Moving to France
I lived in Paris on Rue Breguet. That’s where I fried my American made Grundig. Until then, I thought all Grundig named products were made in the EU. Anyhow, I’d wait until I got to France and then I’d contact one of the audio stores. There are ma... 
Digital Linear Power Supply
Auxinput, I was looking at the Tera Dak. I know they make other high end components. 
Digital Linear Power Supply
Thanks fuzztone. 12 volts is what I need so either will do. What is the advantage of spending more on the Keces P3? 
Superb Bryston BDA-3.14
I just bought a BDP Pi today from my local dealer. I plan to run it to my Ayre QB 9 Twenty. Any surprises I should know about? 
Modified Mac Mini or CD Transport
Thanks all! I was expecting such responses but not certain. Even though the transport may be more costly, certainly seems worth it, so I will wait to purchase transport over modifying Mac Mini. 
Transport to replace my cd player
I’m looking at the Naim Uniti Core. 
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster?
macdude, the cd's I heard in 1983 were poor transfers from an analogue source. Today with MOFI, Analogue Productions, etc... there is time and care given to making cd's as good as they can be. The art of digital recording, i.e. DSD recording, is a... 
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster?
I’ll probably opt for the Uptone JS 2 amp linear power supply with their Mac Kit. Comes to around a thousand. In the long run, I’ll probably purchase a Naim Uniti Core and add the JS 2 to that. It’s precarious given whether I can find the Naim sec... 
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster?
mrcypruz, this is why I brought up the Bricasti M5. It sells for a little over two grand and with a possible discount even less. 
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster?
That’s what I was thinking but it sounds like the kit is well thought through. I’m guessing that cutting that red wire will negate any warranty from Lumin so buying second hand isn’t really a compromise. 
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster?
macdude, did you have to disable the Lumin power output and install the Uptone linear power supply? If yes, how was it done, how difficult was that? 
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster?
macdude, it’s still six grand for the U1. If you already own one then great but for me, spending that kind of money should come with the peace of mind that I’ll be content for the next ten years.From reading around, it seems that Bricasti owners h...

The Bricasti M5 has gotten good reviews! 
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster?
sfseay, are still using the Debussy? 
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster?
macdude, yes of course everything in the chain matters, that’s why my stereo sounds so good. However the problem with changing technologies is a serious consideration, especially for the companies building DAC’s and digital streamers. Ayre is a co...
