| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? For a room that size there are a lot of options. This is of course a very personal thing. I find the Wilsons to be somewhat forward and clinical sounding. The other thing is that the industrial design can be a turnoff for some. I have a lot of woo... | |
| Streamer Software @jksec,Roon has a lot of great features that the other software platforms lack. Roon radio is a killer feature. If you enjoy reading the liner notes on a vinyl record cover then you will like Roon.Roon is complicated. It is built to serve a ton of... | |

| Streamer Software I don’t find Roon to be rock steady so I also use the native Kazoo app on my Linn DSM systems. Like most of these software titles they just give you a way to browse Radio TuneIn stations, Tidal, Qobuz, etc, plus access to your own library (assumin... | |
| Streamer Software Some streamers include their own software while others don’t. Some will allow you to use software built for other manufacturers. Some users like free or cheap $10 software systems that retain a simple shareware interface. Others demand a fully dev... | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K @lalitk The audition for the JC 3+ will be with a Linn LP12 (not sure of the specs) and a Rega Elicit-R. I am familiar with both so this should be a decent test to get an idea of the JC 3+. It might be a couple of weeks before I will be at the loc... | |

| App/Player for Bricasti DACs? Hi, I am the OP here.Just to be clear: I don’t own a Bricasti. I was curious about what software options there were for controlling a Bricasti. The feedback I received was that most UPNP players should work. In the end I purchased a used Linn Aku... | |

| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? Have you tried subscribing to Qobuz? | |
| Anyone with experience with Spendor D9's? I own D9s (in limited ebony finish) after auditioning for months. System (after trial and error): Linn Akurate DS (waiting for Katalyst DAC upgrade) > Pass Labs XP-20 preamp > Pass Labs XA30.8 amp > Spendor D9s. Interconnects are Transpar... | |

| spend on the streamer or on the DAC ? FYI: the Linn Akurate DS and DSM units have been around a while. But the different iterations (0,1,2,3) have seen real updates. The current Akurate 3 with Katalyst technology is excellent. They are expensive. Another option is to buy a used older ... | |
| Rega Brio-R vs Elicit-R Leemaze,I have two systems. I started upgrading one (moving away from SONOS streamers) which created a whole new journey down the rabbit hole of slowing upgrading everything. I landed up buying and later selling different things in a quest to get ... |
