2015 System Upgrades

[KeithR]

So what are you guys upgrading for the new year???

I'm starting out with a new Box Furniture rack:

House addition with a media room

A new acoustically built room for my audio equipment!

I heard there are plenty of stoned bodies in CO.

Hopefully Christian will jump in here because I do believe he has experience with a fair amount of them.

2015 will start out a bit slow as I wait to see what happens with some projected updates on the Meridian MDMS/Sooloos front. There is talk of some software updates along with Tidal integration. I will wait to see and hear if MQA will get any traction. Even without these updates no current products have made me want to move away from MDMS.

I keep watching to see whether relevant music is released in DSD before I walk that path.

One product that might interest me is D'Agostino's planned streaming capable pre-amp. This version will replace the tone control functions with streaming capabilities.

At some point this year I will also send my Opus SC to be updated to Gen5. No rush on that.

I'm considering upgrading my digital front end. Been thinking Berkeley Reference DAC and the Lumin. Mike and Mark have me almost convinced to give the Lumin a try.

I'm trying the Berkley in my system tomorrow. Output via BNC from the Lumin.

Mike-This must be just the top 3 on your list. I think if you listed everything you plan on buying or will buy in 2015 you would crash the host server.

You bet Mike.
