| Auralic Vega G2 or Denafrips Pontus II 12th + streamer? @soix I pulled the trigger on the Zen 3 and it should arrive later this week. I should be gearing up to pick up a DAC shortly as well, but I'm still on the fence a bit. Right now, I think I'm torn between either: Denafrips Pontus II 12th + Denaf... | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... @paradisecom good point. I didn't even think about A/V install companies to do it for some reason. I'll see how it plays out. I may be able to sacrifice use of the fireplace and just put the rack in front of it (im in Texas after all, how many tim... | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... My biggest concern with all this is having to get 22'+ long speaker cables and will be using a SET amp. I just...don't have room for the amp between the speakers :( | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... @ltmandella oh dear... | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... Seems like the best option will probably be having junction boxes installed on either side to feed the wire through the fireplace enclosure to the other side. Shouldn’t be too terribly expensive to have installed. That or hide in some trim someho... | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... @crn3371 no crawl space, unfortunately. @designsfx haha. no, I don't believe I will anytime soon 😛 | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... @kijanki Great point about future re-sale. Would be near impossible to sell varied length speaker cables. | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... @ghdprentice this is true. one of the amp options I am looking at are triode labs americano 45 mono blocks, which are pretty small form factor each and could possibly work placed near the speakers. A lot easier to hide interconnects vs speaker cab... | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... @designsfx That could be something to investigate. | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... @fuzztone it may be possible, though it creates some issue if I want to replace the cable with something else. It's wood flooring, so can't easily just tuck it underneath. Would basically end up being a semi-permanent solution. I'm in Texas, so ba... | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... @designsfx Unfortunately, don't have a photo at the moment since I don't live there quite yet (moving, so planning ahead). The fireplace is gas and built into the wall, so there is no hearth and I can't just put the amp in the fireplace. In a perf... | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... @carlsbad2 The floor is wood, unfortunately. I did think about getting one of those quarter-round wire hiding trim things to secure the wire in front of the fireplace at least, but I'm not sure I'll be able to find any big enough for the thicker c... | |
| Auralic Vega G2 or Denafrips Pontus II 12th + streamer? @soix I considered that, but the form factor of the mini and ability to just stack it on its PSU is very helpful for me. Don’t have a ton of space to fit this stuff in on an already pretty full rack, so saving half the horizontal shelf space is a ... | |
| Auralic Vega G2 or Denafrips Pontus II 12th + streamer? Thanks for the tips! I think I have decided on going the Zen Mini mk3 + PSU and Denafrips Pontus II combo. I don’t want to dump a ton of $ into streaming setup at this time since I primarily listen on vinyl, but I think this will be a very solid ... | |
| Auralic Vega G2 or Denafrips Pontus II 12th + streamer? If I had tubes downstream I’d go with the Pontus, but that’s just me. @soix Yeah, this is how I'm leaning myself. Likely going SET for my amplification, so it might be a little TOO much of a good thing going with a tube DAC as well. |
