| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? If you are mixing single-ended and balanced inputs into an ARC pre-amp, forget using any adapters unless you have too many inputs of one type. ARC, like Ayre, provides multiple (typically 3) input connectors of each type. Just use the assigned ... | |

| Looking for amp to go with Triangle Borea Br08 AIYIMA A07 Class D Power Amplifier, uses the very same TI TPA 3255 chip as the Topping PA5 for $79.95! 300W per channel, same 32 volt wall wart power supply! Why pay more? | |
| Looking for amp to go with Triangle Borea Br08 Oh ... and your English is just fine! | |
| Looking for amp to go with Triangle Borea Br08 @rodd2 , I can without reservations recommend a used Ayre Acoustics AX-7E Integrated amp. I have been using one of these with Triangle Cometes for years. Great synergy! One of the last amps designed by Charles Hanson. The build quality and d... | |

| New 4K TV; how do I best stream audio through older integrated amp "but 4K streams at a higher rate, correct? Any way to take advantage?"

| USB DAC of Oppo 205 There's nothing quite like preaching to the choir, right? You also seem to have everything you need to evaluate the Oppo DAC performance in your system. Maybe worth mentioning the (long?) pending release of Ayre CX-8 as interesting comparison... | |
| USB DAC of Oppo 205 dbphd, Were you planning to get the NAD possibly to support subwoofer integration or for a surround system? Because for stereo, it seems you are one repair away from being back in good shape. I have the Ayre QB-9 DSD and Ayre AX-7E as compone... | |
| New 4K TV; how do I best stream audio through older integrated amp Chris, You definitely want to use the superior DAC in your Moon amp for digital processing, and not the one in your TV. If you have a TOSLINK - digital Out connection on your TV (highly likely), This will give you a great Stereo digital feed int... | |
