HiFi streaming with Schiit DAC and Vanatoo speakers.
system for condo
Put a system in my girl mate's condo consisting of a Sonos connect and Audio Engine speakers actually not bad sound for a craigslist acquired Connect and AE speakers.
Thinking about taking the next step. I have a Wyred for Sound Moded Connect I proly will slide into the system and use that as a source until Sonos kills it with upgraded software (but they promise not to do that after the massive blowback).
My goal is to have this system create a nice image at moderate volume levels as we need to be aware of the neighbors. System can't boom. Also budget is <$2K Proly go used on amp and speakers
Proly just need a power amp since the Sonos has volume control. I saw a Hegel Prost on here that looked nice but again dont need all the input capability and volume control. Rotel Comes to mind, Hegel if I can find one.
Now for the Speakers I need something fairly compact. I had set of smaller Quad S series that I liked , but sold, and might work and also like the size and look of the Totem Acoustic Hawk. Book Shelf would work as well as I already have stands the AEs are sitting on. Lots of B&W book shelfs floating around here on Craigs as there is a local dealer selling them.
Suggestions welcome
