| Music Server You might find the Sonore microRendu to be your solution, allowing compatibility with the QNAP NAS, and a variety of software control apps that you can use including Roon, Lumin, Linn Kazoo. I've posted the benefits on multiple threads already and... | |
| If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp? Lots of great comments on this thread.
