Well the wishful budget got thrown in the trash. We're going to to try to stick to $5-7k.lol Thats not trying to find connections in that figure either lol Leaning towards Cambridge CVX V2 for Streamer/DAC/Pre Amp. This can get broken up into 3 p...

@ditusa I was looking at the Schiit Amps and components. I like the simplistic nature and beint pretty much 100% US made. The TYR looks great, though We're $3200 for a pair of em...Can get more at a similar price point. Open Box NAD MR33 for $600 ...

@tomcarr Yikes! 900W @ 4Ω might be excessive lol

Starting to think more on the NAD M33, is it overkill? Can Optical or HDMI ARC into that from the TV and call it a day...

@sunshdw "I’d buy something with as much power that you can afford (the Hegal is a good option) that has a optical input and those Wilsons will thank you for it." I somewhat thought the same thing, just don’t know what to trust. A 10 Year old Sha...

@sunshdw You're spot on with some of my hurdles. I can buy a CLEAN used Linn, and basically use it to combine the HDMI Sources, and either go Analog out using the DAC of the Linn, or go out digital optical, and use different DAC or a seperate or p...

@thecarpathian  Depends on the day. 😜 @ghdprentice ​​​​​​ Thank you for the well written and thought out post. I agree this will end up being a longer term project. In the short term I'm not afraid to spend some today. I'm making I think a grea...
