Tube Pre/ Class D Amp - Who has done it? I ran a Rogue RP-1 with Mullards and PS Audio S-300. Sounded great for the $s. Ended up getting some Quad speakers so moved the S300 down the line and picked up a Quad Altera stereo A/B to try and pick up some synergy. Bryston coming out with ... | |
What exactly is ROON? @tonyptony If I remember correctly in ROON. You can play and artist track and then it will continue to play "like" tracks. I think most of the interfaces have a "artist radio" functionality that achieves this? Also very easy to kick off Genre r... | |

Streamer, no DAC please? Funny, its always the same. OP gets ask to state budget and does. And people keep recommending solutions for thousands of dollars more. We just love to spend other peoples money. | |
Streamer, no DAC please? If you'r patient you can find Bryston BDP-3 for ~$1.5K. There is a Bryston BDP Pi on here for $800. Interface is spartan and they both are out of production but SQ is top notch. | |
