Sweet Allen! I may have missed this elsewhere, but, will you be streaming via NAS or via transport/USB?

Streamer all the way, Michael. I really believe that's the way to go for digital, and reviews of the C1 suggest that's it's best interface.

Agree on it being the way to go. I believe we're seeing the early stages of mass migration. Exciting long weekend for you!
 
Allen, get ready for a very serious upgrade! Enjoy and we're all waiting to hear your impressions. And regarding the comment on hot environments, the A1 is always stable with a temperature gauge operating at all times(visible on the front display); this is an incredibly well designed amplifier....
 
Thanks, Mark and elegy! I've never been so excited about two boxes in my life before! I really think these are special. Can't wait!

Elegy, curious, what's your first name?
 
With A1, don't worry about heat.
This is not heating machine.
And you can see its working temperature at front display.
Sound is great without heat!
 
Allen sorry for the late introduction, my name is Serge, nice to meet you. BTW how is your new CH stack holding up?

Welcome to AS, yonjay!:hi:

Do you happen to own any CH gear, the A1 in particular?

Thanks, Joe & Paul! It's sweet gear! If you like the Job amp, you will LOVE this gear, the A1 amp in particular!:P

Serge, very nice to meet you, too.:hi:

I actually haven't had a lot of listening time due to ailing father-in-law, hospital, yadda yadda yadda, so no full report yet. But from I've heard already, I'm absolutely loving it! More in a few weeks time after I get some more listening time in!
 
Allen,
Sorry to hear about your father-in-law. Hope things improve for him and your family.
Re: CH, congrats on the arrival. Not sure if you've already set up the c1 for streaming or if you're doing coaxial for now but even that is amazing. Was listening to Daughter's if you leave cd and a BIS cd recording (Suzuki Cello) this AM through coax. Looking forward to your impressions of the A1. I'm sure Gideon will offer whatever setup support required but feel free to pm me if you'd like re: c1 settings. I benefitted from both Gideon and Loris' (of CH) advice when updating the firmware.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the sentiments, appreciate it.:heart:

I used the C1 as streamer the minute I turned it on. I do use Coax to feed MOG from my Sonos player, but streamer via Ethernet board is the primary mode. Using Synology's own DS Audio app and UPnP server. The combo is solid, not great, but it does recognize high bit rate flac files, which has been awesome. It doesn't do DSD, though, so will need to upgrade to Minim server for that. I'm in no rush.

I saw your post on WBF about Zellatons. Thinking about a pair?:P
 
Cool! Good to hear you're streaming already! You're clearly way more proficient than me in the nas domain so i may be contacting you for advice :)
Zellatons are def on my radar but not in the near future unfortunately. Pretty content with the Amadis and i've some tweaking on the RtR side to take care of first.
 
Feel free to contact me, Chris. Synology made it pretty easy. With the newer DSMs it looks like minim server comes bundled as a package, so you can stream DSF files pretty much out of the box. Unfortunately my NAS is so old I can't upgrade to the newer 5.0 DSM, so I think I have to load minim server manually or get a new NAS (with better cpu, memory, etc, which will help in general).
 
For the CH fans.

I will be swinging by their HQ today to listen to their gear in the newly setup demo room with Stenheim speakers. if you have any particular questions for Florian, etc, let me know by PM.
