Nobody will service the Kremlin with the sanctions.

Well I tried a Brio. I actually got it to distort. Sounds okay with my Harlechs. Interestingly my NAD seems to seem more composed on them. I guess I should probably sell the hawks for a model I can afford to drive. My brio seems to clip sometimes. On my NHT superone speakers the brio seems...

If that's the case wifi would likely be significantly worse.

The router is already galvanically isolated inside with transformers.

WAV and AIFF generally are both uncompressed linear pcm. If you heard a difference they were almost certainly different mixes. FLAC is desirable for a music collection as it's a losslessly compressed format. This means you'll be able to store more music without any quality loss.

if the budget can go there there is the Totem Tribe Tower.

The only possible legitimate use I can think of is using it on a CD

They would be worth it more if they didn't lock down the hardware so much. Unfortunately the oldest of them are a windows xp embedded system without the ability to swap hardware or software.

Someone actually compared them to their ProAc speakers. They said they hold a candle to their Response D2.

I have had success with my NAD c 316bee, Naim 42/140(still not recapped), and Rega Brio. The Mite is far less fussy than the Hawk. Although the Hawk is known to be a pain to match.

Canuck Audio Mart. I would suggest PSB speakers. I currently have a pair of alpha b1 on a 3.5w tube amp. I would stay away from totem unless you have some current from your amp.

I bought mine off amazon. They also sell directly off their website. I have not heard the SuperZero.

Don't forget Melco

I thought Rega was planning on making bespoke stands for the kytes. What happened?

I know I never liked the LS50. Perhaps it will be better with more power though. The cartridge loading should also be considered. If he's got the Brio(2017) I would not expect it to be too flat sounding. Again depending on what Brio it might actually be a step back.
