| 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. | |

I had the S-5 and the imaging was the best of any speaker I have ever owned Loved the wood finish , much more pleasing than my current Focals. Wish I had never sold t... | |
| Mark Levinson 39 or Wadia 830 for direct to amp? Wadia is still supported by an outfit in CA. I think if you call the number off the Wadia website you get those guys and not the Mcintosh labs bunch. | |
