| Reasonably Priced Bookshelf Speakers If your receiver/processor has bass management, you can set the crossover for the front speakers to say 80hz (or set to "small") so they are cutoff well above the tuned frequency of any port, front or rear. That will help you with the close wall p... | |
| Help needed finding an integrated amp which has a streamer and DAC included. NAD M33 uses BluOS so should be Roon compatible, but it's $1k over his budget | |
| Help needed finding an integrated amp which has a streamer and DAC included. @hilde45 pretty sure the Strata doesn't support Roon | |

Arcam SA30Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 (used it's maybe a hair above your budget)Lyngdorf TDAI-1120 (maybe low on power depending on your needs)NAD M10 (also possibly low on power)And all of the above have the added benefit of powerful room correctionThere ... | |
| Speaker upgrade question. That's a healthy DAC/streamer budget. Maybe checkout Auralic products. There are retailers that sell them and have return policies. | |
| Speaker upgrade question. I'll let others answer the speaker question but I can't imagine a single reason why you would need to change that amp. It's a high current, 250wpc amplifier that is built like a tank and sounds great. In your shoes I would worry about the streamer... | |
| Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more @cydrone I see reading comprehension is your strong suit | |
| Uptone Audio EtherREGEN review @gdnrbob I was just sharing that tidbit of info but the user manual does indicate it's normal to run very hot. It's just potentially a placement issue for some folks. Mine is in a closed cabinet but it has quite a bit of open space above and to th... | |
| Uptone Audio EtherREGEN review @djones51 no, the point is that it won't be apparent unless you are already familiar with the baseline sound. This IMO is the basis for all the pitchfork carrying anti cable people saying no one can pass an A/B test because of course you can't tel... | |
| What makes a DAC so expensive? There's an excellent video on YouTube that was JUST released covering this topic. Go to YouTube and look up Hans Beekhuyzen and watch his latest video "What defines the quality of a DAC." | |
| Who puts their speakers right up against the back wall and why? @boomerbillone Well said! When I look at pictures of people's HIGH END systems online, on Instagram, etc, 95% of them have speakers pushed up against walls, up in corners, sunk back in nooks on the wall, very close together... all kinds of stuff. ... | |
| Buchardt S400 My living room is larger than yours and they do sound large enough to fill it well, but I also run a subwoofer with them and cross them over at 80Hz. No idea about your amp. Keep in mind they are 4ohm speakers. I don't have any trouble pushing the... | |
| Roon vs the world (streaming software) @jorgjean I don’t have any insider info on anything but Amazon music “HD” came out and suddenly I see a non stop stream of special offers for Tidal... 5 months for $5, 4 months for $4 (that’s total, not per month, and includes the hifi tier), disc... | |
| Roon vs the world (streaming software) Besides the great user interface, the "killer app" of Roon in my opinion is that it lets you put your entire library together regardless of source. My ripped CDs and Tidal albums are all just there together instead of having to go into just Tidal ... | |
| Amp for Martin Logan Motion 60XT @chobes That Purifi is a module, not a complete amplifier so unless you are planning to order it and build your own amp, your only Purifi option on the market at this point is the new NAD M33 (if it's even available yet). As far as Class D, perhap... |
