IFI ZEN Streamer
dbb 57 posts 12-22-2021 10:19am My Stream plays all sample rates including DSD. I use JRiver. It was not easy to get it configured, but once it was set up properly the sound quality is excellent. Adding an inexpensive d-link dgs-105... 
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
"That being said, the Musetec does a much finer job than the LKS on all the digital configurations so any sonic improvement may be more subtle than on the LKS." I thought Mustec and LKS were the same company?  
Schiit Lokius anyone?
There's a new 4 band as well now called the Loki+. Wonder how much better it is than the original 4 band. 
Did you ever had a chance to compare the Elac Navis to the passive UniFi's?
Yes, Navis are a significant upgrade over UniFi regardless of amp. Watch John Darko’s review video of the Elac Navis. "ELAC’s Navis ARB-51 are a knockout!" and he addresses Elac vs UniFi at 12:27. He tried expensive amps with UniFi and couldn't ge... 
AFFORDABLE (under $1K) Best SS and Tube Amps for HD600
Not sure why BasX would be removed. At $230 I think it’s fantastic at it’s price point for HD600 / HD650. I liked it just as much as the crack with speedball. BasX with iTube combo also sounds great. 
New SR Orange fuse ...
What type of equipment is needed to hear the difference between Blue and Orange? I have Elac Navis speakers and an LKS dac. Am I going to hear a difference between Blue and Orange? I can get Blue for $92 and Orange for $157. Will it be worth it?

The Absolute Sound - ELAC Navis Review
I had the LS50W and Elac Navis at home and did A/B testing. To try to have a level playing field I fed a signal from my external DAC through the LS50W RCA input which sounded considerably better than using only the internal DAC on the LS50W. My ob... 
Elac Navis stand mount vs Kef LS50 wireless

Elac Navis stand mount vs Kef LS50 wireless
I compared the Elac Navis ARB51 and the LS50W at home with an A/B switch over about a week using a Schiit Saga preamp and an LKS MH-DA004 DAC in a small 11 ft x 13 ft room. I used the RCA input on the LS50W and a sound meter to ensure the volume l... 
KEF LS50 Wireless Internal vs External DAC ??
lgoler Why not try the new ELAC Navis and ditch the KEF LS50W altogether, since its active, can be wireless, but doesn’t force one to use an onboard DAC, allowing for much more flexibility in the signal chain? transience OP The Navis is a great op...

LS50 Wireless fail, or is old gear that good?
b_limo A friend of mine went with the Active Ls50’s and set up properly, they are amazing! They (Active Ls50’s) don’t seem to care what signal you are feeding them; they always sound pretty dang good. The imaging, timing and coherance are like not... 
KEF LS50 Wireless Internal vs External DAC ??
Sorry for veering off topic. I also 100% agree with the assessment that the RCAs on the LS50W sound notably better than the USB port. I’m streaming from a computer and also use a turntable, both going through the LS50W RCAs at the moment. I haven’...
