Always fancied trying a cyrus amp, mostly as my older brother had a pink triangle deck with a cyrus two and celestion dl6, that was my introduction to hifi. I think if I wanted to scratch that itch I'd probably be looking for something about £300 second hand. Only thing that puts me of is I know...

Thanks to everyone who has posted their opinions so far, it is much appreciated. Luckily I'm not to far from hifi corner and they are dealers for both Naim and Neat acoustics. So it shouldn't be to much of a problem to set up a demo if I decide to go down the path of changing amps.

After buying neat speakers I've read that naim and neat have good synergy. Currently I use an audiolab m-dac as my dac pre and an 8200p as my amplification, I'm happy with this pairing and the audiolab drives the neats no problem, but could things be better in overall sound quality by switching...

A bargain in terms of price and performance, I have pair and they are an easy listen very balanced. I paid £236 for them, they'd still be a bargain at twice the price.

24/192 is the maximum output from coaxial on the bluesound node.

I do hope they go lossless, the user experience is great. I have Spotify and Qobuz accounts, if Spotify went lossless I'd drop Qobuz and probably still be paying what I can afford. It would be great just to use the Spotify app and just connect to my bluesound node streamer. BluOS is fine with...

Get this and a usb A to B cable and you should be good to go. https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/MK0W2ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-3-camera-adapter https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FWFCVLQ/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21

There is lip sync problems if you don't engage av mode in the hdmi options, that's my experience.
