| Looking for an Amp Replacement +1 on the Madusa. Big fan of Hybrids | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k If I was in that budget range I would look certainly audition the Dynaudio Confidence series. | |
| Inexpensive streaming amplifier I also like the idea of the PSA Sprout. Space conscious little Class D to power the speakers and the TV and Blue Tooth Apple music with the interface she is already accustomed to. Or really go hog wild and do A Wadia 151 DAC/AMP with a Blue ... | |
| Inexpensive streaming amplifier @grislybutter I guess that could calibrate the budget. I know I went down to Sunday Vinyl in Denver the other day and sat in front of a $200K Mcintosh Sonus Faber rig and dinner for 2 was only ~$200. Maybe I should get a cheaper amp :) for my h... | |
| Will I benefit from upgrading REL subwoofer pair I have a single T9x and I plugged both of my Focal 926 ports. | |
| Inexpensive streaming amplifier @kb54 Maybe a budget figure would help focus the response. | |
| Inexpensive streaming amplifier I will be the odd man out. Old Sonos S1 connect amps can be had for around $100 +. The S1 app should still be available. If TV does not have analog out throw in a Schiit Modi for $129 and you can do optical off the TV. Way cheaper than a Power... | |
| Bluesound Node X is out The old ones Roon ready? Should make a good Roon endpoint. I know the old Sonos ZP 90s work good for secondary systems (garage, ht....) | |
| Made the Move and Not looking back! My perspective is that Roon’s strong point is information about the music you are listening to... The other strong point is using various endpoints with multiple systems. (Sonore, Bryston, BS, Moon even the old and lowly Sonos ZP 90s can be use... | |
| Focal 926 -----> Dynaudio Special 40 or..... @nonoise Thats a good looking speaker. But a little out of my price range even used. But will keep and eye out. I put the little evokes back into the mix. Certainly can't fill the room like the Focals but really enjoyable to listen to none... | |
| Integrated suggestions +1 on the Octave. Never owned one but I spent some time and their room at the RMAF with Dynaudio speakers and it was impressive. A modest display that sound everything but modest. If you are open minded you might check out the Rogue Audio Phar... | |
| Bryston BDA-1 d/a mystery @mahler123 Manic Moose frustration? | |
| Any comments about using ROON while you are OFF LINE ?? It might work if the Core and the app were running on the same device and hard wired to the endpoint. | |
| Streamer upgrade - best path forward For separates:one solution you could do the Moon Mind2 streamer for ~$2.4K. Then spend the remaining on a schiit modius and you're in under budget. Then upgrade the DAC when funds allow. Mind2's hard to find used at this point. | |
| alternatives to Lumin for preamp funcitonality ? If you can find a Wadia 321 they employ the Sabre chip volume control. You can pick those up for ~$1k if you can find them. But I agree with previous post. My streaming always sounds a bit better going through my Rogue preamp. You can find Rogue... |
