| A secondary system to enjoy. Use of my secondary system is outside on my back deck in the afternoons. My primary one serves late evening. Will more often steer towards rock/blues during the afternoon hours than the evening ones (jazz/vocals then). More driven by time of day/a... | |
| Used DAC choice: Schiit modi 2u for $69 vs. Peachtree DAC-iT? I will not enter the fray regarding comparison between full res file vs. CD playback as I have not streamed the former.

| More Dynamic Speakers Than Vienna Acoustic Likely the 30wpc tube amp/Mozart Grand speaker combination is not the best pairing for dynamics. The SS amp will likely provide more. Bet your current pairing sounds lush with Jazz 3,4,5-somes and vocals however. | |

| Gain on preamplifier Thanks guys. I thought there was a transposition between descriptors and specs. Thanks for the conformation on my assumption regarding the 20 dB gain. I was thinking about calling Jolida, however looking for support here. I may not bother. | |
