Luxman L-509x for B&W 803 D3
Hi @caphill  I like my MSB Discrete very much. Obviously it's their entry level DAC, but that's all I could afford. I have the dual Discrete power supplies (not the powerbases).

Thanks @erik_squires  this is very helpful!The Luxman 900u you mention is a logical upgrade, but that would require me to also buy a preamp, which means a lot of money. I can use my DAC (MSB Discrete) to drive an amp directly (with no preamp), as ...

Make sure you can get a home demo before purchasing. To be clear, I already have them. I had the Luxman from before, and just got the 803 D3. I as simply asking if I need to replace Luxman with something more powerful now with the new speakers

Thanks guys! It sounds pretty good with my Luxman L-509x, but in the absence of other amps to try, I did not know if would sound even better with something else, more powerful, and closer to maximum spec range (up to 500 WPC)

Anyone owns the Reference 3K? 
Anything better than Revel F228be?
Better than my F228be @soundsrealaudio ? I am really hoping that’s the case, so that I don’t have to spend any money and stop looking 😉😂

Anything better than Revel F228be?
Yes @jl35 indeed! A friend of mine has them, and they sounded fantastic in his house. Unfortunately, DALI brand is not so popular here in US.
