What are good amps for Focal Maestro Evo
I have not tried bi-amping the Maestros. Given how little power I use, my impression is it would not be worth the cost. Majority of all my listening would be no louder than -20 on the Delta Pre. This is about 3W on the mono meter (vertical) and an... 
What are good amps for Focal Maestro Evo
That is a lot of speakers! I don't quite understand how all are being used. How much time is spent in 2-channel vs. home theater? The Maestros are 93db sensitive. They get loud fast, and you probably don't want to hear this part, with almost any ...

JRiver Locks up Marantz NA11S1 - Replacement Options?
Unfortunately no chance to take a vacation right now! I have looked at the Auralic Aries G1, but it doesn’t look like it can support the built in server feature. I can continue to use the Marantz NA11S1 as a DAC if needed. Is the main benefit of t...
