Absolutely beautiful setup. I’d love to hear the current non class D Rowland gear. I’m sure it’s fabulous. Jeff always made awesome gear.

Re: New System Updates!
Thanks, Guys!
Still burning in the DV2 and amplifiers.
I've had the Evolution Acoustic speakers for about 5 years and love them.
Only thing is I doubt I will ever be able to sell these 600lb monsters - just so heavy!!

You will need to find a single man to sell them to or a man who has his own private listening room. Originally Posted by FRO

Re: New System Updates!
Thanks, Guys.
The bottom units under the Rowland amps, are Rowland power supplies that convert AC/DC.
This attributes to the amps dead quiet background!
Have to say the quality of workmanship in these are better than anything I have seen - simply incredible!!
The DV2 s great too - there is no fiddling around with options and filters, etc.
Simply plug in your digital devices and go - really simple and user friendly.
The digital volume control is also super transparent.

Re: New System Updates!
Wow. Simply beautiful set up! Enjoy in good health. I find it wonderful, the Oppo, at less than the cost of a power cord, makes the cut. One of the best values that used to be made. I loved mine...
