    Why "High end" exist?

    FrantzM, I would say that you are quite mistaken. Distinguishing differences between 2 images can be a challenge : Colorspace, contrast, light, resolution, sharpness... I'd say there is a lot to deal with (and a lot to be mistaken :-) ). Daniel

    External DAC or not?

    Mitasr, Use a toslink cable to connect the Wiim and the minidsp. The minidsp has 4 channels for output so you will be able to connect both your amp and your sub. Then it is just a quick configuration and you're setup ! Daniel

    Interesting new Cambridge Audio streamers MXN10 and AXN10

    I don't think the MXN10 can trigger an amp. Not an issue for me, but you may have a different opinion on that point.

    A new beginning

    Zillyinc, There is no interest in trying to change the internal clock of the streamer, just loss of time and money, I could choose the same amp if I had the need for a new one. And the WiiM Ultra seems to have quite a nice features list. Maybe have a look at Yamaha amps which are also popular...

    Help choosing column speakers

    These are splendid speakers ! The price is odd though. Double check before anything. Some online shops sometimes try you mix you head with price for a pair or one speaker.... You do not want to receive a single package when you expect a pair or speakers (believe me this is no fun at all)...

    Help choosing column speakers

    Des Esseintes, You need to go in a HiFi store and listen a few speakers in the 1500-2000€ range. You will find that speakers do have their own sound. You may prefer one type over the other. For instance I do not like Sonus Faber that much but you, on the other hand, might find their speakers...

    Advice on new setup. From Audiolab 8200a to Aiyima A07 MAX

    PstrfZ, It seems your amp is given 2 Preamp outputs.... And as far as I understand, you have configured your system to easily switch from one usage to another.... So why not just use one Preamp output from your amp ? Daniel

    If you want, I can update your words to something we both agree on : Some recent tube amps are badly designed and may sound badly. Some others are well designed and sound nicely ! Have a nice day ! Daniel
