| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Van Alstine, Belles, DeHavilland or Modwright - they are all great so take your pick. | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips Just a follow up the Denafrips Pontus and the mhdt Orchid and Pagoda were some of the DACs that the Lotus 5 beat hands down. | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips Yes merosen that is the seller but I got an email from them a couple of weeks back and they had it on sale for $1499 | |

| Streamers with best apps? Well what can you make of all this? Basically all apps except possibly Roon are deficient in some way it seems. Bad as it is it seems the Tidal app is as good as it gets unless you want to pay for Roon. | |
| Streamers with best apps? Thanks classdstreamer I get the difference between Chromecast hardware and software so I will need to try and find out if Chromecast is on my CXN. However given that Chromecast is a Google product and Google and Apple don't get on will it work fro... | |
