Time for me to chime in- I have just moved and need to rebuild my system in my new home. The components are locked down- the challenge for 2025 will be the acoustics of the new room coupled with speaker placement. 

Schiit Loki Max EQ

My system is set in my new room, added 2 GIK absorbing panels. I'm set. My new room is somewhat larger than my old listening space and has a higher ceiling. One notable change is that my streaming previously was via an Ethernet connection; now it's via wifi, and I'll be damned- the wifi works flawlessly and might even sound better that the ethernet. 

I think for the rest of the year it's going to be looking for new music. 

Zavato …congratulations. Enjoy your new space!

To expand on the previous post I had 11 zones in my home with either two or 5.2 channel video/audio and hopefully sometime around june I will get to move back into my home and begin refurnishing it with a/v gear for those 11 locations. My expectations are fluid with some openness to modifying those areas with more suitable equipment and source material. Not necessarily more expensive, but just more suitable for the application. I am rethinking the whole house and hopefully going to end up with a more suitable setup for the way we live. Many things are being considered. Its gonna be a busy and involved experience.
