Seeking a Tidal full MQA streaming DAC
@audiojedi Thanks. I am very close to buying BB or Teac-NT 505. I am very well aware of "diminishing returns". I have changed so many cords, cables, room treatment, integrateds to experience that "small perfection". I am now in final stage to get ... 
Seeking a Tidal full MQA streaming DAC
@mizikeI am currently in similar situation. Trying to figure out between lumin t2, Aurender A10, TEAC NT-505 with master clock and Mytek Brooklyn bridge. Let me know how T2 sounds in your system. Does anybody have any experience with an added exte... 
All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only
I am no expert, but dynamics is more to do with clear delineation across various dynamic spectrum of sound (soft to all the way up to loud notes). Little bit more analytical and may be more definition of every spectrum. Yes, musical is very smooth... 
Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying
@audiotroy Great review on X1, by the way.Let me pitch in here, as I am looking for a streamer/DAC and going through quite a bit of posts on this topic. I have Naim Uniti Nova with aerial acoustics 7T and combo is very good. I wanted class A and r... 
Luxman 590axii vs Pass Labs int 60
I have auditioned pass labs int-250, Luxman 590axii and 509x. Not auditioned Pass labs int-60. I can say that Luxman 590axii is pure gold and musical. You will not go wrong with it and will thank everyone who have recommended. I have been reading ... 
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
My top integrateds which I shortlisted and auditioned: In order:Luxman 590axii Luxman 509x.Esoteric F-05Pass Int-250Gryphon Diablo 300. 
All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only
You should audition Luxman 509 or 590axii. I was also looking initially for all in one and hence bought Naim Nova. I was running (still run sometimes for a change) my aerial acoustics 7T with Naim Nova. I love them and still have it, probably will... 
Luxman vs Pass Labs
I am jumping late in discussion, but thought of giving my 2 cents on Luxman 590AXII.. I just purchased and have been using it since a week now and has barely broken yet. All I can say is wow. Very musical and tube like. There is something about Lu... 
Upgrading Aerial Acoustics Model 7T
It is hard to beat aerial acoustics 7T, with any of the speakers you mentioned. 7T are the "best speakers no one has heard". I had auditioned quite a lot of speakers in 7Ts range (and higher range, up to 25K) and was blown away by 7T. I am glad I ... 
All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only
Another vote for Luxman L-509X. Pair it with Lumin T2 or Aurender A10.  
All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only
Pass labs-INT 250Luxman L-509XBoulder 866Cannot go wrong with any of those. If you want to save money, go for Naim Uniti nova. I have it with aerial acoustics 7T and 2 REL S5/SHO: Love it. As people above have mentioned, it depends on speakers.  
Best speaker between 15K-35K
Consider Monitor audio PL 500 II and Dynaudio confidence 60.  
REL Subwoofer. Your input requested
I have a pair of REL S5/SHOs with aerial acoustics 7T for stereo. I use this as part of HT with 7.2.2 configuration too and have seen amazing results with both set ups. I use high level inputs "only" for 2 channel stereo (no LFE) and use both high... 
Best speakers 5k 10 k
I had researched speakers in those range for nearly 6 months: Considered nearly 12 speakers. I had short listed to Magico A3, Audiosolutions Figaro L, Aerial Acoustics 7T, Revel F228be.I ended up buying Aerial Acoustics 7T. Love them. Audiosolutio... 
Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim?
I am fan of Naim Uniti series. In my basement, I have Naim Uniti Nova with Aerial acoustics 7T: they sound phenomenal. Will not change anything there. The nova shamed my previous musical fidelity amp. In my living room, I have Naim Uniti Atom pair...
