PSB Synchrony Owners - What Amp Are you using
Sorry for the delay in response. So far I love the Sync Ones with my Ayre integrated amp. I am using Morrow cables for my ICs and speaker cables (Biwired). Still playing with positioning a little bit (amount of toe in). My room is larger with high... 
Mini Mac, Sonos and NAS HELP
I agree that Sonos is mot cheap, and the logitech sb is comparable for a single application. Also if I was simply looking at the best tool to present my music library to my main audio room -- I would have looked harder at the Log sb or just a dire...

Help with fatiguing sound in my PC system
Also having the PS Audio DL III -- I would have to disagree with it as a cause for the fatiguing sound. I run from a SONOS digital coax out to the DLIII, to an AYRE integrated amplifier (vial XLR balanced ICs) to a pair of PSB Sync 1 speakers. The...

Ayre C-5xe mp vs PS Audio Digital Link III
I would describe it as a stronger/louder sound --- while I do not have any definitive audio measures (with a mic or similar). I do judge that by turning up the C-5xe by 3-5 on the volume (matching db to the 60 on the Ayre) I get closer to simlar s... 
Need help matching DAC to speakers and amp
The DAC I own, I consider to be a bit on the warm site the PS Audio Digital Link III. I think the sound and playback is incredible. I have coupled this with a SONOS setup playing out of my Ayre Integrate Amp (AX-7e). I have a NAS device with my co...
