Sometimes you don't have to spend a TON of money to get superb results.  I have 2, Benchmark   LA-4 pre  amps in two individual systems. A little over 3K with remote, for each. I believe they also offer an HPA-4 ? which comes with a great Headphon...

SVS or REVEL Subwoofer
Have  2 SVS subs.  2 channel only, Rock and Roll only. Sb3000 in smaller room, and SB4000 in much larger area. Both do their job very well. I would agree with another post that the SB4000 is really quite a step up. Front LED of settings, plus both...

rsf507//// Bought new, Got a very good deal, IMO. Yes, it is the model you described with a Network Card. Right out of box after playing with filters (my choice #2 minimum I think it was) sounds quite accurate and very Dynamic, all instruments get...

Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3
Thanks so much for the explanation. Already subscribe to Qobuz and love it! I guess the m Connect I'll have to explore with the dealer. When all is said and done, hoping I can use the Laptop (on a table next to me) via Hard Wired Ethernet to strea... 
Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3
I'm looking forward to receiving the Bricasti unit. I will most likely hook it up via USB to my windows laptop to begin with. Would like to put  a few hours on it to compare it with the Meitner, it is going to replace. (love the Meitner, going int...
