| Carver M 1.5t Yeah had an old PS Audio P200 running the garage system. Great amp but it buzzed loudly and finally died. Totally reluctant to dump $ on old gear when there is so much new stuff. | |
| Tube/Hybrid Tube Preamps Below $2000 I run an RP-1 and the S300 combo. I upgraded the RP with some Mullards and like the combination very well, RP-1 is solid sub $2K Pre. I also have a Rega P6 source with a MC cartridge. Manual for the RP-1 was a little confusing to me (electro dulla... | |
| Connecting a streamer via an Ethernet cable + on the Mesh suggestions. I been dealing with this for years as modem on one end of tri level and my main unit on the other with many drywall between. First just a modem/router, then dedicated router then extender finally to Mesh. The first mesh ... | |
| Sub-$1250 DAC w/ built-in Headphone Amp The Wadia Di322 is out there in the wild if your patient. Its a good DAC and has headphone capability; 2 coax, 2 optical, 1 USB inputs plus XLR. Does DSD. ESS Saber 9016S implementation. Very similar to the Mcintosh D100 I believe. Might find o... | |
| Radio Paradise to Stream MQA to Blue OS I buy their T-shirts and hoodies. | |
| Radio Paradise to Stream MQA to Blue OS Ain’t ruffling my feathers. I am perfectly satisfied with FLAC format and the resolutions they provide and have no plans to jump on the MQA wagon. although I would like a SACD player :). I am a huge fan of RP as well and will continue supporting t... | |
| How much difference in Sound quality can be expected from different streamers? FWIW...I A/B'd a Sonos Connect and a Wyred4Sound modified Sonos Connect and could tell the difference. Oh well..... | |

| Reccomend a good preamp for me. Rogue RP-7 I think has a decent phono stage and processor loop | |
| What do I need to spend coming from an all-vinyl setup? Check out used Bryston BDP 2 for a streamer. There is one on audiogon for ~$1k. Add a good DAC for another $1500K and you are in fat city. The BDP will stream Tidal or Qobuz through the Manic Moose interface and play via MPD. The Manic Moose inter... | |
| Move on from my Bryston BDA-1? Be interesting to see what a BDP-1 would sound like as the streamer using the MPD. You can pick those up cheap now. | |
| Looking for a DAC under 2k D100 is proly out there in the wild as well and is very similar I think, Same ESS Sabre implementation with digital volume control. https://www.avforums.com/reviews/mcintosh-d100-digital-preamp-review.590 | |

| CD Player or Transport That moon has a ES9010K2M ESS Sabre DAC. YOu might just read up the reviews on the Moon implementation if you can find... But it does support DSD. I would just get a good transport and give it a whirl. There is a CXC over on USAudiomart for like $... |
