I have tried in front, etc. I seem to really like them in this location. They do what they need to do, give really nice musical low end and keep themselves out of the way. Rythmik are simply a...

My only issue with HeadAmp was the incorrect misleading information on their website and poor communications. I hear they are very good amplifiers and would have waited for the one if I had not came...

That is cool, and of course you have to get what works best for you. There is definitely some leaking from open backs; for me and my wife it is very minor.

You still have a choice of dynamic...

That is awesome! Synergy really makes a huge difference.

Hey Mike, that sounds absolutely amazing, and congratulations! Far beyond my means but that is irrelevant for this discussion.

I am sitting here listening to my SimAudio ($4500) top of the line...

Stevie Ray Vaughan one step. First time listening to turntable through headphones. Really quite amazing!

This looks awesome... I would be tempted to sell all my gear for one of these, but then again, other than power, mine probably sound better.

I like that their new DAC goes up to DSD512 but I would...

This looks like it must be wonderful. MSB is supposed to be really great gear. If you can afford it then why not.

Two issues for 99.9% of the people.... It is only for electrostatic headphones...

Hmmm Tom... let me think. I got my Hattor about a year ago. I got the Active Tube Stage last fall. A very nice improvement. The Hattor is very open sounding, very detailed, incredible sound...

I think many of us go through the same Tom. Since I jumped back into this amazing hobby I have discovered so many pieces that I never knew existed. I would say half of the companies that are now...

The Hattor has several options on the resistors being used. The AMRG Trans brings the price up to what is also being charged for the tube stage. But it is a huge upgrade from the standard model (I...

These pieces do look amazing, unfortunately they are the exact opposite speaker match then what I have :)... my Maggie's are not only 4 ohm but also 86 db efficiency. They need a little bit of power...

I know my two Rythmik L12's really improve the sound of my Maggie's.

I really enjoy my SimAudio NEO 310LP. It comes in at about $2k, has both SE and Balanced outputs (one of the reason I went with this one was the Balanced outs). Has a slew of settings for both MM...

The headphone amp does look pretty sweat.

You guys are mean :D...

Honestly though, I bet it will be fairly popular for McIntosh. People with a MA252, MA352, or the C8 might be wanting one.

But honestly, the true ugliest thing they...

Not sure on the spinner :).... I would not. I assume people who have the other pieces would be interested in it to complete the setup.

However I would be interested in the pre-amp. I really...

They obviously designed this to go along with the new line of gear that started with the MA252 and MA352. I really don't like this player but honestly I do like the design of these integrated amps...

Sorry, but I like the design (no accounting for taste, right). I really liked the MA252 that I had for a while. I would love a C8, but I am ok for now because I think my Hattor is probably better...

Yea, I saw that. It is also designed in their new styling which I kind of like. The C8 looks like a pretty nice pre-amp. Wondering how the phono stages in it are?

Honestly, Pono was excellent and he deserves a ton of credit! A musician that was/is not all about the money but instead really promoted/promotes quality!

You can once again blame Apple, not Mr....

That is how I always heard that it works, and how it works for me. It is the actual playback engine, what is actually playing the digital files and therefore should interact directly with them. ...

Normally HQPlayer would run on your server along with Roon Core. It can be played by itself but the playback interface is not great. You setup the drivers, filters, and if you want to over sample...

I guess my point was that for most people it is irrelevant if it sounds better or worse on the Extreme. The question is does it sound better, the same, or worse on gear that they might actually use....
