Buchardt Anniversary 10 powered monitors with Purifi woof, new tweeter and DIGITAL amps!
Will you be modding the plate amps? ;) thanks for letting me know about these, ric   
Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated
Audial S5 is a great multibit non oversampling dac using the tda1541a chip.  Great non bright treble.  Perfect synergy with my bliesma beryllium tweeters  
Nativ Audio Streamer
I've been waiting a few years for a nativ wave dac and pulse power supply.  They responded to my emails with an office closed due to covid auto response.  I've given up hope :( 
One year down, two to go. What's the longest you have saved for one component?
6 months for my upcoming selah speakers :) 
Class D is just Dandy!
Listening99 the criticisms I saw of the vtv amp were just nitpicking.  Their prices are the best, they use nice thick cases sourced from Ghent and it’s in the USA so no customs worries.  It’s a good deal.  If you’re worried about pcb and wiring la... 
Tweaks - An Honest Discussion
The only tweak I've heard a big difference from was putting the isoacoustic stands under my bookshelf speakers.  Big improvement..  
Nativ Sound Vita
I'm waiting for my nativ wave dac and pulse power supply.. it's been promised to ship soon so many times but still more delays :(   
Recommnedation for the BEST SOUNDING integrated amp up to $3500
Another recommendation for the Kinki Studio EX-M1.  I cycle gear thru my system a lot and this has stayed.

Nativ Sound Vita
can you describe how the Nativ Wave and with pulse psu compares to any other dacs?  Looks like the ML 585 is pretty expensive comparitively.  mine is supposed to ship in a couple weeks after the next firmware update 
Kinki Studio EX-M1
My dac has 2.5VRMS output and my speakers are 90db sensitive.. I usually listen to music around 10-15 during the day and 3-4 volume late at night..  For movies 15-25.  low gain enabled.  I agree there's no loss of detail or quality even at volume ...

Kinki Studio EX-M1
ocd hifi guy's recent video showing the kinki powering the magnepan .7 speakers with zero distortion even with volume at 100% has me considering them.. I was kind of long term planning on something like spatial m3 turbo s but the magnepan are also... 
Kinki Studio EX-M1
You have to ask for a custom preamp bypass rca input when you order.. I think it adds $100 to cost?  Very reasonable 
Kinki Studio EX-M1
yup!  Time to put the top back on and carry my old amp to the giant pile of unused amps in my closet :PHere's a sexy pic of the amp with no top on.  btw opening it is tricky, ask for help if you need to for some reason.  There's nothing inside to ...
