Pass Labs INT-25 integrated amplifier or any Pass Labs integrated. Im running Klipsch LaScallas with Pass Labs XP30 line stage and older Pass Labs Pure Class A Monoblocks. I have had Klipsch speakers since 1974 when as a kid I bought my first pair... 
Bricasti Design M1 SE - W/ LAN Network Streamer - Version 1.51 V. Denafrips Terminator
djones51.  I almost get it. My entertainment center has 4 CAT 5 ethernet cables hardwired to my router. Connect the Bricasti to the internet via one of the ethernet CAT 5 cables.  That is the streamer and the DAC. I would probably use XLR balanced... 
Bricasti Design M1 SE - W/ LAN Network Streamer - Version 1.51 V. Denafrips Terminator
Thanks everyone.  I am leaning toward the  Bricasti Design M1 SE with LAN Network Streamer . MSB is nothing short of revolutionary and its modular componentry is probably the solution to the rapidly moving digital technology. I suspect the price f...

Roon Power Supply

small footprint Class A mono blocks and pre amplifier
br3098. I am enjoying immensely my Passlabs Aelph Zero Class A mono blocks. They image flawlessly with my Passlabs XP30 line stage preamp.  They get very warm but not so hot that I can't put my hand on top for short period. I do have plenty of spa...
