| Dac Suggestions for Rega System I went with a Schiit Bifrost multibit. I comes at a great price and I am impressed with the sound reproduction. I have a Rega Apollo, too, but haven't connected it to the bifrost, yet. | |
| Music server Yeah johnziomas, I could have used my android, but I really need a larger screen as my eyes aren't what they used to be. I have to say that Lenovo monitor is pretty nice-great resolution and easy to use touchscreen. | |

| Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd Yes, I deal mostly with Gerrit. He is very communicative and will help you as best he can. Should they not be able to ship to you, I would love to travel to Argentina. The speakers would be my luggage! | |
