| your impression on esoteric sa-50 I have an SA-50, which I purchased new about a month ago. One of the major reasons I bought it was because of the versatility it offered, serving as both a CD/SACD player and a DAC (with both USB and Digital input). Truly, IMHO, a one box solution... | |
| Help Me Choose Better 5-Channel Amp Another vote for keeping your current amp, and adding a good 2 channel amp to drive you L & R fronts. My experience is that doing this will greatly improve your music, and it will also improve on you HT sounds.Good luck on you search. | |
| Onebox solution with grunt? Esoteric SA-50. | |
| How much better will a preamp be over a processor I agree, a preamp will give you a huge improvement over your processor. | |
| Adding a 2 ch Classe 2200 to Classe 5200 HT amp I'm pretty sure that the 2 channel amp would improve your tunes, but why not an Ayre power amp instead of a Classe. The two Ayre's together seems to me to be the more logical choice. Possibly you can audition both.Good luck. | |
| Would this be much of an upgrade. Bob you are correct about the digital. Very satisfied with that, but wanting to upgrade the 2 channel end. Unfortunately, no space available for another amp, so can't go with a 2 channel amp addition. I'd like to upgrade my amp, but it has to be 5... | |
| Best USB DAC/Preamp Under $4000 New? Look at the Ayre K5ex mp preamp and the QB 9 DAC. The combo may be a little more than 4K,(I see used K5ex's used for around 2,400 here on the gon)but your music will be Killer! | |
| Would this be much of an upgrade. Sorry, the sub is an Outlaw LFM-1EX. Thanks for your thoughts. | |
| First Post, Looking to buy Amp& Pre, $7,000 MDP.....I too have the synchrony ones. I am using an Integra DTC 9.8 for HT with an older B&K 7250 power amp. For 2 channel music, I recently purchased an Ayre K5xe mp preamp (new for #3500) as it has the HT pass through, and I love it combine... | |
| Music File Storage Preference You might also call Sonos support at 800-680-2345 and ask for their recommendations....Sonos customer support is excellent and I'm sure they would be glad to help. | |
| Attn: Ayre v-5xe owners Can anyone comment on the V6 multi channel amp? How does it compare to the V1 and the V5? | |
| Pre/pro upgrade My thoughts are that the Integra is great for HT, however IMO, it falls considerable short in processing digital or analog music. In my journey down the HT/HiFi path, I was initally intrested in HT, however, as I became more involved, music became... | |
| Pre/pro upgrade Integra is great, and I have the 9.8 however, I'd recommend that you step up to Anthem or another higher end brand. As you progress with your system, you will ultimately want better analog DACs. Do it now, and save yourself the future problems and... | |
| Anything like the Ayre CX-7e but with digital in? I've seen it, but haven't auditioned it yet. Very impressive to look at. Appears as solid, hi end construction, weights a ton, and a very nice 3 foot platform. An attractive addition to anyones setup. My hold up here is I feel it offers more optio... | |
| Anything like the Ayre CX-7e but with digital in? I'm looking for a similar unit, and for the same reasons. I want to improve on my existing CD player, and get a better DAC for the music I stream in via Sonus. Right now, the closest thing I've found is the Esoteric SA 50. Any other suggestions fo... |
