| Attractive Bookshelf - Under $3k Synergy between Vandy and Belles is superb. My Belles Aria integrated sounds excellent with Rogers LS3/5a’s as well. | |
| Better R2R DAC Recommendation? The Gustard x26 Pro is pticed about the same as the Pontus II and has received very favorable reviews. Not sure if it’s R to R though. | |
| Can recommend some non-fatigue SMALL bookshelf for near-field listening? Best nearfield I’ve heard is Rogers LS3/5a with Sugden or Belles integrateds. Sublime! | |
| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy I have to second the Belles monoblocs. Closest thing to the xa30.8 I’ve found. Either the Belles pre or a good tube pre. | |
| Highest value pre under 1.5k used? @bkeske Feel your pain as I waited much longer than promised for Belles Aria Monoblocs, but it was worth the wait, however painful :) I later bought a used Belles Aria pre to front the monoblocs, and couldn't be happier with the result. I look ... | |
| Are pass labs amps good match with vandersteen quattro speakers Can’t speak to this specific combo, but my xa30.8 pairs very nicely with some Treo CT’s. | |

| I2s DSD Got it. Thanks. | |

| I2s DSD But you need another product, such as a DDC yo convert the usb output to I2S , right? | |
| Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’) Who is the Nola dealer in the U.S.? These look interesting. | |
| Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’) @sbank I'll probably use the 30.8 during the colder months and then switch to Belles Aria separates when it gets hot here in the Southeast. My tube amps are all low power (<10wpc). Then there's always Class D. Which Tannoys would you recomme... | |
| Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’) @tomic601 Curious to hear about how you tamed your room. I'm currently using a Lumin U1 Mini into PS Audio DSJr. into Backert Rhumba pre-, into Pass XA30.8 into Vandersteen Treo CT's in the subjeft listening space. I use Qobuz through Roon and h... | |
| Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’) Thanks for the Tannoy/Cornwall comparison @sbrogdon , I appreciate it, as this is germane to the direction I've been considering. Not to say I won't research all the other speakers mentioned. | |
| I2s DSD I have a RPi with a Pi2aes HAT outputting I2S via Hdmi to the I2S input on my PS audio DSJr. I'm using the Moode OS to send Internet Radio and Qobuz sourced music to the DAC, but haven't tried any DSD. Sounds great, to me, better than usb aes o... |
