I had a Mojo one and got rid of it for several reasons. First the terrible mini usb connection should not be on a quality dac. It made portable use impossible. As a home dac connected to an integrated amp I did not like that it had to be charged and adjusted. For home use, I like a dac that has...

I like Schiit gear. I have a Jotenheim 2 headphone amp, Bifrost 2/64 DAC and a Lokius EQ. Also a Rega fan. When I moved I gifted my Rega Brio R amp to a friend.

This year I moved from Alaska to Thailand. I had to get rid of all my years of gear, 4 full systems with dacs, cdp etc. Sadly had to give up on my beloved Sonneteer Orton. One turntable and 4 pair of speakers and 3 subwoofers all gone I just shipped one amp and 2 sets of speakers. For this...

Same for me for pop. I listen to new jazz and blues. I subscribe to 4 jazz magazines then to the streaming service to listen to what I read about. Then I buy the music I really like. Funny, similar to back in the day before cd, I would to the used record store and try out music like I do now...

Interesting thread. It does not apply to me because there are no repair techs within many thousands of Kilometers from me. It seems that there is less repair of all things, eg household appliances when it is cheaper to replace it.

The first reason that streaming is not a complete solution for many people is that there are huge gaps in the library. Often I look at an artists discography, for example on Allmusic website or a book or magazine then go to a streaming service to hear an album I read about and is not online. Of...

That is great to hear. I was going to get it just for the convenience.

Thanks. Good to hear that you like the Innous. I plan on getting the Innous LPS as it is highly recommended by the dealer (Border Patrol sells Innous) as well as by the reviewers. So much so that one review on Darko blog says it is the difference between needing an outboard dac and using the...

I have always avoided involving the computer in hifi music and would never have copied a cd if they had not come out with cd player that automatically burns the cd without you using a computer, except the mobile device as a remote.

Interesting thread. I will put SVS on my short list. I unwittingly bought an original pair of Rogers LS3/5a new back in medieval times just for a portable 3 piece system with sub because I moved around in my single days. So much other gear has come and gone except those Swisstone Rogers. Maybe...

Since I got a Bluesound Vault, ie a cd burner with hard disc/nas, and streamer in one, I don't see the need to handle the cd every time. Just play it and it is automatically in the nas. I am so fond of this that I will get a better one, ie the Innous ZenMini. I will keep one cd transport for...

I have a Belles Aria integrated amp that is very good. It has a good headphone amp too.

5 integrated amps in use in various rooms. With every upgrade another room gets an old one. Sonneteer Orton, my favorite, in my music listening room (called guest room by the wife). Belles Aria 2d favorite for sound, favorite for features. Living Room, main house. Good headphone amp onboard...

Haider. Thanks for the update. Good luck.

The Orton is still the best amp that I have had. Much thanks to Art K for recommending it and sending me to his local dealer who had one at the time. I would have bought an Alabaster as well but for no remote. So I got a Belles Aria instead. I still give the edge to the Orton but the Belles...
