Bluesound Vault 2 now or wait for CES2018?
Waiting for the next thing is a never ending game in this modern world. For such devices I prefer to have my own hard drive externally. Unless you have no way to rip cds on your computer, try a Node2 and hook an external usb drive or have is strea... 
Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed?
In my small home studio I use Mogami GOLD balanced monitor, midi and mic cables. I thought about trying Mogami's on my main home system as well since they sound so nice and are quiet as a mouse. Pretty much BlueJeans cables in main home system exc...

Since the Freya is basically a passive preamp and I believe the active stage is low gain, you may want to take a look at this. Before buying something much more expensive. Check out the reviews of the Job225 since this is basically a smaller watt ... 
Looking for a good DAC under $500

Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ?
Uncola.....was it the fact that the heat became unbearable in the room or the fact you were worried about overheating the amp itself? I just can’t see how an amp can overheat the room with heat.  
Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ?
I would think as long as you have the amp on a simple floor amp stand you would be fine.   
Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed?
I’ve heard numerous times “your system is only as good as the weakest link”in many of the high $ systems, the material ( music) one listens to is actually the weakest length. Over at Computer Audiophile, people debate the merits of $5000 usb cable... 
Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ?
The J2 and F7 are the two I am considering. 
Thoughts on my New Rogue Rp-5 Preamp
Theres a nice FW J2 listed here. I wish i could swing it right now. My business starts slowing this time of year :( 
Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ?
Thats not that hot imo. The way the op was looking for battery powered amps, I was thinking the J2 was burning down the house 
Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ?
How hot does the J2 get? 
Thoughts on my New Rogue Rp-5 Preamp
