| DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2? Purdy sure thats a ESS Sabre chip and you have to imagine a NOT slouchy implementation. | |
| dCS Mosaic Vs Roon Nucleus Plus - Titan If you put all the right components in the chain ROON can still match the SQ. | |
| Bluesound mode not really cutting it You can get a Bryston BDP-3 for about $1.5K used. They stopped making them but will continue support. Manic Moose interface is antiquated vs the new stuff with apps. Only supports Qobuz and tidal but SQ is not notch for the spend. | |

| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? @kevemaher Last year I was considering the same amp you have. I talked directly to Bryston about my room and they said the 2.5 should have plenty of power. Your room is slightly smaller than mine. Based on that and your updated comments about impr... | |
| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? Room Dimensions? | |
| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? I agree that the pre may be the issue. You might consider the new Bryston BR20 and collapse the BDP-3,BDA and pre all into one box. The sale of those components cover a good portion of the BR | |
