1: turns on amplifier
The rest is my pc, which has internet streaming and gets turned on anyway.
the dac is always on.
Passive preamp has a relatively static setting.
Lots of analog, but I rarely bother.
simple is best, less is more. Less hardware, simpler hardware..is more sound quality. always. Thus: startlingly lifelike sound that is monumentally captivating in every single note. Forever. It has never failed to do this all important thing, in over a decade. But, it's my dac, our cables, our preamp, our speakers, our acoustics.
No twitchy twitchy, no ritual, no complexity, just tunes.
I had 6/7 channel surround by the mid 80’s, and by 2000-2004, was running highly customized CRT projection HT. one of the top projection systems that was in existence as a home or pro CRT projection set up. Easily in the top 10.
twitchy twitch.
No more twitch, just tunes.
Less is more. The physical realization of Goldberg-gedanken is not the way to go, but one generally has to do it -before one realizes...that there’s nothing there.
