New streamer
I have a Hifi Rose RS130, Lumin U2 and a Silent Angel Munich M1T.    the hifi rose RS130 is considered one of the best in the market currently but it doesn’t do DSD if that’s important to you. Also out of your budget. 5K.    Lumin U2 is almost j... 
Meitner MA3 vs Mola Mola Makua with DAC installed vs Cambridge Audio Edge NQ
@mgrif104 Thanks for pointing out the Auralic Vega and Simaudio. I'll have to research them and check them out.   
Meitner MA3 vs Mola Mola Makua with DAC installed vs Cambridge Audio Edge NQ
Thank you. I recently bought a Hifi Rose RS130 and realized it only does PCM. I was going to pull the trigger on the Meitner but realized that it makes less sense if my transport can't carry native DSD directly to the DAC. I will have to reconside... 
New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport
I just recently bought an RS130 after reading all the positive reviews. I already own a Lumin U2 and a Silent Angel Munich M1T. I did some A/B testing between the 3 and tested the RS130 with 3 DACs - an Audio Mirror Toubadour V, an Okto Research D... 
Pathos amplifiers comparison
I’m aware I’m posting on an old thread but I’m adding my comments in case someone new comes across this thread when searching Google or agon.    I have the pathos synapse and pathos Adrenalin monoblocks paired to Dali Epicon 8s and sometimes Foca... 
DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE
I purchased an Audio Mirror Toubadour V DAC built for me by Vladimir in Minnesota. I had the opportunity to put it up against a friend’s Chord Dave and also a Denafrips Pontus II and we both agreed the Toubadour had that tube sound that the Dave a... 
Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer?
I have a Lumin U2 and I just moved it into my main system. I am currently looking to get a Streamer/DAC combo instead to reduce the number of boxed separates in my office environment. I can say that the Lumin U2 was a great value add to my system... 
Meitner MA3 vs Mola Mola Makua with DAC installed vs Cambridge Audio Edge NQ
@mclinnguy I moved my Lumin U2 streamer and Audio Mirror Toubadour V DAC to my home main system and now I'm bereft of music at work. I feel my productivity isn't as good as it should be without the music. I think I have a Schiit Modi somewhere in ... 
Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ?
I have Hybrid InPol - pathos synapse pre and pathos Adrenalin monoblocks. I found my end game reference and I suppose it’s technically more SS than tube.   
Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds
The gold note dealer - Rutherford audio - is having a close out sale on their entire line. The PA1175 MK2 sounds good as well as the IS-1000 integrated. Don’t pay the listed price, haggle it down.   
Recommend me a DAC under 3k
I’m revising my previous recommendation. Having owned a Weiss 204 and then subsequently owning an Audio Mirror Toubadour, I have to say to my ears the Audio Mirror Toubadour was a much better sounding DAC. USAM has some pre-owned models within you... 
Recommend me a DAC under 3k
Weiss 204 or 205.    A bit over your price range but worth a listen.   
Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit.
Townshend Allegri+ I got one new directly from Townshend for cheaper than advertised.    I concur with all the reviews already written about this preamp.    https://the-ear.net/review-hardware/townshend-allegri-passive-preamplifier/   https://w...
