Sopra 2 Amp Recommendation
@laaudionut Im super interested to hear why you didn’t like the Mac. I was looking at a used Mac 611 but now I’m second guessing! I’m hoping I can audition them.

Keep the suggestions coming! I’m looking into all of these!

The LS50’s are actually near the top of the list. Just need to see if they are too big. The LSX might be better sized but I want something passive. Paying for all the “smarts” seems dumb.

Any Comments RE: Soundiiz imports your playlists and favorites easily from TIDAL to Qobuz
Yes I have used it. It is a bit hit or miss on getting songs matched. I’d say it works on ~50% of the songs in a given playlist. Then maybe 40% “don’t exist in the destination” and another 10% get matched to a weird karaoke version or cover band. ...
