

@ranjithkpParasound A21 is a great 2 channel amp depending on your room size speaker and listening volume it might be just fine. Now if you want to drive your speakers at louder volume JC1 will be your better choice. The JC1 is in my opinion more ...

@ricred1Wireworld Platinum series 8 XLRs, now that is a wow factor. I remember auditioning those cables and it made me go wow that is a significant bump in clarity and separate.
