I received my TB10D ($60 Amazon Cyber Monday) and my third WiiM Mini ($80 Cyber Monday), and hooked them up to my 2004 NHT SB3’s that I haven’t used since receiving my BMR Towers. All I can say is I’m incredibly impressed about the power and subjective sound quality for the money. I can’t tell a...

Yea, I’m curious about this as well. I was under the impression that the internal DAC really is fairly decent, and assumed if I wanted a “significant” upgrade I’d be spending in the $500+ territory to make it “worth it”. Saying this as I am highly skeptical I would notice this difference. If a...

I guess a flex makes the most sense to me. As above, had a pretty decent DAC, DSP (Dirac if you want it), and can stream via bluetooth or just buy a WiiM Mini streamer and connect via optical or USB. There’s plenty of pre-amps that will work fine for your purposes. Topping Pre90 is a very nice...

Ahh, that explains it. I am in Chicago/USA, so looking for something more local. Also, just a friendly FYI, the forum rules state you must place a "requested price", along with where you are willing to ship, etc...

Where are you located? What is the asking price?

Sold out again.

I understand what you mean, thank you. Flex is starting to look like a really good option.

My current (technics from the 80's I think... I def will be upgrading this within a year) has no internal phono stage. I already have an old Arcam (1990's I think) pre-amp with a phono stage that I can use in the meantime if I end up going with a table that has an internal phone stage.

Yes, thanks, that is helpful! Yea, I meant I need a phono stage so need a pre-amp regardless. That's a fair point regarding the TV, I really don't care much about ultra high fidelity from that output as long as my CD player and bluesound aren't limited, which they wouldn't be since they can be...

Only problem is that I still need a pre-amp for the turntable still. And SPDIF splitters I thought limit the bit rate?

Ah hah... yes... of course it will. I am currently using an AVR so hadn't had it wired up that way, but previously did. So that's one part solved. Still technically have two many digitals for the Topping: TV to pass TV/Xbox/Switch Bluesound CD player

Hi All, ** If someone knows of a separate thread that outlines how I should go about solving my question, please point me to it, apologies if this is an unnecessary thread. ** I will be obtaining the BMS Towers soon after running NHT bookshelf's for about 20 years and finally having the...
