The Music Room is Hiring - Audio Repair Tech Wanted
@b_limo Well said. The lifestyle in Colorado is amazing. Before we moved to the Aspen area (prior to that, uh hum, from California and before that, uh hum, Texas) we didn’t realize how great it would be. Gotta get fit to handle the altitude, drink...

@n80Excellent post and some of these responses do in fact prove your point. Never is the law of diminishing returns more applicable than in hifi. There are some who may even, deep down, resent the fact that you CAN achieve really nice sound for ve... 
Topping D50 vs the "Big Boys"
@blues535i @grannyring was merely pointing out the fact that some past Topping products received some less than stellar reviews by some who purchased and likely returned their units. There are indeed some excellent reviews as well and with the Ama... 
Topping D50 vs the "Big Boys"
@d2girls”what does sound have to do with anything, i was talking about the build quality”This comment might be construed by some as a bit of a disconnect. I’m not trying to be inconsiderate but how can you possibly make a determination on build qu... 
Topping D50 vs the "Big Boys"
@d2girlsHave you heard a Totaldac or a DCS Bartok? How do they sound to your ears? Otherwise, you shouldn't denigrate or recommend a component. 
Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO
@d2girls"it was a thing". Do you have direct knowledge or are you repeating something you think you heard from someone who may or may not had their facts straight? It matters.@clearthinkYou are being conspicuously quiet when, in fact, you owe an a... 
Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO
@viridian I think @fmalitz Frank's post is highly appropriate given the malicious nature of clearthink's post. If clearthink has an attorney, his or her advice would be to make an unconditional apology and take responsibility for saying something ...

@traveldonkeyCongrats and continued best wishes.

@andy2Excellent post...now duck! LOL 
New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC
@keeferdog"Check out Innous music servers. I’ve heard the 2.5k Zenith. It’s great. Can only imagine the high end Statement sounds like. Great build and sound quality from Poland."Just to clarify, I believe you are referring to the Innuos Zen, not ... 
Getting back in the game
You are overthinking it. You cant connect a streamer to the naim cd3, it has no digital inputs. My advice, which is worth even less than you are paying for it, would be to buy a streamer/dac that can grow with you. Almost any quality brand will ge... 
System Upgrade
MIT and biamping Harbeths? Wonders never cease but I still appreciate Audiogon! 
Getting back in the game
Also, I believe the preamp only accepts din connections so you may want to purchase some rca-din connectors. This will be required if you want to connect any rcs output devices to the naim preamps.  
Getting back in the game
@asmithkashSeveral things are at play here. The B&W speakers are not the easiest to drive but I will assume you are happy with the sound you are getting. The Naim gear you bought is classic and has some really cool attributes you wouldnt want ... 
Looking for a good full range floor stander
An almost 10,000 cubic foot room and people are recommending speakers with 5 inch woofers for a 600 wpc amplifier? I know everyone means well and it depends entirely on the desires of the OP but if I had a room like that I would deeply appreciate ...
