Wattson Emerson Analog DAC/Streamer No WiFi, Blutooth, Screen, Volume Control, Input power & ethernet ports only. LED indicators for power & when streaming. Used with Qobuz and Internet Radio. Sound is detailed and smooth.

For simplicity, longevity, & timelessness. I knew Naim would go above and beyond on this amp. I wasn’t wrong. Highend phono and headphone sections. The designs taken from the new Naim 200 series. The amp section sounds great when used within its limits. I have no issues driving my Spendor...

Nait 50

Agreed, I own the Unitilite with old Matrix 805's and am very pleased but looking to update the speakers. Dynaudio 40 Specials B&W 705 s2 PMC Twenty5 .22 3A MM De Capo BE Monitor are on my short list

An integrated Amp with a built in DAC is on my short list for my 2 channel setup. They seem to be the rage. McIntosh, Bryston and Naim all have there high end versions as well.

I bought the x3000 for the digital out to the 2nd zone (outdoor speakers). That and a high school friend is a dealer so I got a smoking price. The lack pre outs were not a concern. If I was paying full price the Yamaha would have been my number 1 pick.

I ran CAT6 to every room in the house excluding the washrooms. Before drywall I went to each telephone jack, and ran the CAT6 along the phone line and left the wire hanging in the basement for future connections. Several years later I have hardwired only 2 connections. Family room (HT system)...

No pre outs on the 280. The sub isn't what i was looking for right now. Sorta looking for a minimalist system with fewer boxes.

I was thinking along the same lines with regards to the Arcam. Changing the speakers is an option, but they need to be bookshelves. The Matrixes are front ported and seem mostly immune to room placement. My listening area is 13'x15'x9'high with carpet. Its interesting you say "room treatment"...

My source is iTunes(Apple Lossless) on my iMac with a hard connection to my Home Network. My Apple TV is also hardwired and connected to my Arcam AVR 280. My Speakers are Matrix 805's. My question is where do I start with upgrading? I was thinking of a higher end integrated with a built in DAC...

I don't own Totems so I don't need to be "satisfied" in that way.

The U.S is very different from the European/ market where Totem speakers are held in high regard. Most of the top end models sound best with powerful amps. Ember 6moons audio reviews: Totem Element Ember The Forrest, Model Ones get great reviews as well. I always wanted a pair of Totems and...

Yeah, thats what i figured. On my short list for the Kitchen/Family room. Thanks

Love posts about people are enjoying their gear. Thats what its all about. I was looking at the room volumes and the speaker recommendations on the Ohm web site.. Your rooms seem a lot bigger than the suggested Ohm speaker size. How do you find the sound volume without the subwoofer? I suspect...

If I was replacing my Arcam AVR280 I'd be taking a serious look at the Yamaha RX-A2010.

Yeah I already checked the Sonos out. You need the zone bridge and the controller (iphone/itouch) but its a little large for the kitchen and maybe complicated for my wife. It looks like a winner of a product though. Would be perfect for mobile audio around the house and especially the...

What in the hell type of response was that. Damn you for all eternity! If I wanted common sense and practicality I would ask my wife's friends what they thought. Not post on Audioholics. I came here for justification for an over priced product, not a logical reasonable "you shouldn't buy"...

My wife wants a radio for the kitchen. She has already warned me it has to be simple to operate and attractive. So I was looking at the Blose Radio. Not unattractive, would sound ok and it can suspended using a Bose Bracket underneath the cupboards. Problem is I think analogue radio is...

Why not compare the latest offerings? http://www.velodyne.com/products/product.aspx?ID=37&sid=168m605a I think the new velos look mighty fine.

Funny enough I have the same speakers as you and I find myself using my shure earphones when listening to music on my computer. The Promedias though good for gaming fall short for music listening imo. For music, though expensive these dyns are on my short list...
