Best used integrated for under $5000
@marrduk24 I am keeping my eye on the following shootout by one of the dealers represented here on A'Gon. His Kinki integrated ($2.4K new) is getting a lot of positive feedback. I have also been looking at the Coda Integrated (($5K new) for a whil...

@audiotroy Are you sure about your new website URL. I cannot hit it. 
DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....
@david_ten Thanks for the info. I also do not want to do any conversions from USB to I2S. I was hoping for something that did Ethernet-to-I2S directly. Maybe the folks at Sonare read this and come up with a new Rendu offering? I am going to email ... 
Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers
I am doing a similar trip on Sept 29th in Los Angeles. I will hear the Magico A3 and the Vivid Kaya 45 (or 90). I was hoping to go to Upscale Audio to hear the Focal Kanta but they are closed on Sat. I will likely do a second trip to hear those sp... 
DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....
I just spent an hour reading this thread, instead of working. I am interested in how people would connect the DT to a music server via the 12S connection. In my current rig I have a powerful desktop computer running ROON, my music server. I send t... 
Hegel H590
A few reviews on the H590 post on the Hegel web site.

Thiel CS 3.7 ($6K now)Kef Blade 2 ($13K now). I listed used prices. 
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.
