Re: Another big bad ass amp comes to Suncoast Audio
This is why I think we in Oz (and other similar countries) are better off because we have 230V or 240V standard supply voltage. Same power draws less amps than in 110V countries. What's next?...

I think that streaming with the Aries G2.1 to the Tambaqui is better than direct to the Tambaqui and using it as a Roon end point. Not much in it though. I have ethernet to the Aries, I don't find...

I will also add that the Lumin app will control Auralic devices and play files as well. Not that I need it, as Lightning DS is very good, but it’s an option

Hi SRC666
Apologies for the double post, but I didn't quote the context. I'm interested to know if you upgraded for the Vega G2 and to what?

Re: Preamplifier for X260.8 Monoblocks
I certainly hope so. I waited four months for the X260.8’s. The XP22 was allegedly going to be 3-4 weeks in mid-June, it’s now been over three months. Maybe it’s on a slow boat to Oz! 🤣🤣
