GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@kuribo  First, there are quite a lot of happy Ric customers OVER MANY YEARS.  Your insistence on bashing him (with no real proof, I might add) only serves to make YOU less credible. And since you have yet to say that you had an extensive listeni... 
Rogue Dragon VS PS Audio BHK VS Carver 350
@paimei    I saw a Voyager yesterday for $1700! Hurry before he wakes up and increases the price  
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@kuribo  WOW. I can't imagine why you would trash the Peachtree/Voyager amps. I have owned a considerable number of tube, SS, hybrids, I rank the Voyager with the very best of them. I listen to a wide variety of music, and it never disappoints

Rogue Dragon VS PS Audio BHK VS Carver 350
After ~ 1.5 years I am still thrilled with the LSA Voyager GaN 350: MSRP $3000  
Large room with low budget for speakers
Scaena Loudspeakers look and sound amazing  
Need Help: Can't recall which hi-end R2R dac had an optional preamp board?
Thanks guys Yes, it is the Holo Spring  
Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated
Im in the same boat, but yesterday I watched a YT review from PassionforSound, an Auzzie who compared Spring 3 KTE (R2R) to the Shiit Yeggy, but preferred it, even though it isn't R2R. Keep in mind Mike Moffet has a long history in dac design hth  
Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs)
In the last 5 years I have owned quite a few class D amps, the EVS 1200 being the best of them, but when I tried the LSA Voyager 350, I was shocked and remain very happy 1.5 years later  
Internal DAC quality vs external DAC's
Check out the Parasound Hint  
After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same?
High on my list would be the Technics SU-R1000. There are several reviews worth looking up  
How much $$ do bells and whistles add to preamp?
Just watched Passion for Sounds YT video comparing the Spring (sans preamp board) to the Schiit Yggy, which is ~ $1000 less, but he preferred it.  
How much $$ do bells and whistles add to preamp?
Holo (Audio?) Spring KTE ~ $4000  
How much $$ do bells and whistles add to preamp?
Well, as you surmised. no easy answer, or is there? My system is cd only. I have the Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5 (outboard PS) when available MSRP was $1995 + $695. The combo can be found ~ $1000-1200. After 2 years I am still very happy with it, ... 
Just my observation - seems like there is less listed on AG
I stopped listing when AG years ago when they demanded a percentage, so I just checked what their current requirements are, but could not find it. That smells like they're afraid to post it!
