Have missed this input in the flow ... :-/ this was a really interesting read. Thanks for input! :-) Seems like you've done lots of comparasion? Do you have any preferences feeding your DAC? (optical or coax?) Also regarding your kitchen setup; been thinking about these "AMP HATS" that exist. Could be really interesting solution in different setups. Would love to hear more specific what speakers you're driving with that Amp Hat? I can google for specs myself naturally if you have brand & model. Otherwise if you know power, sensitivity, impedance maybe? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ doggod's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46431 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111846 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
