So I have a DAC; now what Player should I look at?
Products in the Bryston BDP line are all great network transports. BDP-1 used well under $1000, though a bit long in the tooth. BDP-Pi is an interesting product. I use Raspberry Pis in some setups and they are great with the Allo Digione products,... 
Best amp for KEF LS50
Still love my Rogue Cronus Magnum II with my LS50s, even more so after some careful tube rolling. 
Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me?
I recently did an in shop A/B between the CMII and the PL Prologue (not DiaLogue). For me, the Rogue won hands down, but obviously both have their benefits.I think personal taste is a huge part of selecting between the two. Some folks criticize th... 
DENAFRIPS Terminator and Schiit Yggdrasil Evaluation and Comparison
Thanks for this great review of two fantastic products that you can't typically demo at the local audio dealer.  I'm a happy owner of Gen B Yggy, but I've heard really compelling reviews about the entire Denafrips line.  I can't wait to hear impre... 
Rogue Cronus Magnum II, but I have depth constraints..
Yup -- they are still in the basement space in Falls Church City and seem to be very busy.  Hopefully they'll continue to be on the upswing--they are good folks.

I got the Cronus Magnum II. I thought the Prologue was great, but I enjoyed the Rogue more when listening to my preferred music styles (jazz/acoustic). I do think female vocals were a shade better on the PrimaLuna, at least on the recordings we we... 
Rogue Cronus Magnum II, but I have depth constraints..
After all the helpful advice, I didn't want to leave folks hanging.  I did go back for an A/B with the Rogue Cronus Magnum II and the PrimaLuna Prologue (instead of the Dialogue).  Both great sounding amps, but Benny Golson breaking in on the sax ...

My buddy swears by his Jolida and is definitely pushing that option.  I'm bringing him along to listen to the Primaluna and Rogue this weekend.The fact that avanti1960 provided me measurements and advice from his own kit within 20 minutes of my or...

Indeed!  I have a side-by-side scheduled for next weekend between the Primaluna and the Rogue. 
Rogue Cronus Magnum II, but I have depth constraints..
Thanks -- I don't think headroom will be an issue.  We'd discussed 4 inches or so at the shop and that's easily doable.  If you think more is better, I'd welcome the advice.  The shelves inside the console height adjust pretty easily and this will...

Thank you sir!  That is a great boost of confidence.  There are tons of vents in the back of my console (which is wood) and it would not be a chore to drill some more holes to prevent the need to overly bend cables.I'm going to line up a side-by-s...
