How hot does the Ayre EX-8 2.0 Integrated Amplifier get?
@hgeifman any update on the Ayre sound wise?  
Gold Note IS - 1000 integrated amp
Instead of starting another thread thought I’d bump this one with same thoughts. Any new experiences with the IS-1000? @transience you still enjoying yours or move to something else?  
Digital All in ones, i.e. Naim Uniti Nova
@badgerdms how would you describe the Naim Atom vs the Gold Note IS-1000 sound wise. Was considering the Nova as title states, but the Gold Note looks like a direct competitor to the Nova.  I have an Atom now that I'm trying out, enjoying the nai... 
Meitner MA3 amp/integrated suggestions
Hey @doni thanks for the suggestion. Doing some research now and like the small form factor for a class A product. I was also ready to pull the trigger on a Belles SA100 that has been listed for over a month but of course as soon as I respond it’s...

@ghasley hi Geoff! Yes the Sayes 421a is a keeper. I also foolishly sold a dual mono 46 SET he built for me. Thanks for the suggestions. I had a LFD years ago and do remember it was super close to tubes and may need to relook at it. Similarly was ...

@blisshifi thanks for the response. Oh man. My virtual system is 20yrs old. Needs updating 😂 yes I’m using Daedalus 97db speakers in a 13.5’x12.5’ room. So somewhat near field intimate setup. Dedicated room. Yeah I’m not looking to meet or exceed...

Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality
Got my eno on Friday.. just basic listening so far and it is at least >= the ER, but the bonus no matter what is it's passive, no power and doesn't get hot like the ER where you can make toast on it.  BTW - I open everything I buy.. here is th... 
192 khz/24 bit Albums on Qobuz
@rdk777 the only way you get a 16/44 CD quality stream will “show” playing as 24/192 is because you are upsampling it in Lumin app.    I was responding to the comment that you “can only show/play 24/192 albums in qobuz” but right. Whatever the q... 
192 khz/24 bit Albums on Qobuz
@liam2 @rdk777 fyi. That setting in Qobuz is for choosing the “up to” quality on the network (mobile vs wifi). It won’t play everything or only play 24/192. It will allow those files to be played if they are available.

Hey @grannyring great post! And timely as I’m venturing down this path. I just bought the “eno Streaming System” to replace my etherRegen. It hasn’t even arrived and now you make me want to replace it with the muon 😂 have you or anyone cracked op... 
Digital All in ones, i.e. Naim Uniti Nova
Thanks for the great feedback.  @auroravengeance some units in there I never heard of I can go research @verdantaudio never heard of the AVM either but looks like a nice unit.  @badgerdms Naim Uniti Atom may be the way to go.... Especially now ... 
Pro-Ject CD Box DS2T vs Audiolab 6000CDT
Did I mention this thing is TINY  
Pro-Ject CD Box DS2T vs Audiolab 6000CDT
I picked up a DS2T and first impressions are very positive. Sounds better than my older cd player, rotel rcd-1570 (wasn’t dedicated transport). Using a Kimber D60 cable.    still curious if an LPS helps on this guy. It’s 9v 2a  
Upgrade from Kimber D60 Digital Coax cable
thanks for the responses.    @rodman99999 interestingly I had the Orchid AES but then sold the player I had that used aes so I sold that cable.    @jayctoy ive seen that name floating around a lot during my searches. Will take a look further
