| Streamer for mostly Qobuz with volume control Then I might sell the streamer and go for streamer dac preamp? I know that this exists on the lumin T2- T3, hifi rose 250 or else? Olit will add 1000$ to the overall budget | |
| Streamer for mostly Qobuz with volume control @ddude003 no remote control on the integrated amp, thus the need to move upstream without loosing sound quality, @tksteingraber ifi specify not to use their volume control is a loss of quality will occur. I eard from an auralic reseller that wit... | |
| Qobuz dropping rights to my favorites. A pox on their house. I purchase music on Qobuz from loved artist and will store it on an external drive, that way the artist will get the most out of it. As for albums disappearing, I notice it when a song get skipped while on a playlist. This has been happening for m... | |
| Super integrated vs equivalent +$$ for new main system A folow up on my choice, tried de 390, lux 507 and 550 and coda csib v1 and added a friend LFD ncse mk2 to the bunch, 507 was to cold, tonally well balanced but no love,. 550 plenty of warmth, loved the class A but lacked power to control the b... | |

Coda, Raven and Aesthetix, Also looked for p... | |
| Super integrated vs equivalent +$$ for new main system Will definitly try to listen to the Pass Labs, and do a side by side with 507 vs 550s , will definitly look at the 390 but will be harder to audition at home or with M30s, Belles Aria is being added to the short list as well, thaks @ | |
| Super integrated vs equivalent +$$ for new main system I read the other tread and no conclusion came from the discussion, hence my post, didn't want to double post. Will look into Raven and will go back to listening at dealer to test different approach. As I've read Hegel 390 590, luxman 507-509ux, wh... | |
| choice between integrated dac amp vs non integrated I've heard the sound on the 5i but it felt lacky to my taste(wanted a bit more clarity), I'll have to try xs2 it before I pull the trigger as I've never heard it before. Extensively looking to find a place to ear it from near Montreal. As for the ... |
