I have a question that may sound a bit basic, but hey ho. My system is made up of Roon Rock (NUC) MF KW SACD Aurialic Aries G1 Transport Chord TT2 DAC MF KW 500 (Js Audio stage 2) Amp Neat Ultimatum MFS stand mounts I love the sound signature but want to be able to go louder without...

Thanks The raspberry Pi is OK - but Hi Gus Many thanks for the comprehensive reply ... feeling much better informed now. One question ... any experience of the Aries g2 into a Hugo 2?

HI Colin - all makes sense and very much appreciated. One further possibility might be to get the Aries G2, perhaps buy a cheaper DAC for just now (say Qutest), see how it sounds. Leaves more fun later to upgrade DAC. I foolishly showed my hand too quickly in the "how much do you want to...

I'm looking to update my basic Raspberry PI streamer with something a bit more robust. I have in mind an Auralic Aries G1 with a separate DAC. My understanding is the Auralic Vega G1 is effectively an Aries with built in DAC? I'd love someone to confirm this as I see people saying they use an...

Yes he’s matching the loading for me

Hi I would really appreciate some advice on input from the experienced members on this forum. I have a Rega P8/apheta attached to a nac72/nap140 HiCap with Mission 770 speakers. I’ve ordered a Neilgadman 323 card for NAC72 & apheta (1) input - would I have been better buying a standalone phono...

Thanks so much - will have a look for these now

Thanks -I was just reading about the very speakers - will have a look! Currently in lounge (10m x 4m)

I have a Nac72/Nap140/HiCap and some Mission speakers (773). My CD player is a Rotel 991 with Burson V6 vivid opamps upgrade. More often than not though I’m streaming QoBuz via raspberry Pi into Burson Audio Swing (vivid ops amps again). I feel I could do with some better speakers and happy...

Thanks - any experience with a audiolab m dac plus or even a 2nd hand Hugo 1?

Hi Once again thanks. I think, in reality that’s where I am now. The TV has built in apps like Spotify and can play music from my NAS as it’s connected to my home network (Playing from the NAS is a bit clunky from the TV). The TV has coax and optical out that I have coonected to my cheap...

Dear all Thanks for the advice. My (perhaps ilinformed) plan had be to use the dac as a hub for a few digital sources - pc (with NAS), Android Sony TV that runs Spotify and can link to my NAS & and perhaps the Rotel SACD -Player. I have been playing with a £100 Topping DAC - which sounds...

Hi no just for the DAC Thanks!

Hi Just new to this formum and looking for some advice. I have a Rotel 991 CD player, with Naim nac72/Hicap/Nap140 with mission 773 speakers. Was wanting to attach my nas (synology) to the system and add a Decent DAC for up to ~£700 (for the dac). Any experiences/ advice much appreciated.
