Neutral power amp recommendations?
Those are important pieces of info I left out! Solid state, I’m really not looking tubes. Price would be $30k or less.- vermaxis

Neutral power amp recommendations?
Hi everyone, I’m back after my DAC journey post and I’m now looking for a power amp recommendation. In short, I’m looking for something more neutral without being cold or analytical. Important to have a low noise floor and to sound good at low volumes (in my experience some amps need to be...- vermaxis

Oh, Boy, does Roon suck big time! The high-end audio world needs a better solution!
+1 for Innuos. Sense is so intuitive and easy to use and Innuos updates and improves it regularly. And based on my listening comparisons, I prefer Sense to Roon. I’ve tried it several times over the course of a year-plus timeframe and every time I could identify the Roon ‘sound’ that I didn’t...- vermaxis

DAC shopping and completely lost in the reviews
I was able to audition the Aqua La Scala and I was surprised at how non-fatiguing it was. Any recordings with harsh edges, sizzle up top, etc. sounded like they were just filed away. Really magnificent. However, I felt that it was not that engaging. Don’t know why but I definitely felt it when I... -
Innuos Pulsar ????
No, all of the FLAC files that I compared were redbook, nothing hi res. When I had my dCS Rossini APEX, I noticed a distinct difference using the Rossini to stream Qobuz via the network vs. playing the stored FLAC files on my NAS. Much like my experience with the Pulsar, I also preferred the...- vermaxis
