| Rotel RA-1592 MK II or something else to deliver around 200W to B&W towers around $3000? Rogue Hydra (Tube/ClassD) over on USAudiomart. Pair that with a $1K pre. Could also be a plausible option. | |

| Esoteric N-03T streamer with Roon or ? I don’t see any reason why I would not be able to install the Esoteric Soundstream app on the iPad as well, in case I want to bypass Roon for some reason, and use it to stream straight to the N 03T.It may well be that someone who actually has done... | |
| Esoteric N-03T streamer with Roon or ? On second look it does appear that the N-03T does have digital out. So you could use it as your Roons endpoint and then go digital out to the Luxman via USB or Coax.So: Roon--> N-03T --> D-10X -->Amp | |
| Esoteric N-03T streamer with Roon or ? From just a quick look , it does not appear you can use the Esoteric in your config. Im sure I will be corrected if wrong . The esoteric appears to only have analog out (streamer/DAC). If you want to use the internal DAC in the Luxman with ROONs y... | |
| "Need" Roon, Bluesound Node, or or other streamer? +1 on dropping the MQA requirement. Do some critical comparison MQA vs standard 24/96. Opens up your options as well | |
| Tube Preamp - What to buy? Another plug for the RP-1. Get it new with warranty and then use the extra $$ to find a nice set of vintage tubes you like. As others have said the phono stage is worthy. I auditioned the Moon 110LP against the RP-1 internal and the Moon was not w... | |
| QUAD style dumper with tube class A front? Just for reference I got the QUAD Artera Stereo (Dumpster). Fronted it with a Rogue RP-1 with Mullards. I am enjoying the combo. | |

| Wadia 321 DAC VS. PS Audio Perfectwave II DAC. Any thoughts ? Mcintosh did shelve the Wadia line but offed support to 3rd party outfit in CA. di122 and 322 do DSD but not the 321. These DACs are thorough implementations of the ESS SABRE 9016S. "ESS Technology Sabre 9016S, an eight-channel DAC chip that a... |
