Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure

@david_ten

I will be auditioning a Playback Designs MPD-8 Dream DAC in March.

And sometime April/May I will audition the Magnepan LRS speakers driven by the VR L2iSE.

I’ll also be adding some room treatments in incremental stages.

And I’ll continue to work with the Decware Zen Triode 25th Anniversary Edition, rolling a few more tubes and experimenting with it’s various settings.

And, as mentioned, I will probably add a Cube Audio 10" woofer.

But mostly, as always, discover new music. Such as Jan Lisiecki’s Chopin’s Nocturnes (DG) reviewed by Alex Ross in this week’s New Yorker. Listening now through the Enleum 23R. Delicious.

@stephendunn  Exciting times ahead.

+1 on the Playback Designs MPD-8. It will be a very interesting comparison with your TotalDac.

I'll give Nocturnes a listen. Thanks!

I recently added the Taiko Audio SGM Extreme server/player to my system.

Thank you Mike Lavigne @mikelavigne for your help, without which it would not have happened; and for your support along the way.

A major shout out to Charles @charles1dad and Lalit @lalitk for letting me run a number of server options by them AND for their advice on how to best move forward with my server choice.
