For some of us, less is more. I went from full on separates to a one piece system and couldn't be happier. I sold all my McIntosh separates, and my Bluesound equipment and purchased a Linn MDSM all in one unit. It has everything built into one unit. The only other thing I bought to make it all work was an iPad to use as the interface. I could use the Linn app on my Mac Mini to control it, but prefer the iPad. If I am in the other room I can even use my phone to control all but the TT remotely. I have my TT and my Mac Mini (used as a music server) hooked to it. I stream Qobuz, play any of my 8,000+ ripped songs, and my albums. All without a lot of clutter of cables. Everything but the TT is connected wireless over my mesh router.
Will an Amp change improve my system ?
My system is WiiM pro ( a great device for $149 !) and a Cambridge CXC V2 CD transport for digital input going into a Schiit Yggdrasil+ DAC going to a Schiit Freya+ preamp into a PS Audio S300 amp into Harbeth 30.2 XD speakers. I am considering replacing the S300 with one of the following: PASS XA-25, Coda S5.5, Benchmark AHB2, or tube Primaluna EVO 400, used Rogers EHF-100 or 200, used Luxman MQ 88uc. I like my current system and wonder if an amp change would improve it significantly ?
