Amplification, amplification,  amplification......  It makes no sense to buy reference digital before great amplification, to me anyway.  You already have the room and speakers sorted out.   Digital is pretty good and just getting better every day... 
Replacing Vincent SA 31MK any experience?
Buy a used pre with that cash.   You can buy often something that retailed for  double.   I bought a demo Zesto Leto and it was the best money I have spent on audio in a long time.  Totally elevated my system to next level.  It literally sounded l... 
Deciding Between the Marantz Model 30 and McIntosh MA252
No experience with the Marantz.   By all accounts ts it a nice unit.   I have used the McIntosh.   I like it , some don't like the new form factor.   I though it sounded good,  I have said before that as would buy one for a second room.   I like i...

What is Wrong With HD Radio & Why Aren't HD Tuners Being Made?
I'll take my Magnum Dynalab MD 102 over HD Radio any day.   I have HD in the car and I do enjoy the content of the sub channels .   Honestly the "Radio.com"  channels I play through my Vault 2i don't sound too bad, so I agree with GDH, internet ra...

RME DAC can it control subwoofer output?
There is a high pass and low pass setting in the EQ adj.   I read something about the pro being able to act as a low pass to the sub though the headphone jacks due to the dual DAC.  Not sure how that works with the home version.  Do you need two? ...
