| Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more My solution, which puts sound quality above everything else,is to use a Roon Nucleus to feed an Ayre Codex. I'm quite confident nothing else will come close under $3k. I connect my tv to the optical input, the Nucleus to usb. TV sounds radically b... | |
| Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ? The Luxman 509 is awesome, as is the Ayre AX 5 | |
| Power Cord suggestion please I truly wouldn't worry about power cords until I had a reasonably good amplifier, which fairly obviously would not be destroying the sound reproduction capability of a speaker by being built into the cabinet. | |

| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? You will not find anything to match the Sabrinas. And they are stunning with just a Rogue Cronus Magnum II driving them! | |
