| What does Hi-Fi Even Mean anymore? I was more down with Louis Dorio myself: "Hi-fi in 2021 really has to do with a philosophy rather than a set of stringent requirements. It’s instead a listener’s pursuit of the best playback quality, independent of the format (vinyl, digital) that... | |
| Post Photos I wish more folks would start virtual systems maybe now that we get notifications they will. Nice system Tom! | |

| New at Qobuz - no HiRes sound I am surprised the Node can't downsample. I have my Auralic Aries Mini, a very similar device, set to output Redbook only. | |

| SW1X Audio Design DAC II Absolute Top Tier Ref NOS DAC @charles1dad @wig My DAC only does Redbook and I could not be happier with the sound I'm getting. | |

You could possibly get him to part with the preamp separately.https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649698403-thor-audio-tube-monoblocks-with... |
