Updated my amp to this lovely beast.

2018-01-04 10.22.18.jpg

Looking to upgrade my speakers to Technics SB-CS75 and some Technics (Panasonic, really) turntable. The JVC one has seen better days, though trying to refurbish it before binning.

Setup 1
Amp: Naim XS2
Speakers: B&W CM Series
DAC: Chord Qute EX
CD: Marantz CD 5001 OSE
Main Music Source: Daphile Server, based on a J1900 CPU, was a EPOS system I found in the bin which I repaired and modified!
Record: Project Debut and Rega Fono Pre-Amp
TV: Sony 50W829, took me years to get away from a Plasma TV, this was the best TV I could find for black levels, it still surprises me 3 years on, looking to go 4k but been disappointed in the TV's I've looked at so far.
HTPC: Lenovo i5 6500, might get a USB Sat tuner for it...

Large gap where I need to put a stack of Satellite receivers again, sold my VU+ Solo2 and misc devices.

Excuse the mess on the floor, I just dragged a tree through the living room to be put in garden waste!, will get some pictures of the bedroom HiFi at some point.

Most people have tree problems interfering with their televisual pleasure outside due to signal blocking. I cant recall anyone ever having tree problems in the living room :D

I decided to go mess around in the garden with this, was a bit annoyed with the Christmas tree I threw out there a few weeks ago, so dragged it out of here

What’s the Daphile server please?

Is it similar to Roon?

Nice :Y


Raspberry Pi have some very good options, I use a Allo DigiOne dac, that’s plugged in to my maverick d1+ mine had the burr brown Upgrade :eek:

Plus the pi setup is fully customisable, I use moOde.
I've got a Pi Zero W with a JustBoom Amp Zero Combined AMP/Burr Brown DAC in the bedroom on a set of Q accostic 2020i's, that little JustBoom board is mind blowing for the money.

Funny enough I was looking at 1090 colinears to 3D print, I might give it a go over the weekend,
I did have a SDR-Play but sold it, I do have some RTL-SDR devices here, may have to have a mess around.

Do you use Spotify at all?

As @Analoguesat says rig a twig up and join in with the tracking.

We nearly have enough for our own VRS server :-wow
