My endgame system I think

Good day everyone. I wanted to share what I believe is my endgame 2 channel system and say thank you to all of the members here for all of the advice I’ve gotten and read. It’s a simple system but the forum has  guided me tremendously with my decisions. A special thank you goes out to Duke of audiokinesis  (who I met at Axpona was very gracious with a few questions I had) for recommending Jeff at HDacoustics to design my room that I built while the speakers were being built. I hope to have many years enjoying my new system. Thanks again everyone !

@ronboco Great choice with the Rockport Aviors.  I own Altair speakers and they're my end game speakers.  I don't understand the purpose of the Bluesound Node.  I used to own the Boulder 866 and in addition to being a great amp/preamp, the Streamer/DAC section is certainly superior to the Bluesound Node. If you plan to add an Ethernet filter, you may want to consider the  EtherREGEN unit.  It made a noticeable improvement to my system for network streaming music.

Thanks! I’ll bet the Altairs sound sweet! It was my understanding from my dealer that the 866 doesn’t have a built in streamer as I asked same question why the node would be needed. I didn’t see a built in streamer mentioned on boulders website either maybe I just missed it.

Is the ether REGEN for local files or do you stream Qobuz /Tidal and that was also an improvement ? Thanks
