| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? Not because of better sound quality, but my CD collection includes content that Qobuz does not. Unless you have a high-quality CD/DVD drive, economical digital transporters like the MXN10 can easily outperform it. | |
| Will an Amp change improve my system ? Pass XA25 https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650168182-pass-labs-xa25-class-a-amplifier/. I still believe in class A, pure class A. This low wattage machine seems having no issue driving low efficiency 84-86 dB speakers like Quad ESL and Magnepan... | |
