Old CD player back from the dead—prompting many questions!
This post may not be 100% consistent with the OP’s. However, after reading the thoughtful comments here, I figured I’d ask my question: I have a CAL Tercet MK-IV from back in the college days (Still works with the original remote!). After some sea... 
Should I use the dac in my node2i or the one in a marantz av7705?
Thanks for all of your input.  I will continue to experiment with various combinations.  I may look for an affordable standalone DAC for comparison.  Thanks again all!  
Should I use the dac in my node2i or the one in a marantz av7705?
Thanks for all of the great advice! I have a Parasound Classic PRE 200 that might have a ’by-pass’ function. I think I will try to figure that out as a next step. It's currently connected to a pair of marantz ma500 amplifiers in a bookshelf syste...

I do still have the HPA3.  I currently use it as a two channel and have had it serviced/recapped at a place in Texas (Pyramid Audio -- Brands We Service (pyramid-audio.com).  Shipping was a bit much, but in my experience, worth the total cost.  Th...

Magnepan 1.7i Amp recommendations
What are recommendations, if any, for Class D amps driving 1.7i’s? I am currently using Proceed HPAs (used to have them in mono, now using one in stereo) for amplification. the 1.7i’s replaced a set of 802d1’s (the little ones kept pushing in the ...
