DAC/Streamer/PreAmp
@mdalton  The USA is a constitutional republic, not a pure democracy and that's a good thing.  As far as talking about servers and streamers... this is the dac-streamer-preamp forum so that's why.

Anybody here pair a Kinki EX-M7 with a Magnepan LRS+ ?
@yyzsantabarbara  I just reached out to Mr. Sanders, thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks yyz, I did a bit of reading about Sanders and I like it.  I heard that Coda builds the amps for him.  Any truth to that?

Thanks yyz, appreciate the comments. I haven’t looked into the Magtechs yet. Does he have any more? As far as Peachtree goes, I have heard mixed reviews but I haven't listened to one yet so I can't really say anything.  The most recent high power...
