Why not combine streamer, roon core,endpoint, server and cd ripper together??
I didn’t realize that your all in one combo player also included a digital crystal ball. 
Dinah Washington, have you listened to her?

Why not combine streamer, roon core,endpoint, server and cd ripper together??
Less shelf space, less cabling, less compatibility issues; I get it. But, IME, digital tech changes faster, last less longer, depreciates faster, and is harder to repair than other components. If one of those combined things fails; the whole thing...

Speaker Amp Pairing Question

Vertical component placement?
@atmasphere , makes sense, thanks. 
Vertical component placement?

Vertical component placement?
@atmasphere , thank you for your prompt response. Are you referring to internal heat sinks? 
Automatic Room Correction has won the Subwoofer Wars
I hope the OP will forgive me, but it seems this thread has already gone in bit of a different direction already.  It would seem to me, despite being somewhat contrary to audiophile common sense; that flush to wall/corner mounted drivers (preferab...
