| Best speakers in the 50-60k range ? @d2girls in a lot of ways what you hear with Magico speakers will be what they're being driven with. They're extremely transparent so I often see people characterize their opinion of them based on what they were being played with.As an example, I'... | |
| Bi-amp benefits with active crossover https://www.audioholics.com/frequent-questions/the-difference-between-biamping-vs-biwiring has a decent section on active and passive bi-amping. | |
| Preamps with separate L/R volume controls @kalali no functional difference, but typically some implementation difference. | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? @brettmcee I've been following this thread to try and get a better understanding of exactly what you're looking for, but I'm still not sure I have a good picture of it.I notice some people have mentioned the Lumin DACs with transformer-coupled out... | |
| Preamps with separate L/R volume controls The Questyle "Golden Reference System" dual mono setup has separate volume controls for each channel.Some of the Parasound Halo amps have gain knobs for each channel, as do the pro versions of Bryston amps. | |
| Best solution to send digital files to my DAC An audio network streamer is what's going to actually connect to your DAC and send it the digital audio signal.A server is what's going to hold all your locally stored digital audio files and make it available to the network streamer.You also need... | |
| Is this possible .... The Audio Research LS25 manual says you can use the processor rear input and front toggle switch to engage HT bypass mode, so that’d be the way to connect your AVR’s regular left/right pre-amp analog outputs to the LS25. | |
| Power Conditioners - and where they are placed There's no issue with placing your PS4 on top of the power conditioner. | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice @ghulamr I don't think there's any direct option to stream Apple Music from one source to another except using AirPlay. You'd have to convert the digital output or perform digital audio capture from an Apple Music source (e.g. your computer) for t... | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice @puppyt we carry both Bryston and Lumin, and I would recommend looking at Lumin if you're interested in a change in the user experience coming from the Bryston and Manic Moose. Although as others have mentioned fronting the Bryston with Roon is al... | |

| Devialet Expert 220 Pro Power Cable @bswineford we are a Devialet dealer and the Expert Pro units contain universal power supplies. You should see both voltage ranges printed on the back panel right above the AC inlet socket. | |
| good hifi store in Bay Area @hifineubee have you tried the dealer locator from B&W's web site? Sounds like you might be looking for a non-custom installer—you can filter them out in the dealer locator. | |
| MAC to DAC connectivity You could look at using a Dante converter/adatper. Digital input, Ethernet output, and then the reverse on the receiving end. That will let you run 20 feet no problem.Alternatively consider a network streamer. | |
| Aurender vs. Roon @mrdon if I may offer a response to your question:How do you feel about the Lumin D2 or Lumin U1. I already have a DAC (Prism Sound Callia)Placing the U1 in front of your Callia would work great.The D2 offers analog outputs, and will sound differe... |
