Will this amp work as described below:
appreciate all responses very much. There seems to be mixed views on the power needed to give me my low to mid 90's spl's. Rock and Roll is best served loudly. With good equipment sounds great.  For what it's worth my hearing is very good at prese...

  lalitk, To answer your question, I bought the Project RS2T transport. I read many reviews and several posts from Charles one dad and others. I initially bought one and had to return it, didn't work. It also happened to me for a second unit. Qua...

For the above party. Do you own them, or have you owned them? I believe I have a rather nice system in a very good acoustic area. I listen to R&R loudly, mid- 90's spl.  Have an ATI 6002 amp, Benchmark LA-4 Line amp, Meitner DAC MA-1, Project ... 
Amazon music vs Qobuz
To soix:  Thank you so much for the updates. I looked at several video's about the IFI ZEN streamer. Geared to several, but, not really Qobuz, which I found strange. It seems as though the hardwired is the way to go. I may look into that soon, How... 
Amazon music vs Qobuz
After looking at a couple of videos about the zen streamer, it doesn't sound to bad to hook up. Sounds like what you said. I guessing that that app you spent $6 for enables the ifi streamer to accept Qobuz?? other than that USB to USB  dac to stre... 
Amazon music vs Qobuz
Thanks so much. I don't want to spend a fortune on a streamer, but, you have me really curious now.  Reason, If I don't keep Qobuz,(Love the sound, but terrible interface)  the streamer will be wasted money, as no streamer really supports Amazon H...

I listen to strictly rock and roll, loudly. Tekton Double impacts upgraded in large room. Smaller secondary room, same rock and roll, great bookshelf speaker, Fritz carbon 7SE, both within your price range. Enjoy   Robert TN  
Amazon music vs Qobuz
to those trying to help, I really appreciate it. I have what I believe is a very nice system. However, as far as understanding Audio, etc. I am somewhat of a novice. I want to thank dbb, soix,and edcyn for their suggestions.  Other than paying off... 
Amazon music vs Qobuz
Maybe I wasn't too clear. My Windows based computer is my streamer.  USB from computer to DAC, and also Hardwired Ethernet connection from router to computer port.  I have NO noise that is audible to me, I bring laptop to my listening area on tabl... 
Amazon music vs Qobuz
Thanks for the response. I haven't listened to Amazon in a while, as I prefer Qobuz. In my main system, I use a Meitner DAC M1, which shows exactly the streaming rate. If I remember correctly, on the DAC, Amazon will show HI DEF, but it was always... 
Amazon music vs Qobuz
I have Amazon HD for about 2 years now. Very happy with it. I just had to try Qobus though. I have a pretty good system, about 20k. What I noticed is Qobus does sound BETTER, tighter, more dynamic, just more clarity and oomph. Amazon is much easi...

Good evening: I spent the better part  of the day trying different things. I removed the Focal Aria 948's from the room in question. I had an older pair of boxed stand a mount JBL Studio monitors 530 (book shelf) speakers. $600 bucks a few years a...

Thank you all so much for your suggestions. Starting tomorrow I will move a few things around. (substitutions)  I'm very curious to hear the Focals in my other space, which is much larger and has great acoustics.  I'd agree with most all of you th...
