| 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. | |
| CD player as a transport posted today. Made specifically as a transport only. I bet hit dont last long.https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649751010-cambridge-audio-cxc-v1-cd-transport/ | |
| Recommendation for amp This is a tidy package as well if you are ok with class D. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649754296-ps-audio-stellar-strata-integrated-amplifier/ | |
| Recommendation for amp + on the Hegel. I audition the Rost and it was a really nice piece.https://listenup.com/hegel-h90.html | |
| any suggestions on what to replace Bluesound Node 2i with You might also explore Small Green Computer & Roon solution. You could get a SGC Sonic Transport i5, Optical Rendu or Microrendu and a Roon license for ~$3K. | |

| 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... | |
| Streaming Transport without DAC- few choices Mac mini may sound purdy good. But dealing with all the patches/security upgrades is a headache. Go for a dedicated streamer. +1 on the Raspberry Pi. I found a Bryston BDP Pi used for $500 (basically a Raspberry Pi). Manic Moose interface is spart... | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. Wadia di122 over on Ebay for <$1K. It's a good implementation of Sabre ES9016S. Mcintosh shelved the line but support is available via 3rd party. | |
| Rogue Audio Stereo 100, Atlas Magnum III anybody running them? Sound signatures? No phono stage on the Freya + Little bit of "PRE" digression:RP series has purdy well regarded phono stage. I have the RP-1 (Mullards) and compared the phono stage against a Moon 110LP v2 and did not think the Moon warranted the spend. my TT is P6... | |
| Rogue Audio Stereo 100, Atlas Magnum III anybody running them? Sound signatures? Does the Freya have a phono stage? |
