Do you use LMS CD player plug in?Digital :
For digital duties I use a Raspberry PI streamer with Volumio installed. This has a 7 inch touch screen with a quick 3D case knocked up by myself.
It has a USB DVD drive connected which is used to rip CD's but I occasionally listened to CD's - works very well.
The PI has an R2-R DAC HAT (as in a board connected directly to the PI) which is superb at what it does.
I have a PI NAS with a 6Tb USB drive attached for streaming (and storing) FLAC files, plus signed up to Tidal and Spotify (for the family) which work either directly from the touch screen or can be managed from a tablet/phone/laptop etc.
Digital is not high in my priorities for music but good for finding new music so I can look to get on vinyl

Is it a hobby or a disease
No - I use Volumio to access the CD drive - I have also subscribed to Volumio (think its £25 per year) so I can use Tidal and also rip CD's

Have you tried Daphile or Vortexbox lately. You can use Tidal and any other service with its LMS server.

I haven't - happy with what I have. Trying to work out what I would gain going to another system and using LMS server?

I think it is Delrin (aka polyoxymethylene).

Amps:
Used as a pre-amp (a brilliant headphone amp but a very good pre-amp) is my Myryad Z40
Doing power am duties is a Pure Sound A30 and I love's it
So I take it the Myryad/Puresound combination is preferable to using the volume control on the A30 alone?
gninnam
Is it a hobby or a disease
To my ears it does, but the A30 only supports 3 inputs and I had 4 and I enjoy using headphones (which I will also show).

I thought it was Delrin but wasn't 100% sure - thanks

Only ever heard this on in the current plinth and I thought it was great.

Thanks.gnninam, hello
Very nice setup! Can you write a few words on how your turntables compare between each other?
Very quick:
ORBE - Great at dynamics and the bass is excellent
SP-10 - Rhythm and pace is to die for and everything seems 'solid'
Can't separate them on sound quality or engaging me and keeping me hooked on what is playing
Both are so enjoyable I will not part with either of them - ever (unless the right amount of pound notes came my way!)

The Orbe platter is made from impedance matched carbon damped acrylic, the same material used on the Gyrodec platter only with much greater mass.
Nice decks btw.

Veeeeery nice. I have a lot of time for Myryad kit, I've been using an MDP-500 (which is supposed to be an AV pre/processor) as a stereo pre for yonks.
