Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers?
@christianb5s4 agree completely. Between the Gold Note DS10 and the Lumin U1 mini when I used them both as pure streamers feeding into the Luxman D03X DAC, I found the Lumin U1 mini so much better than the Gold Note DS10, (Gold Note was a lot pric... 
Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers?
@kray thanks.. So was your setup the Ropieee pi4 dropping bits to not sound as good as the Lumin U1 mini?  I had the Lumin U1 mini for a while before I traded it for a Lumin D2, now I am trading that for a Hifi Rose RS150.. Lumin was great, but t...

@kray isn't Lumin U1 mini just a streamer? meaning it doesn't have an onboard DAC.. like it's digital bits right?   
Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers?
@ghdprentice just curious, what streamer do you have?   
Hifi Rose RS150B
@aberyclark I have the Lumin D2 and between the two I prefer the hifi rose. I find the rose more musical with more dynamics and bit of boost on the bass without losing the high frequency response. Also I go of my memory on the Gold Note DS10 that ...

Thank you so much @joeinid I posted some additional photos to capture my audio journey of what I had been doing the last several months to the year.. Let me know what you think..  I am so glad my dealer had both Mcintosh and Luxman.. I was so disa...

@hiendmmoe I have had my M10X for a few months now.. everything you have said rings so true.. I am so glad to have swapped the Mcintosh 462 with the M10X..

@joeinid @plinko brought home the 595ASE demo from the dealer, wow.. just wow!! it is beyond belief.. I am hearing the voice of God. Forgive me if you are not into a higher being.. I am just breathless.. It is a wonderful machine.. It is several n...

@plinko i had the fortune of being able to borrow both 550AXii and 509 from the dealer and compare them side by side at my home. The 550 ax ii was more to my liking.. and I went with the 550..  @joeinid I am looking forward to my visit to the dea...

@joeinid I agree with you so much what you said on enjoying the gear in good health. I recently lost my mom and dad and so much of that rings true on the fact life is only once and health is not a given. And you are spot on with the amp/speaker s...

Thank you @joeinid. You are so right about the 595 being redundant with the C900U/M10X combo.. I am tired of the MA352 and my choices with the dealer is I can swap it out within a year of purchase of anything that is twice as much, and that’s par... 
The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming.
@joeinid I am in the market to check out the Luxman L595 A SE. I have the 550AXII, D03X and The M10X. And I am waiting on the C900U to be delivered. Right now I am driving the M10X with the preout of the 550AXII and it's heavenly. So I am an all i... 
Luxman 550AXii and 509X
@ryder @elliottbnewcombjr I listened to the SQ-N150 at the dealer.. and they were driving some Harbeth speakers.. I was smitten by how such a small guy can just fill up the entire room with beautiful sound.. and the build quality, my goodness..  I... 
Luxman 550AXii and 509X
@ryder understood!! awesome you have the 590AXii 😀. I wish I had got my hands on it, before Luxman decided to pull the plug on that.. I am quite content and happy with the 550AXii..
