| Octave V70SE vs Qualiton X200 For Posterity:I sat in on an Octave demo at the RMAF. The Octave amp (can't remember which one) was the most impressive piece of gear I saw at the show. The control of the Dynaudio speakers they had matched up with was fabulous. | |

| Bluesound Node vs Wyred4sound moded Port Cool, I got an old W4S-ZP90 that is still in service as a Roon endpoint. The stream goes through DSP whiplash: I am streaming Qobuz FLAC 88/24 and Roon steps it down to 44/16 for Sonos then the W4S mod takes it back up to 96 :). Still sounds purd... | |
| Streaming virgin @dagery Correct. All you need is a streamer digitally connected to the amp. As suggested a Bluesound Node is what many people start with and an end for some. If you want to get something that is comparable in quality with your current gear you mig... | |
