Never connected with the M2 myself, I have not heard it in a real room setup though only shows and “bad rooms”. M3 on the other hand has always been my favorite and the one that could replace my...

I’m a fan of Shunyata and my system is powered by their products. But an $8k power conditioner that needs a $7k power cord to function well, makes me question if the Everest is really my next step...

In my system is use Kubala Emotion for speaker and interconnects, Apogee (clock) and DH Labs (AES) for digital, and Shunyata for power.

When I get a chance to audition other cables, I always jump...

I have heard each at Axpona, Dealer Stores, and friends homes. Every time I’ve come away with the conclusion that I prefer the M3. I currently have S3’s, and the M2’s would be a better size for my...

I have XA160.8’s with my Magico S3MKI’s and haven’t found a compelling reason to give them up for something else yet.

Congrats on the new preamp. I waited and waited, but the release delays sent me another direction for a preamp.

Looking forward to your updates where it’s characteristics fall (20,30, or XS...

No issues here running multiple endpoints.

“the Nucleus+“ is an indicator to me based on some past experience. I’ve went the NUC/Linux route and it has been very stable.

Another S3 MK1 owner here, and hearing the S3 MK2, M2, and M3 I’d have to go to the M series to consider the upgrade. If you can get the S3 MK1 at a good price, why not move forward and start...

I travel a lot for work, and when away everything gets powered down and then unplugged from the wall on the main system.

Usually takes a day of music playing to get everything back to sounding...

After 28 years together, I know the boundaries I can push and the ones I can't. We both really enjoy music, and there is a stereo in every room of the house. When it comes to "my stereo room", the...

I sense a trip to FL in my future.

Using their Digital cables and have been very pleased with the cost vs performance they provide. Recently tried one as a clock cable and liked what I heard.

Using a Red Wave 6 meter meter cable...

Just inserted the Gigafoil in front of my upsampler and first listen last night was very impressed. I think the effort in solving your networking issues will be rewarded.

I currently use an ASUS...

Gigafoil and ifi supply will arrive next week to feed my dCS Vivaldi upsampler. Unfortunately l'll be in Portland for work :(, and testing will have to wait till next weekend.

Will be using...

Welcome. From Chicago myself and hope to see you at Axpona.

2018 was a year of system updates:

Clearaudio Ovation to a AMG Viella with turbo arm
dCS Rossini to Vivaldi DAC, clock, upsampler
Pass XA100.5’s to Pass XA160.8’s
Grandprix Audio Silverstone...

A preamp is next on my list to pair with my XA-160.8’s and curious how this one compares to the ARC Ref10.

Sorry, didnt mean to derail this exciting news.... I've owned a 2008 M5, and currently have a 2017 M2 Performance Edition (1/150 made). In between there have been a couple 911's in the garage as well...

Some one pinch me cause I must be dreaming... Ouch.. :)

This looks to be the speaker for those of us who:
1. Love the M3, but wondered if they would work in a smaller room
2. Want the M3, but...

Magico A3
Gobel Aeon
ARC 160M

I've had the Pass XA30.5, XA60.5's and current XA100.5's.

For the 30.5 I went to a Pangea AC9SE and was happy with the results vs the stock cord. When I upgraded to the XA60.5's I used a pair of...

Microsoft makes an app for MacOS that you can use to access a windows box. Use it myself to access my win10 pro box and it seems to work well.

I had to make a setup matrix sheet to keep track of all the various upsample settings, filter settings, map settings, and clock dither when I first started listening. It was information overload...

Yes, I may be bias since I have a Vivaldi but I gave the MSB setup a listen at Axpona earlier this year before upgrading from my Rossini and found that it was not for me.

CMS and Grand Prix Audio were the two racks that stood out for me when I was researching racks. My choice boiled down to looks, as either rack was a positive step in performance.
