Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
All, I understand a bluseound node or an Ifi Stream is what you hook up to Gan 1 to stream, output coax and control volume.   What if someone wanted to use an Ipad Pro with USB C and stream Apple Music high res lossless - would there be a simple... 
8-10k budget suggestions please
Get an Ifi Zen Stream.  
Dunlavy resurrection?
I sure would like to find a pair of Dunlavy ii or iii speakers.     
PS Audio S300 amplifier- tube preamplifier recommendation
The S300 is a really good amp and value.  
Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there?
@yyzsantabarbara    I'm thinking of doing this very same thing - have a good amp with selectable xlr and rca - then use my dac on xlr (with volume control) and my tuner into rca.   Right now I use the adjustable gain control on my Onkyo and Sa...

Can you use an Ifi Zen Stream into the Gan1 instead of a bluesound node? Will Zen Stream control volume?

Amazing reviews online. Check out Hifi News.   
Ditch your USB cable for Toslink? Might surprise you!
I've used a lifatek glass toslink with a Logitech Touch via toslink into a dac and I always was surprised at how good it sounded.

I’m an AR I50 buyer and I want easy or auto bias and don’t want to mess around with tubes, changing or rolling tubes. The tube rollers and tube biasers may want to focus elsewhere. But I really want the AR sound in something I can afford and a si...
