| Integrated amp w/decent headphone out under $5k @soix Thanks for the input. The MZ2 was under consideration but concerned if 1w is sufficient, although I’m in a small room ad typically listen at 85db or less.

| Next step? Amp or Streamer or… @erik_squires Good question! I haven’t heard a lot of other systems recently given the Pandemic and really just getting back into two channel during that time after many years of only my modest home theater system and not having much time for dedi... | |
| Next step? Amp or Streamer or… @lalitk @ghdprentice Appreciate the specific and helpful streamer recommendations and thoughts on I2s. I will look to arrange in-home demos and report findings over the next few months | |
| Next step? Amp or Streamer or… Thanks all for the thoughtful responses - lots to think about. Will post specific feedback shortly | |
