| preamp and dac volume I got vinyl source as well. The DAC is a Wadia 321 , Made by Mcintosh group at the time and very similar to the D100. | |
| preamp and dac volume I have done that before. As a matter of fact I can go balanced in that config. I got the Pre in there cause it's got a decent phono stage and Mullard Tubes. I give it a try over next couple days and get back here. | |
| Amp Upgrade time, $6000 budget, used or new. These mono blocks are right at $6K and I am sure they will take the Mac in on trade. In home audition for a couple weeks I believe. They gave me good money for an old Rotel amp when I bought my Steller 300. Interesting custom ICe Edge/ Tube hybri... | |
| Colapse to Hegel Yeah in the end I decided to keep my current setup. Save my coin for a dedicated amp. | |
| Looking for a tube Preamp new or used for under $2000... I have a Rogue RP-1 and likes it. Stock tubes crapped out after a few years but I put in some Mullards that sound nice. The guys at Rogue are good as well, always answer the phone and up for a chat. Phono stage is well regarded. Only knock is ... | |

| Worth it to add streamer to Hegel H390 I dont have any experience with it but the the Simaudio Moon 280D is a nice looking unit. Has all the farkle covered. DSD,PCM,Tidal,Qobuz,MQA, and Roon Ready. Might do some investigation on its merits. Its comes in at about $3.5K, leaves a coupl... | |
| Sonos and Qobuz high rez Ok obviously I did a lousy job of making my question clear. After some additional testing it does appear that Qobuz do have the intelligence to do the bit depth and Sample conversion to play on Sonos. Kudos to those guys. | |
| Inexpensive streamer options for Amazon HD? +1 on the Roon Raspberry Pi. | |
| Best DAC For My Setup Under $10k PS Audio Direct Stream is ~$6K,FPGA design and in -home audition. Combine that with their Stellar Power re generator for ~$2k and you are still under $10K. Might be worth considering. They proly take the Chord in on trade as well. | |
| Wyred4Sound Modified Sonos I have had a w4s Sonos (clocked @96) for years. It was worth it then. But I mean now you can get a Bluesound for $600. So that might be a better way to go. But if you are committed to the Sonos ecosystem then I think its a good option. w4s mods th... | |
| DAC upgrade? ++ on recommendations to save coins and spend more on a good DAC. Spend time reviewing DACS and understanding the technology. I remember demoing a cheaper DAC thinking it would improved the sound of my Sonos connect. It didn't , so I waited an... | |
| Linking TV audio into Sonos system? The Sonos Connect has left right analog inputs. If your TV has analog output you might be able to run those into the Connect and then select "line in" on the Sonos interface as a source. Just a guess. | |
| Stand Deliver I guess I am not surprised at Clapton given his past comments about society. | |
| Wadi a315 Thanks Tim. |
