@jafant In response to your question about my systems...

System 1 (main system, with the 2.3s) - this is a combined home theater / 2 channel system.  Focus is more on vinyl, but I also stream here and spin a silver disc occassionally.

System 2 (computer room) - this is where I spend time in the morning, drinking coffee, catching up on emails and other stuff.  It's a near field system.  I primarily play grade records here and catch up on new music releases on Qobuz.

System 3 (home office) - 95 percent of my listening here is to FM radio while I work (news and jazz).  It also has a turntable and a DAC connected to my laptop but these rarely get used.

System 4 (bedroom) - mostly streaming, also listen to headphones.  This is also a combined home theater two channel system.

Jafant,

I'm glad you are finally getting there.

Makes me feel fortunate not to fuss about cables.  Would rather get listening to music faster :-)

CT and Greg - Keep us posted on the DACs. I personally would love to learn how you all view the Benchmark DAC3. It is in widespread use in the professional world and I wonder about opinions of how it compares to the top of the hi-fi world. Any comments and opinions are welcome.

Yes, it has been a fun, long, Audio journey. Reference cabling will tie my system together nicely. Have a good Fall.

Happy Listening!

Good to see you this fine Fall evening. I hope that you are well and the search for Garage/Studio space is fruitful.
Happy Listening!
