Home theater bypass - pass through question
@reubent I didn't know that was possible and that's pretty awesome. However, I actually have a Lyngdorf 2170 integrated that has HT bypass right now. Sort of.I bought it to replace my separates that didn't have HT bypass last month. I thought I wa... 
Home theater bypass - pass through question
@millercarbon Are you suggesting I replace my center and surrounds with subs? FWIW I already have 4 subs.

@reubent  Thank you so much for the help. Shoot me a PM and I'd be happy to send you my favorite ale or nipper or whisky :-) 
Home theater bypass - pass through question
@reubent Are you describing where you used your 2 channel amp for the front end of your 2 channel listening AND the front end of your HT TV listening experience?To clarify My intention is to keep my Denon HT receiver and get a preamp or integrated... 
Help me choose an integrated tube amp? OR separates
I think the only remote option with Deware is their Preamp? https://www.decware.com/newsite/ZTPRE.html 
Lyngdorf - New System
FWIW I just bought one and am returning to an SET. It's a pretty amazing amp combo but not what I was looking for for my set up. This is the one I bought and I'll be listing it for $2300 (what I paid) soon, minus the microrendu.  https://www.audi... 
Help me choose an integrated tube amp? OR separates
@drrsutliff  So the VAC would need to be turned on while I was watching TV and the VAC would be powering my front R&L of my 7.2 HT Denon receiver? I'm still a bit confused by the HT pass thru some pre's offer. I couple of the tube pre manufact... 
Tempted to buy a Macintosh
I don't know anything about the Macs, just wanted to give you another option to look at in the same vein. The Vincent K35 doesn't have the meters but is still reminiscent to me. The reviews were good until they tried to reproduce bass for loud roc... 
share 2 CH speakers with HT set up or use separate speakers for front end of a 7.2 HT?
Thank you so much everyone.  I'm really looking forward to simplifying and bettering my audio chain.I sort of jumped the gun on the Lyngdorf info. I actually just got it today, about 2 hours ago. So it’s still not even the chain, but it’s the firs... 
Ready to move onto next stage of streaming
Hey UberwaltzWe're sort of in the same boat. My 2170 should be here by the end of the week and it's coming with a MicroRendu to play with, which I have no experience with at all. My only streaming so far has been with my Node2i, which gets used al... 
Waht is the best streamer for the money under $2500 (no DAC or storage required).
Check out the Zen MK3 maybe. I'm leaning that way currently. http://www.innuos.com/en/catalog/go/zenmini-mk3-1tb-lpsu

@big_greg.    Can the 505 be used as a stand alone streamer hooked up to an amp and bypass it's dac?  
MHDT dac...and which streamer/server?
@ sptwriter I get easily coonfused by all this, but it appears that the Innuuos handles Tidal as well. https://www.innuos.com/en/catalog/go/zenmini-mk3-1tb-hdd The poor inteface with Android would be a rough one for me too. 
Can we talk streamers based on UI rather then SQ?
@erik_squires I had no idea that's how that worked. I've yet to get a single "ping" on this thread. I was trying to figure out how to turn notifications on just gave up. "I want to reiterate that the cool part of Roon is that I don't really experi... 
Can we talk streamers based on UI rather then SQ?
@mgrif104 " I was assuming that you’d prefer to find a solution for $150/year rather than pay $2k+ for a new solution.  Since you’re self described as being cheap - and having problems with keeping connected to your library "Damn fine point you m...
