| Passive preamp to a power amp? Is there any reason to expect a SQ difference between Saga passive and Sys theoretically? | |
| Passive preamp to a power amp? Thinking of going Bluesound Node 2i to Schiit Vidar. | |
| Bluesound Node 2i vs Raspberry Pi SQ @usery THanks for the pretty thorough response. I'm guessing you meant "...use my phone, tablet and PC as a remote to control [the playback of] FLAC files [stored] on an external hard drive".Correct.Is the Bluesound 2i sound quality any good? Comp... | |

| Best bookshelf speakers @mrfungi - looking forward to your impressions. There’s not much info on them online and I’m always a little suspicious of over the top early buzz on a product. But that return policy covers you.As of now, I’m leaning heavily towards the Philharmo... | |
| Affordable integrated pure class A? What about an affordable Class A power amp? I'm starting to be open to the idea of separate, maybe using the Schiit Saga as the pre. I know Schiit has a Class A power amp coming out soon for USD 800. | |
| Affordable integrated pure class A? I'm hoping it's more of a one time purchase than a hobby - like purchasing the best washer/dryer for me :D. I want to get back to the hobby of music enjoyment. | |

| Affordable integrated pure class A? Thanks guys. I’m assembling a system from scratch and have heard so many good things about pure class A. I’m looking at bookshelf speakers in the 2k range. I’m coming from portable audio and I’ve got the LHS GeekOut V2A headphone DAC/Amp which is ... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers Has anyone here heard the Xavian Perla Exclusive? They've gotten several stellar reviews and look amazing. Price is around 2k shipped to the US, but no US dealers so a bit risky. | |

| Most well rounded LS3/5A-inspired speaker? What about the more affordable options like the Spendor A1 and ProAC Tablette 10? My understanding is that they've been designed to modernize ie extend the bass response of the LS3/5A? | |
