  1. I believe that would depend on the DAC used. For instance, my Raspberry pi uses DAC +, whereas my Node uses the internal DAC. I haven't spent enough time with the Node or comparing the 2, but i would be interested in seeing how much better it could get with an external DAC. Either way both sound good. If you are looking for a low cost entry, the Raspberry Pi is a great option, and there are many quality DACs to choose from.
  2. If you are looking for some reading on the subject, this a good thread that helped me get to where I am.
  3. I purchase a lot from HD Tracks. https://www.hdtracks.com/ I store the media on a media server and stream via ROON. https://roon.app/en/
  4. I use that same DAC, yes it's good, hard to beet U.S. made build quality and sound at that price.
  5. Seems to good to be true. If true, nice deal for someone. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/Pyizo5MBDzYbNbg9/?mibextid=kL3p88
  6. Beautiful unit, good luck with sale.
  7. My first Klipsch experience that wowed me was listening to Frankenstein by Edgar Winter Group on a friends Cornwall's at around 115db. That got me hooked, from there I purchased Klipsch Heresy Is and the first album I can recall listening to was Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon. That being said, I would recommend that.
  8. I'm not saying they're flying off the shelves, but for the price of those things, they have sold more than most ever thought they would. Maybe it's time to start another one of those threads that @Coytee had going, it listed all the UG Jubilee owners, their location and if they'd offer demos.
  9. McIntosh mc7106 comes to mind, but I am sure there are many class d amps that will fit the bill. Here is an example of fine 6 channel amp from Parasound with 6 channels at 80 watts operating in class A/AB. https://www.ebay.com/itm/355523573667?itmmeta=01HRT20ATY82AVAZ9GA5JTDW5Y&hash=item52c6db37a3:g:4McAAOSw5Utl6f2G&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwB0hw7GIUy6s%2FG1uBdctQaPpKdWItjdoQxoeGeUbc45fUG%2FIPaN8cuH0EZWdBxYNNAgfnqYXx1mZAoTe1gy9YsBvRjpcFE5eB2r67%2BY3zY5bbogmkpW%2F36yFJo8QtYXv0ywcpgAj5fHCjJ9lZtBLah5iBW1zbYNp3X%2B5RM%2FTVsuVyWPDpoHqqkTcutJgKExbo340uJVom40FrKVC2CKFKMiUdKHmfVqIZBLAjTR2UXysdbGXCfMJDYpIyR9D01M0RA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9KtgcLGYw Bottom line, this can be achieved many ways at a low cost. As someone has mentioned, this ain't your grandpa's Lascala. I think there are a lot of those that are willing to pay to achieve audio nirvana, just look at the HJ sales. There are a lot of us already using multiple amps for bi amp/tri amping.
  10. If it's 10 years old, I think you could do better/newer for under $1000.00. Keep your eyes out, ask around, sometimes someone is sitting on something they are thinking of getting rid of. Case in point, I started asking about Arcam, Anthem, and Marantz and was offered my AV7704 for $1000 shipped, and it was pretty much used for a demo and it great condition. I found mine on Audioholics, also check AVS forum.
  11. I'll take 3 upgrade kits...please. Even though buying new Lascalas or Khorns aren't in the playing cards...yet. I love it and am excited for the change. I find it funny how some of the naysayers talk trash on Klipsch products, then these new ones come out and they're in awe, nicely done. Thanks for sharing and taking the time for a right up.
  12. Is that the newer one (not sure if model number identifies the age)? Marantz 8K UHD AVR SR5015-7.2 Ch (2020 Model), Dolby Virtual Height Elevation with Built-in HEOS and Alexa Compatibility, Bluetooth Streaming & Home Automation (Discontinued by Manufacturer) https://a.co/d/a4eatnU
