| From separate streamer and DAC to al-in-one suggestion All good either way you decide to go. I do have HDMI on the Linn so I have my big screen hooked up to it. So when I play a You Tube or Blu-ray concert it comes through my Linn. Tough choice, but a great list. Enjoy. | |
| From separate streamer and DAC to al-in-one suggestion I went the same route and ended up with a Linn Akurate DSM and have no need to look any further. Is future proof and sounds wonderful. Pricey though but it’s the end game for me. | |
| Need some suggestions for a desktop amp. I purchased the sprout used. It arrived DOA. So I had to send it to PS Audio for a fix. It is under warranty and the seller paid for shipping to PS. I bought some Quad powered 9L speakers to give the powered speaker thing a try. They arrived, supp... | |
| Need some suggestions for a desktop amp. I pulled a bonehead move and noticed that I don’t think I can connect my REL sub to the active Quad speakers. I had already confirmed the purchase and sent the money so they’re mine. I have a few of these stories where I pulled the premature trig... | |
| Need some suggestions for a desktop amp. I thank everyone for the suggestions. I went a little different direction. I just purchased some used Quad 9L active speakers to plug into my computer so no amp needed. It will clear up the needed space and save some money in the long run. Althou... | |
| Need some suggestions for a desktop amp. Thank you. I have looked at the sprout. I have a negative bias towards the Sprout and I have no reason for it. For some reason I just can’t get my head around buying the little guy. | |
| Need some suggestions for a desktop amp. Thanks. I’ve looked at all the options suggested, a lot of good ones. I’ve read reviews on all of them. One reviewer says all the good things and then Audio Science Review guy says it measures horribly. I know it’s not in the measurements it’s in ... | |
| Need some suggestions for a desktop amp. All good suggestions, and thank you for them. They are all about the same size as the Naim is and thus my issue of crowding me out of my work space. I’m thinking I can buy some longer speaker cables and possibly move the amp to a corner still wi... | |
| Need some suggestions for a desktop amp. I had a thought for a different option. I have a fully restored Marantz 8B amp in my closet that I could use if I could find a table to fit over the REL sub so I could place it on over the sub on a table. Then find a smallish Pre/Dac to fit under ... | |
| Need some suggestions for a desktop amp. My budget is < $2K give or take. yyz - I’m sure the Benchmark is a great amplifier. It’s a little over my budget. Also it’s a balanced only amp so I would have to buy their dac and I’m up to almost $4k. Mike - thank you so much for the heads ... | |
| Need some suggestions for a desktop amp. Thank you for your response. I do have a dac ready for use if needed. Not an expensive one but I think it sounds pretty good. I have a REL sub off to the side of the desk and not much room underneath otherwise. How do you change the volume or mu... | |
| Advise for new speakers for my basement exercise room My workout room speakers are KLH Model 6’s I bought off Craigslist for $75. They sound wonderful paired with my Fisher 800C tube receiver. However as others have said, you need to treat the room to tame it down and stop all the reflections before ... | |
| The stereo sounds fine, music is great, but Jeff Bezos came back to earth. Send Bezos back with Zuckerberg this time on a one way trip. Throw in Jack Dempsey and this world would be a better place.IMO. | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. Audio Note E Series.I always use mine at fairly low volumes with a 40 watt tube amp and sound extremely full, musical and engaging. 98db efficiency. | |
| Integrated Amp upgrade path On the streamer front, I’ve been through a bunch, most of which are mentioned above and all have some very good sound and convenience pluses and I’m not about to bash any of them.I have finally settled on the Linn Akurate DSM with Roon and have be... |
