Quicksilver silver 60 amplifiers
Do you guys think the mid monos would manage to drive a pair of bbc 5/9 87db, never going below 6 ohm? Do they produce a lot of heat ? Thanks!  
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!

This is purely subjective opinion. Aqua LaScala/ Atma-Sphere Class D
How World the PS Audio DirectStream MK2 Dac sound in comparison with the La Scala ? Is it totally different sound signature?  
A quick question on what streamers to consider.......
One possibility is the Rivo, works great with Roon, also the little streamer from Primare is well liked here in Europe, they are both on the cheaper side but are well made and sound great, you can always upgrade to more expensive later if you want...

Help With New Preamp Decision

Help me find a pre-amp
Supratek’s are very musical sounding and quite affordable for what you get.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC

Single input tube preamp
Supratek pre amps, great sounding.  
Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer?
I am very excited to try the Volumio Rivo this holiday, unfortunately it has gotten stuck in customs, so I have to be patient, I want to try it as I use Roon and the Rivo is said to sound great with Roon, my dac is a Primare Dac30.  
Eversolo a6 and Lampizator
Volumio Rivo gets great reviews in Europe especially used with Roon.
