| Streaming virgin @mrklasYes that Amp should have a ESS9018K2M according to the user manual. That is why I was recommending going digital in.Then as a subsequent step you could fire up a trial subscription of Tidal or Qobuz and try hi rez to see if its worth th... | |
| Streaming virgin That integrated has an 1/8 inch mini jack input on the front of it. Have you tried using that with the kindle? you mentioned you were using earphones. Of course this will be using the crappy DAC in the kindle. | |
| Streaming virgin @dagery Does the kindle have digital out? If it does you could go digital out to the USB B input on your integrated amp. If not, you could purchase an Apple iPad (or any pad that has digital out ) and use the Spotify app and go digital out from th... | |
| Krell K-300i (with its optional DAC) vs. McIntosh MA7200 (with DA1) vs. ? (including DAC) I auditioned the RÖST for a few days. I liked it very much, smooth and warm but powerful for small integrated. If I can ever scrape together the cash I might go for one of their power amps. Another suggestion would be to try and get in front of... | |
| Is The FM tuner obsolete? Nice tuners a really cool but commercial radio not so much. I will go with streaming. | |

| Looking for high end individual streamer & individual dac to work in tandem. What is the network setup? Hard wired to streamer? Will you be playing files or just streaming a service? Which service? | |
| Setting up a streamer for a frien If it truly is a K-07 then it has optical,coax and usb digital inputs and an AKM DAC. I can only imagine that the AKM implementation is worthy. Drop the $1.5K (implied budget) on the Bryston BD-2 and it should sound purdy dang good given the netwo... | |
| Setting up a streamer for a frien Yes, as others have ask. What model is the CD player? | |
| Setting up a streamer for a frien Bryston BDP-2 on here for $1.5 K. That be better SQ than the Node2. Could work if CD player has SPDIF input. Manic Moose interface is spartan but works with Qobuz and Tidal and various radio stations that stream Redbook quality. | |
| How important is the pre-amp? I have a DAC and amp with balanced capability and the DAC has volume control. My tube pre only has single ended connections. Sometimes I run the DAC strait to the AMP via balanced. I always recognize the music a little more analytical with the ba... | |
| Stereo Preamp suggestion +1 on the RP-1. I know mine has HT bypass but I have never used it. But I did have a sub set up with it for awhile. I have mine fronting a solid state class a/b amp and like the tube/SS combination. Then you can have fun tube rolling. You ... | |
| You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which? As a store owner what is my motivation? Make as much money as possible or cater to a small segment of anal audiophiles with great expectations and a small wallet? Haha exactly. +1 Bose and Sony | |
| Tube integrated and DAC for office system Reasonably active tube forum over on audiocircle site, might find some insight over there.https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?board=144.0 | |
| Tube integrated and DAC for office system Rogue Sphinx v3 over on Usaudionmart for $1000 and various DACS (Denafrips, Topping ,Shiit etc) for ~$500. Cronus Magnum on here for $1200. I only have the Rogue RP-1 pre but its been a good piece and then company is really good to deal with. I ... |
