Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3
@tangramca I am expecting the H590 to sound like or better than the H30 mono block amps. Hegel designer stated the design goal was to make the best amp they could and said "why not make it an integrated"

@amg56 Do you have any good links to here live performances? I have been listening to FLOW STATE now non-stop for the past few 2 days. I think I  like.  
Rush/Stevie Wonder remasters vs. 24 Karat Audio Fidelity releases...
I got the Rush hi-res downloads and like them a lot. 
Daughter needs something better than iPhone for music. Help!
@jc4659 If you go with the Peachtree Nova 150 you would use an iPhone LIGHTNING connector to the USBA input on the back of the Nova integrated. This unit is a class D amp + preamp + dac = integrated. For the non-iPhone stuff you have a USB2 input ... 
Daughter needs something better than iPhone for music. Help!
Peachtree Nova 150 is great (using with KEF LS50) and it also has a better than average iPhone input. The iPhone sound is tolerable via the Peachtree input. I listen to FLAC and FM radio and occasional iPhone input.I got mine used here on A'gon fo... 
Hegel H590
This is the 2nd company that I heard is doing a custom OS, ROON and Hegel. When I heard that PS Audio is writing their own version of ROON I decided to not go for the DS DAC. I am a software guy myself and cannot see an audio company doing softwar... 
Hegel H590
https://www.hegel.com/products/integrated/h590Do not understand why Hegel does not make this a ROON endpoint. Especially, considering they wrote their own OS for it.

@iar I have heard both of these specific demo units listed on A’Gon. The 3100 driving Wilson speakers at the 2017 LA show. The 3000 at a dealer event for the Los Angeles Audio Society. If I had the cash one of those would be in my home today. 
KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4?
@theothergreg How big is your room? Did you have the Blade 2 in your room to compare with the Ref 5? I am interested because I am going to be putting a Blade 2 in a very small room, maybe 14 x 13. At least for a few years, until I move them to a b...

@iar One difference between the 3000 and 3100 is that the 3100 has the ability to add the optional $10K power supply. This allows the 3100 power supply to focus on the input and the optional power supply to focus on the output. I may have this bac...
