New HT/2CH room
I’m gonna try using the short wall. Need to get a TV in there also. That would leave me room behind maybe able to still use 7.1 for my HT.  
New HT/2CH room
mahler123: for now okay with my sources. Looking for some kind of guidance on speaker seating placement. tony1954: I believe the speakers will be on the long wall, but nothing is set in stone. If I put them on the short Wall I guess that would gi... 
Question on phono input noise levels
I know this is a late post. Put did you try running a ground cable from the TT to the P5/6 phono ground. Or just getting a stand alone phono amp and running a ground cable to the P5/6 chassis? I had a hiss and hum problem with my P6 so I  ran a gr...

Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use
Sorry I ment to post this earlier. I was actually using an older RCA cable I had laying around for the DACs I was trying to the RP-1(I had a new BlueJean cable on the way). So I swapped out the cables from my phono amp to the RP-1. OK now I can he... 
Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use
I’m sorry I made a mistake. I heard no difference between the Schiit Bifrost original model and the Bluesound Vault 2  DAC. NOT the Emotiva. I did hear a difference with the Topping D90SE. I’m guessing there’s not much difference between the Bifro... 
Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use
Added the Topping D90SE, hard to put what I hear or don’t hear into words. I guess you can say it seems pretty neutral with all kinds of music (at least the music listen to). I especially notice when I listen at louder levels. Got a GREAT price on... 
New preamp or up grade my cartridge and or phono amp?

Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use
Just wondering if my speakers could be the limiting factor here?  They are not very efficient AV123 Strata Mini's.  
Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use
No, jbuhl. Before the RP-1 the DAC from the Oppo 105 was an improvement from a Pioneer Elite rcvr on board DAC a Cambridge DAC magic then a Sherbourn PT-7030 preamp on board DAC and a Schiit Bifrost original DAC, in that order. After replacing the... 
Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use
I am using BlueJean Cables throughout (speakers digital and RCA). I even switched from optical to coax out on the vault. Still can't really hear a difference. Let me correct the part about can't hear a difference. I can hear a slight difference n...

I am using BlueJean cables throughout (speaker, sub, coax/optical and RCA)  
Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use
The difference between the Emotiva XMC-1 in Reference mode and the RP-1 WAS IMMEDIATELY apparent. A friend of mine compared the Vault DAC output to Oppo 205, he also didn't notice much of a difference we have the same speakers and sub. Maybe I nee... 
New preamp or up grade my cartridge and or phono amp?
I purchased a Rogue RP-1 (thanks Mike/chedga, great guy would buy from him anytime, he even included a pair of Philco 1956 NOS tubes-haven’t tried them yet), and borrowed a Schiit Bifrost 1. Loving my 2 channel audio even more. My daughter got me ... 
New preamp or up grade my cartridge and or phono amp?
I'm probably going to go with a Rogue RP-1 and Schiit Bifrost 2 DAC.  Thanks everyone for the suggestions and preamp info
