Can a Classe SSP replace a dedicated stereo pre?
Coming to this a little late…. I have had a Sigma SSP and Sigma Amp5 since shortly after the model was released and have been generally very happy.  I thought my experiences might be helpful to those considering Classe.Prior to buyout that resulte...

Roon and a NAS set up?
Woods,As you can tell, I am “all in” on the Nordost product line.  There is a lot of debate as to this “religion” but I have found their products to be exceptional though there are other brands that are good as well.  Part of the “religion” is tha... 
Roon and a NAS set up?
Hi Woots,I recently "upgraded" from an Aurender N100H 4TB to a Roon Nucleus+ with a Synology DS218j (duplicate 6TB drives).  I am using USB output with Nordost Tyr2 USB cable into Classe Sigma SSP Pre/Pro with Classe CA-2300 and ProAc Response 5 w...

Classe CAM 350 monoblock vs Classe CAM-400 or Bryston 4B3
@mike_in_nc You are correct that for 1-2 years, the Classe repairs were being handled by B&W and quality was definitely suspect but over the last year or so many of the original technicians from Montreal have been re-hired.  Last year at Axpon... 
Classe CAM 350 monoblock vs Classe CAM-400 or Bryston 4B3
timothy,I own a full Classe pre/pro SSP Sigma with CA 5100 (which is from the series that the CAM 400 resides) a 5 channel 100 wpc amp that I use for all surround and the newer CA 2300 (the newer series from which the architecture is very similar ... 
Roon Nucleus as Network Player
I recently moved from an Aurender N100H (4TB) to a NAS (6TBx2 Red drives /  Synology DS218j) with Nucleus+  with Nordost Tyr 2 USB, Nordost Brahma PC, AC and BC sort kones.  I was generally happy with the sound of the Aurender but was not happy wi... 
Aurender N100 software update, now Aurender Media Manager is incompatible!
Ahh, that makes more sense. I have only used the USB for copying files into the internal drive. Never tried using USB as an active drive on Aurender. I would still recommend you upgrading to an internal drive as I think this is what Aurender desig... 
Aurender N100 software update, now Aurender Media Manager is incompatible!
Uberwaltz,I recently made the jump from Aurender to Roon.  I did so because I wanted whole house, music zones (Sonos system) and because I don’t like the way music backup can be done from Aurender.  I have 2 TB of music on my 4 TB Aurender.  My pr... 
A queston of Classe', or other amps
Timothy,Very sensible response.  One note... the CA-M400 is the previous generation.  It runs warmer than the 600 same situation with CA-2200 vs. CA 2300.  My experience is that there is less heat and slightly better sound quality on the later one... 
A queston of Classe', or other amps
timothywright,I am the friend that Ron17 was referring to that just purchased the CA-2300 and yes I am thrilled with it.  Ron probably told me about your posting because I have only been somewhat joking with him about my listening room being cold ...
