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. | |

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. | |
Streamer question Definitely look at Matrix Audio. At the lower end is the Mini-I Pro 3 for under $2K. High end is the Element X for about $3.4K. Excellent pre-amp streaming DACs with headphone amp included. Or Hegel h190 or Naim Uniti Atom integrated amp DAC strea... |
