| Amp — Leave on or turn off Both my Hegel H390 and my PS Audio gear all stay in standby mode until I wake them up. Both take less than an hour to sound great. | |
| What next? If you can expand your price range a bit, an open box Bluesound Node N130 and a new or used Denifrips Aries 2 will make a huge improvement. You might also think about getting rid of Apple Music and going with Qobuz, Amazon Music HD or Tidal. All ... | |
| One DAC to Rule it All That’s is an interesting question. the double digital part, I’m guessing could go either way, but I have found for the most part, the simpler the system, the fewer cables, the fewer power supplies the better the sound. In the end, your ears wil... | |
