Pass Labs XA30.5 or ARC VS115 is better
Pass XA30.5 is measured to clip at 130wpc into 8 ohm and 200wpc into 4 ohm. One sweet sounding amp. But if you use ARC pre, ARC amp might be a better match in terms of tonal balance.

Doremisfasol, your system must be like my car stereo. LOL 
Focal 1038 be, CC 1008 Be, Profile 918 HELP
Agree with mechan. I ran my Electra with Anthem and Bryston and got ugly really quick. Then came Pass Labs class A amp and it's beautiful. 
Integrated amp for Focal micro utopia be
I'd recommend Pass INT30A or INT150 used but no HT by pass. 
Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95
Any break in time with mod by Modwright? Stock Oppo takes forever to break in (currently at 250 hr) and I seriously hope I don't have to go through that process again.

Hi Johnsonwu, it seems we live close to each other as well. I'm from San Jose. If you don't mind, here's my email khinz.htoo@gmail.Called and left a message for Nick today. The lady on the phone said he's busy. 
Review: JM Labs Diva Utopia Be Speaker
Hi Johnsonwu,None of my friend are into audio and think buying speakers like Electra is a nut job. I too have not been in this for long. Anyway, a quick google search gives me someone that I think I can ask for help, maybe with a service fee. It's...

Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan
Just passed 150 hours on 95 this morning. Jdub39's burn-in schedule has been spot on (a big kudos!). It sounds like a totally different player than out of the box and becomes very acceptable for me. Can't wait for the 300 and 600 marks. I will sti...

Oh boy, I just bought my 95 (maybe modwright mod soon). Roscoeiii, is there any estimate release date of 105? I just read on a blog, 105 highlights for me are - no fan, optical/coaxial/usb inputs. No mention of the dac. 
Just starting out
What is the difference between active and passive pre-amp? 
Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan
Passed 60 hr today and it's still edgy and non-cohesive. :( I see subtle changes here and there and soundstage isn't that restrictive anymore. But I start to worry it won't meet my expectation and have good synergy with the rest of my gears. I hav...

Picked up Oppo 95 over the weekend, mainly due to its ability to play Flac files and 32-bit dac. Also with tube mod from Modwright in mind, somewhere down the road. After 15 hr of running, I don't think it is even close to how it is described in r... 
Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan
Jdub39, thank you for the info.My unit currently has about 15 hr. Sounds slightly better than out of the box. Still far away from how it is described in Absolute Sound review and from this thread. Hopefully breaking in really does the trick (from ...
