may thanks to all!
@zlone i didnt even know audio net, will keep an eye. DAC will indeed remain separate for now. Manunta Eco3, with LPSU, not well known but i found it excellen for the size and price i paid, t and sold my (even better) Audial S5.
@swaudiofan great to hear your own lab12 experience! may i ask what the power amp was? was it lab12 all the way?
@kofibaffour yes i see your point but the Sphinx has class D power section, and i now have tubes in my pre, so in some ways similar. That Onkyo looks good value but will keep DAC / streamer separate for now. I guess you have hear the Arthur? not many have! i found the clarity and lack of distortion at high volume incredible but i can't play loud too often sadly
@rar1 yes i have chord odyssey cables so should work , and good to know Rogue people are helpful! There is a dealer in the UK with a good reputation but 300 miles from London!
@mapman thanks!
