| PS Audio S300 amplifier- tube preamplifier recommendation The S300 is a really good amp and value. | |
| Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there? @yyzsantabarbara I'm thinking of doing this very same thing - have a good amp with selectable xlr and rca - then use my dac on xlr (with volume control) and my tuner into rca. Right now I use the adjustable gain control on my Onkyo and Sa... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Has anyone thought of a way to get more than one digital input into a Gan1 so you can use two inputs that have volume without having to connect and disconnect coax all the time? Would something like a Matrix SPDIF allow you to do that? | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @ricevs Ric, will you be offering and selling upgrades to the Gan1? If the Gan1 puts out 200 watts per channel it should work with a Maggie 1.7i? Are you also thinking of doing upgrades to the VTV D300? | |

| Audio Research i/50 I talked to audio research again this week and they don’t know when the dac module will be available but soon. The dac module looks like a great option. | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Can you use an Ifi Zen Stream into the Gan1 instead of a bluesound node? Will Zen Stream control volume? | |
| Audio Research i/50 Amazing reviews online. Check out Hifi News. | |

| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile @wolf_garcia did you change all 4 of the tubes to NOS GE tubes? is there a model number for the NOS GE tubes? | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile @eljif or anyone else: ……,are these the CBS Hytron 5692 tubes you are referring too? And you put two on the input side? (Which I’m not sure which side is which!? https://www.nosvacuumtubes.net/product/cbs-hytron-5692/ | |
| How do you make a final decision on a DAC @dancarlson10 Are you commenting about using the Cobalt (versus these other dacs high level dacs) in a home speaker system and not with headphones? That is impressive if so!! "Consider the Cobalt by audioquest. Auditioned terminator 4k from ... | |
| Getting lossless Apple Music to my dac Hook an Ipad directly to Dac via USB C output on the Ipad (newer model) Stream high res from Apple Music | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 I second this recommendation! The new Audio Research I-50 is an excellent. $5,500. |
