PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference?
         Hello ozzy,      I do the same thing as three_easy_payments with my D2, leave it on 24/7 and it's set to 'sleep' after 15 minutes.       I use mine with a 20 TB Synology storage unit, using an iPad as the GUI, and with all 3 devices wirel...

Audio GD XA150 Monoblocks
Hello soix,      I have no association to D-Sonic, just a big fan that knows they deliver excellent hi-end performance at a bargain price in my system.  I suggest anyone thinking of buying an expensive hi-end amp or amps should try out a pair of t... 
to my ears digital audio does not sound natural? something is wrong!
     Let's not forget about the significant influence that biorhythms, the exact alignment of the planets and stars, psycho-acoustics, your horoscope, prayer, karma, brand and technology bias, serendipity, witch doctor choice, crossing your finger...

Want it Incorporate video into current audio only system,
    jokomo,     Yes, it seems like you have everything you need, except for a cable or two, to do what you want  But I need answers to the following questions before I can describe exactly how to do it:1.  What is the model number of your Bryston ... 
Audio GD XA150 Monoblocks
     They each consume 700 watts constantly when in operation, which is  a lot and this is mostly converted and wasted as excess heat. 
Audio GD XA150 Monoblocks
     I'd check out the 2020 M3-1500 version of these monos before spending more on those: https://6moons.com/audioreviews/dsonic/1.html      All similar performance but about 1/4 the size, weight, electricity consumption, excess heat and retail ... 
PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference?
ozzy,  just answered your pm but forgot you already bought the Lumin X1.  But I think you can still get the same deal with just buying the Synology and drives through them.  They offer excellent service as well.Tim 
Combining a sub-woofer with Bookshelf Speakers
Hello G,    Wolf has experience and understands the many performance benefits of two subs over just one well.  It does take some time to optimally position and calibrate two subs but it's well worth the effort, I think you'll be very pleased with ...
