| A Tidal/Deezer Streamer to augment Oppo 105? I stream Deezer FLAC via a Sonos Connect on both of my systems - both modified by Wyred4Sound (44.1 khz). Very happy with the results. The Sonos app is great, IMO. I also have two of the small Sonos speakers in other rooms, and it's nice to int... | |

| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? I have a 2nd system in a smallish room (10x18) with WharfeDale Denton 80th's (5 inch drivers).Space and aesthetics were constraints for adding a sub in this room, but I ended up buying a small sealed sub by Cambridge Audio - the Minx X301 (8").Lik... | |

| I want to pick up a vintage SS integrated I bought a a Kenwood KA-7100 four years ago for the same reasons you are looking, Nitewulf. I think I paid $120 for it. Except for hitting it with deoxit, I didn't do anything to it. It sounds pretty good - especially for how old it is. I thin... | |

| Is there a better DAC than the Schiit Bifrost for $300? I have a Modi-2 Multi-bit (Mimby). I think it sounds very good and is great value. Sometimes the highs have a metallic glare, though. A hi-hat can sound like air being released from a tire.From the reviews I've read, it sounds that as you go up... | |
