| 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 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 ... | |

| 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. | |
| Best Way to Upgrade Digital Bryston BDP series might be an option they will sound better than Blu Node. There is a BDP Pi over on Usaudiomart for $550. BDP-2 can be found for around $1.5K This could be used to stream a service like Qobuz and the Manic Moose interface can be ... | |
| What's a real upgrade from LuminT2 If your happy with Modwright go whole hog with Elyse. http://6moons.com/audioreviews2/modwright/1.html. | |
| What's a real upgrade from LuminT2 Yep , first step I would take is audition external DAC. Mcintosh D100 over on ebay for $1.2k. Be a cheap way to try something out that you could easily sell. Wadia 321 over on Usaudiomart which is basically the same thing. | |
| HiRes lossless FLAC Radio streams @pjb255livecom To what purpose would pushing a lossless program thru a compressed medium like Bluetooth gain? Phooey. If their app runs on an iPad should be able to go digital out to a DAC | |
