Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?
You could try connecting it using the high level input.

Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?
Just an FYI, EverSolo DAC-Z8 is just a DAC, not a streamer, but it should serve well as a DAC.
What would be wrong with using that DAC? Seems like a well engineered DAC with an ES9038PRO chip.... -

Re: X350.8 or X260.8?
Thanks for the replies, good information from that Pass article. This would be for the Magico A5 speakers, low listening levels most of the time and I am somewhat concerned about the heat.

Re: Transferring Ripped CDs From An External HD To Roon Nucleus
If the drive is attached properly and you go to Settings > Storage > Add Folder, then your drive should show up on that screen and you should be able to choose any folder from that drive.

Re: Magico A5’s Arrive!!!!
Can anyone recommend an amplifier for the A5s, or a whole system, digital only? Budget is less than the cost of the speakers so let’s say 20k max for a streamer, DAC and amp or an integrated system.

Re: Magico and class D amp
And Devialet definitely sounds interesting although then I might want the 440 or 1000 but that gets expensive, could always start with 220.

Re: Magico and class D amp
Gryphon 300 looks good although I’d probably choose Boulder 866 over it because of its streaming capability, not sure how much heat the Gryphon puts out.

Re: Magico and class D amp
I am considering Devialet 220 as well but I’m wondering how its performance would compare to the NAD M33. I like the features of M33 more, just not sure if Devialet would sound better.

Thanks, I came across that list before but most of these have no or low power amps, Linn has an option of adding some amplification to it.
