Schiit, I have a Magnius. :dt880smile:

Both? If you have different recommendations for each let me know.

As I mentioned I have a Kawai VPC1 running Pianoteq 8 and a Topping DX7 Pro+. So what would you suggest with my "system"?

I am currently using a pair of HD650 for my digital piano setup but am wondering if I could substantially upgrade. Obviously I am mostly interested in what will make my setup sound the most realistic and authentic. To give some background about the setup, I have a Kawai VPC1 controller and am...

That's unfortunate. Will have to send it back.

Hey iFi, does the Stream support Amazon Music HD yet?

So I just ordered one of these but I watched a YouTube video and they said it doesn't support Amazon HD? Is that true? If so, I need to send it back.

Are there any "you just had one job" wi-fi streamers that output to coaxial only? No DAC, no amplification etc. No extraneous features. What I'm looking for specifically is if anything will stream Amazon HD.

Amazon Echo Link Peachtree DAC iTx JDS Labs Atom (just arrived yesterday!) Massdrop Hifiman HE-4XX (just came a few days ago!) You can also see a pair of HD-650 back there.

So last night I put together a playlist that I can use to demo my system for friends and to try to set up a standard for me to listen to when I'm comparing different pieces of equipment. Thought I would share, and if anyone has done similar, would love to see your playlists. I'm using Spotify...

Hey all. It's been almost 13 years since this thread was active. Wow. Time flies. I'm curious if anyone could tell me (if they remember my ezDAC) what are the advances in DAC technology since the mid-2000s? One of these days I'd like to take up DIYing again. :)

Since you guys mention tube amps what do you think of the DarkVoice 336SE?

Thanks that actually helps. I'll give it some more thought and just keep listening to what I have for now probably.

I mean I like my current system. I'm not an expert, hence, why I'm here asking you guys.

Say <$1000 total to spend and all kinds of music (hip hop, metal, jazz, classical, rap, etc).

Current system: Source -> Amazon Echo Link DAC -> Peachtree DAC iTx Amp -> JDS Labs O2 Headphones -> Sennheiser HD650 What would be the biggest bang for the buck upgrades here (excluding the Echo Link which I just bought and need for convenience in my setup)?

Signed up for the trial subscription, and have to say I can't hear a lick of difference switching back and forth between Spotify and Tidal on my Sonos system. I guess I won't be renewing.

I use ExpressPCB. My last order was 100 boards:

Man, this thread has totally died, so I'm going to bust out the heart paddles: Devastation (Chicago) If you haven't heard of Devastation, that's apparently because they broke up before breaking out of the nascent mid-80's death metal scene in Chicago. They had one LP in 1987, and that was...

NPR has been streaming their live performance of HoL from SXSW.

Well, yet another famous metal band beginning with the letter "M" that I will not be owning their albums after the third one. This is an awful mess. Sorry, but someone had to say it.

Papsmear was a thrash metal band from Vegas who broke up in the late 80's or early 90's. It was pretty much impossible to find their stuff until a few months ago, when a new record label named M-Theory released a compilation of some of their demos and live stuff. It's really fantastic. In fact...
