Interesting stuff! That DAC of yours continues to impress. An MQA module is available from Metrum; I've often wondered about adding one to my Adagio.

I’ve got three Bluesound Node 2i’s, all with the latest greatest power board and power supply upgrades. They sound good, but my CD Players wipes the floor with them. Just better sounding all round. Oddly, in each Hifi system, they all feed into the same DAC (Topping D90, D90SE, and D70 Velvet). So ...

I own a 6000CDT too. Excellent transport. I wish it had BNC out though. If you're worried about 75 ohm standard, then don't sweat too much about it. Impedance is a moving feast, to an extent. I'm sure you're absolutely right Paul; I always worry that adapters just aren't quite the same. Even though...

It is a beautiful thing!

Yes, that's the pair to go for. Simply wonderful. I've never heard better SQ from a headphone system. I don't want anyone to die of shock, but I feel that my DAC, HPA, and source search has come to an end. I am super happy with those components and they all work beautifully together. With respect to...

Another pair of Melz 1578 arrived today from Russia. I'm just going to pop them in the MZ3 with the GEC A2900. Supposedly the absolute best combination...

I decided to pop the Pi2AES 2.0 together this evening after dinner. https://i.postimg.cc/KYVwR6X0/20230719-233307.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/j579NMtt/20230719-233318.jpg So, I've just spent the last hour or so listening to a variety of music streamed from my local library or the internet using Roon.

Let me have a listen to the Pi2AES 2.0 for a few weeks and I'll send it over for you to try.
