| DAC recommendations How is it that no one is mentioning PS Audio Directstream DAC? The MkII is out, which means you can find the first iteration online with the network card and the latest software update used for about $3000, and it’s superbly resolving but laidback... | |
| Speaker Recommendation Help Please. You might consider Harbeth SHL5plus XD, which aren't small standmounts and could use placement a bit away from the wall, but are fantastic and are excellent with the Hegel H390. | |
| Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air I‘ve got a pair of Dynaudio Special 40s for sale in perfect condition for $2500. I love them, but needed something larger scale for my room. | |

| NAD M33 and which speakers? Thanks for this advice! Just to be used with a single pair of speakers and Roon. Now, the question is what standmount speakers... | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. Matrix Audio Mini-i Pro 3 is excellent for about $1350 if you're looking for a pre-amp, streamer, DAC integrated. | |
