Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp
I have a Node 2i USB connected to a Schiit Audio Bifrost 2/64, Schiit Tyrs, and Magnepan 3.7i. I cross over at 80hz between the Magnepans and a Rhythmik F12SE. It sounds magical.   
Project (Pro-ject) X1B
The site and some of the reseller sites are inconsistently telling me they had the Ortofon Red, then the Sumiko, and now something that is a rebranded Ortofon red. Which is it for sure?  
Upgrade from Schiit Bifrost 2?
I eventually had to spam one of Jason’s live streams to get the attention I needed. Once in touch, the process worked. Since this time, I’ve replaced the CM III with a pair of Schitt Tyrs and the Freya +, modded with upgraded caps, and rolled tu... 
power amp ideas for less than $3000
Upvote for the Schitt Tyr monoblocks. I’m using them to drive Maggie 3.7is.

@musiclover1  Sure. What I notice is the reduced fatigue, even for recordings which are less than ideal (where I'm listening regularly). I attribute this to lower distortion in the mid to high frequency ranges and an improved crossover profile, a...

Hi Sid,   I read the same perspective at the link previously provided. I am not qualified to weigh in on the topic. What I'm hoping to learn is if there are qualified folks who would do this work and if so, who are they?

Icon audio LA5 TX pre amp
Wow, this is an old thread. I came here to ask the same thing! Anyone have feedback on the LA5 TX preamp? My current preamp is a Schiit Freya + with rolled tubes.   
Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass
My experience has been a combination of validation and learning. The Rythmik F12SE PEQ has been magically supportive of my Maggie 1.7s; however, my integrated Cronus Magnum III has been challenging, because my Maggies can't keep up and need to be ... 
Upgrade from Schiit Bifrost 2?
@bnolts - I wish. There's been no response from Schiit, yet. I'm guessing I'll give it to tomorrow and then will call Amex. Ho hum... :( 
Upgrade from Schiit Bifrost 2?
Thanks. They only asked for the order number and I provided it. Waiting for their reply.
