I love Hijiri and Sternklang.  Tchernov just never did it for me.  I would be willing to try the Hijiri SM2 but I would need to sell the Nagome if there is any interest out there.

@pokey77  I wish I could update you on my Aries Cerat Equipment but I am not receiving it until the end of the year.  Right now, I have the AC Essentia Mono amps.  I will be getting the Aurora Speakers, Ageto Pre, and Kassandra 2 DAC.  I will rep... 
Streamer/server newbie
Given your system and your desires just get a Lumin U-2 mini to act as a transport.  Simple and inexpensive.  I got rid of all of my CD's once I got a Lampizator Pacific and Horizon DAC and a Lucas Audio Music Server. LDMS.  I just sit in my chair... 
Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k
One more thing...If you have the Nagra DAC, then a Lumin X-1 is not needed.  Lumin X-1 by itself would be good.

Besides Lalit, (I know what speaker cables he has), for those using Hijiri PC's and Interconnects, what speaker cables are you using and why?  
Lampizator Questions
My Pacific with VC ran direct to Aries Cerat Essentia amps.  My Horizon also runs directly to Amps.  IMO, the pre-amp portion of the P and the H are good enough to where you do not need a Preamp.  
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
I had the Lumin D-2, U-1 mini, A-2 and X-1.  I thought the X-1 was the best DAC I had heard under $18k.  I purchased a Lampizator Pacific and at first there was very little difference between the two.  Tube Rolling does come into play here.  I now... 
Lampizator Questions
What are your questions?  I have had the Lampi Pacific and Horizon.  The build quality on each was extremely good.  Tube rolling is not necessary but everyone does it.  It is fun to change tubes to find your sweet spot.  Once you find it, you usua... 
Recommended Server?
Save your money if you do not need a Music Server and really only a transport streamer.  Go Lumin.  The U-1 mini is simple, a nice app an easy to use.  BTW, you are missing the boat by not going full music server.  If you did, you should look at L... 
ENO or MUON
@jasinbirnda After the house fire, what system did you end up buying?  
ENO or MUON
I just purchased the Muon Pro cabling system with the filter after having a few calls with Rob from Network Acoustics.  BTW, Rob is a super nice guy.  I was leery to spend 2K+ for this system but I am going to say after 30 hours of play time it is...

I just ordered another Hijiri RCA cable.  I will now have a full loom of Hijiri Power cords and interconnects.  Thanks again Colin King at Gestalt Audio in Nashville.  In the next 6 months I have to order 3 pairs of speaker cables to support the c... 
Why do I need a switch?
I just got the Network Acoustic Muon Pro series Ethernet cable and filter.  It is an expensive Ethernet cable.  I am considering three switches.  Paul Pang, Ediscreation, and the new one that is due out in June from Network Acoustics.  These switc... 
Ethernet and USB cables
I just received my Network Acoustic Muon Pro Series cabling system with a filter.  I am also incorporating a mini switch between the wall and my Lucas Audio LDMS Music server.  .

I have the full Hijiri loom except for speaker cables.  Did you compare the Hijiri speaker cables to Sternklang?   I need to buy 3 -4 sets of speaker cables sometime before the end of the year when my Aries Cerat Aurora speakers show up.
