PrimaLuna EVO 400 or Raven Audio Blackhawk integrateds?
The only problem I see with the raven is not enough power for the Focal 1038Be. I second  mattmiller and speedbump. Get something that can handle those speakers.  
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
New KEF connect app for the new wireless version 2 only. Note: KEF Connect is only compatible with KEF wireless speaker products using the W2 platform. For earlier platform products (LS50 Wireless/LSX), please use KEF Control and KEF Stream. 
A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About
You're not going to find honest physics on this forum to much hokey subjective nonsense. Cables resting on little cups or balls every so many feet has audible differences to laying on a carpet? If it wasn't so sad it would be hilarious.

What are you using now? 
Msb dacs why not alot of postings
Nothing in music that isn't in a 32 test tone that sweeps all frequencies audible to humans. There is nothing that humans hear that can't be measured. Time to get out of the dark ages. Proclaiming you trust your ears forgetting your eyes moves not... 
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
No idea about if the app will be able to work with the old version but they added airplay and the new ones will only have one app, I guess the old version there were two you could use?  
Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not
cd318,  interesting as usual. I've been reading some old papers on the evolution of BBC monitors from the 50's through the 80's. The designers and engineers had to argue with the top dogs trying to build state of the art and best sounding speakers... 
Msb dacs why not alot of postings
Only if he heard a difference between DACs without knowing which was playing and could pick it out better than chance. Then it might be of some value otherwise it's useless info. 
Help needed finding an integrated amp which has a streamer and DAC included.
NAD M33 not sure about roon. 
Question about length of SPDIF COAX interface cable length
Doesn't matter toss a coin. 
Frustrated McIntosh Owner
Not with McIntosh but with a manufacturer of speakers who said they are way behind because of the virus. If that's the case they should have been upfront in the beginning. 
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
Looks very good in the listening window but probably will get distortion in the bass when pushing them a bit but it is a bookshelf so that's to be expected. Nice improvement on the old model especially the wireless.  
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
Maybe you've seen this but here's KEF white paper on both the meta and wireless.https://us.kef.com/pub/media/wysiwyg/ls50/20-KEF-LS50-Collection-WhitePapers.pdf 
PS Audio Direct Stream DAC w/Roon Nucleus + vs. Auralic Vega G1
The most important part of auditioning DACs if at all possible,  do so without knowing which one you're listening to so you choose with your ears not your eyes or notion of if it costs more it must be better. Well designed DACs whether R2R discret... 
PS Audio Direct Stream DAC w/Roon Nucleus + vs. Auralic Vega G1
That mainly has to do with vinyl distortion which is considered pleasant to the ear. Some like it, I personally don’t I like accurate reproduction. What would help if you find digital fatiguing is EQ. You would probably notice more difference than...
