| Choosing the right SUT for my setup 6 moons primer https://6moons.com/audioreviews/stepup/primer.html think about future changes now: separate control of gain and impedance is most flexible, to leave your cables alone: pass for MM bypass is a nice feature, leave SUT in-line byp... | |

| Awaiting a 1st impression There are a lot of speakers that need more than most, this seems to be a compact solution for them, I hope it sounds great as expected. IF I bought difficult speakers (I never will), I would prefer a separate tube preamp, probably vintage overhau... | |

| Can a DAC sort out a flat\cold amp? there's something wrong, but truly should not be that amp unless it is defective. to isolate the amp: skip the pc, make a simple direct path: a cd player directly to the yamaha to your speakers. a few familiar cds. great? lousy? then the amp is... | |
| Use or sell/replace Oppo UDP-203? Prior to the xa5400ES, I researched, went thru 9 models, found two very nice sounding players, quite in-expensive, that would give you your existing CDs back. Onkyo Integra CDC-3.4 II, CD's only, (serial number with M is Mark II) new one with wa... | |
