CODA 8 V1
Doug Dale took my old Coda on trade against a new one.  Of the models that they offer, he recommended the No 8 V1 for my Von Schweikert speakers.  I went with his recommendation. I wasn't looking at their amps costing a lot more.   
Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamplifier vs Conrad Johnson ET5 (or CT5) preamplifier
I have not heard an ET-5, so take this comment with a grain of salt... I'm just throwing out another option.  I had a c-j PV-14L for a lot of years.  It's kinda entry level c-j, but a good performer for the money.  I bought it new.  A couple of y... 
Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile?
My system is posted. I know from comments in posts that a few people have looked at it, but that's about it.  I do look at people's system.  When people render an opinion on gear (good or bad) it's helpful to know the type of system it's being ev... 
Listening in car
When you create a playlist with your Innuos, you can create it as a Sense playlist or a Qobuz playlist.  If you use the Qobuz app on your phone and play music in your car, you will only see the Qobuz playlist.   I had created a playlist using the...

@simao I don't notice any difference between the two.  The audio system is decent, but not real high end.  It's in a 2024 BMW.  It's not the upgraded higher end system.   
Listening in car
I stream Qobuz from my phone and play it back through my car.  I can connect by bluetooth or USB cable.  I use cell service to connect to the internet.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Kacey Musgraves - Deeper Well  
What is your vinyl commitment?
About $4500.  $1700 for a Marantz TT-15S1 turntable, $1200 for a Hana ML moving coil cartridge, $1400 for a Sutherland TZ Vibe phono stage, plus interconnect (not sure which one I'm using).   
Do I still need a DDC in between?
@lanx0003 for sure.  I think I'd ask for a replacement.   
Do I still need a DDC in between?
@lanx0003 mine has never done that.  Not even once. I'm going Gustard to Gustard, so the I2s connection was easy.   
Do some DACs "handle" sibilance better than others?
Sibilance used to drive me nuts.  The last thing that I figured was the problem was my preamp.  But, that's what it was.  My system is more revealing than it's ever been and sibilance is not an issue.    
Have you ever bought something you've never heard of?
@jrod68 I bought my TT and cartridge from Vinyl Renaissance just before they closed.  I've checked out the website for Sound Environment, but I don't see much that interests me.   
Do I still need a DDC in between?
I like my U18 despite the negative opinions.  Especially in combination with my LHY ock-2 clock.  But, I'm using it to convert USB to I2s.  I don't know if it would help much if you could go I2s to I2s. Probably depends on the gear that you're us... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Ghost of the Machine - Scissorgames.  My favorite new band.   
Have you ever bought something you've never heard of?
@jrod68 where do you live now?  I'm in KC.
