| Decent DAC/Streamer Have you looked att Raspberry Pi based systems?You can add s/pdif ports or dacs.https://youtu.be/2fX7NSaAKYUOr try some new integrated solution like this.https://www.miveraaudio.com/forum/puremusic-jr/puremusic-jr | |
| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. Naim and Mark Levinson usually gets Good reviews. I heard a Constellation amp that sounded fantastic. | |
| Best speakers in the 50-60k range ? I think that Price range includes many great speakers, it will come down to taste and what you can find. It was a long time since I heard the JBL K2 S9900 but they were good and horn based. I like Focal and the Scala Utopia Evo is in the Price ran... | |
| Thinking to upgrade speakers Hi fellow Stockholmer!I'm sorry but I can't help you choose from those models. Did you go to High-end Mässan?They played the Revel Perfoma and it sounded great. I also liked the Kii Three with bass towers, should be about the same price. And the A... | |
| What area or country do you live in ? Stockholm, Sweden | |
| Full Range under $5k-ish You can add Audio Solutions speakers to your list. I heard a model I think was the Figaro L at a show and it sounded great. I know it was around $5k in price and a floorstander.http://www.audiosolutions.lt/ | |

| Question About DACs Measurements are 100% accurate in predicting sound quality in DACs if you listen to them blind. @mzkmxcv I think you will have a problem proving that. There are many people hearing differences between dacs, even when listening blind. I have h... | |
| Question About DACs I couldn't see what the rest of your system is. I would not trust measurements very much for dacs, there are very good sounding dacs that don't measure that well and dacs with good measurements that don't seem to sound that well.Try to find a dac ... | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice @ghulamr you probably want to re-clock as close to the dac as possible, not near the source if you go through another device. puppyt, re-clocking is when a device takes in a digital signal and then sends it out (or to some internal part) but chang... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Integrated or Dartzeel LHC-208 Integrated with PMC Fact 12 Speakers I have not heard those. I agree with those who suggests the Gryphon based on its higher output that should med your speakers.One other relevant brand I have heard that was good is Devialet. | |
| Dac selections The Lab12SE has some good reviews, Chord Qutest, Denafrips Pontus. | |
