Sorry, forgot to reply to this, I am not sure I have the skills!

Thank you, I will look into this!

Yes, my main source, or the one used most regularly is the raspberry pi 4 streamer, with ropieee into the DAC via USB. The second source is the CD player, into the DAC via optical. The DAC then goes into the pre-amp via xlr.

I am not sure what you mean? My Cambridge Audio CXC is a transport only. I think I had dismissed this very quickly back when amir reviewed it. I will do a bit of reading, thanks for the recommendation! Understood! I might go this rout at some point in the future, not right now though. That...

Thank you, yes I have wondered about a passive, but I don't have any experience myself, and when looking I could only find subjective stuff. I looked at Khozmo over the last few weeks, but again, I think I would need to import. Ideally I would want something with UK warranty.

Thank you for the replies! Agreed, not about sound quality per se, more about features I think, but ideally would not want a reduction in sound quality. Thanks, the Denfrips looks a nice unit, but not sure I can view easily in the UK. The M66 is interesting, but looking at what I would need, I...

I have been on the look out for a pre-amp for my main system to partner with my NAD M23 power amp, I would be using with two sources, Cambridge Audio CD player and a Holo Cyan 2 DAC. Currently I am using a Topping pre90, which is good, but it was only supposed to be a temporary arrangement, and...

I have a CXN100 and I have had a few emails back and forth with Cambridge Audio support asking questions, I asked about this and got the answer "The CXN100 doesn't upsample any incoming files, so it will output whatever sample rate and signal that is sent to it". I have not had chance to check...

Thank made me smile!

Just a quick update in terms of my pre-amp question, leaving the pre90 in the chain seems to work quite well, I am still tweaking volume levels to get it right. Currently the Pre90 is at -15db, and then the Cambridge Audio sits around 70% volume overall and this gives you day to day levels. I...

Thanks for the reply! This is a good idea, I will try it!

Hello all! I have just purchased a new dedicated streamer for my main stereo, a Cambridge Audio CXN100. I want to use it primarily with Roon (via wired ethernet), Qobuz directly and the odd CD. I have a question about whether to use the CXN as a pre-amp, and other few odd questions too. I have...

I am still enjoying my pre 90, all apart from the remote which is not great. Its quite tricky to line up, and I think, not helped my set-up, as the right hand-side of the pre-amp is mildly obscured by the left speaker, so the signal does not get through. My solution, other than living with the...

Thanks for all the suggestion. I have just been searching through the index, how about Fosi Audio V3? Seems to be around £100. I also like the Loxjie A30 Amplifier at £150, recommended by @Timcognito, this adds more streaming functionality and a remote. I even had a look at the Wiim amp at...

Thanks for the comments all. Monitor Audio Bronze 2, they are about 4 years old I think. I can add a few Denon PMA-520AE - £110 ono, I might be able to get it down a bit. Denon Integrated Amplifier PMA-350 - £60 starting bid Denon Integrated Amplifier PMA-350SE - £20 staring bid Rotel Stereo...

Hi there - One of my children is showing an interest in hifi and I am keen to encourage it. They will need the ability to play CDs in their room. An old CD player I have, along with some smaller speakers currently in my loft, but I don't have an amplifier. Is there any suggestions for a second...

I ended up purchasing a Topping pre90, and run it wtih my topping D90. The M23 is in low gain mode. I have convolution files loaded in Roon from Home Audio Fidelity. There were a few teeting problems, first one was to do with the Topping controller, which I could not get on with, but I ended up...

I am a Roon lifetime user, its been my best hifi purchase I think. There is a trial I think, so you can try before you buy.

That would be great if you could! Thanks for all your hard work @amirm @Archimago did something previously for some context, see here.

I found it interesting to listen to, I thought they were open to the concept of objective reviews rather than shutting it down immediately. They already objectively review TVs, and often discuss calibration etc, and it would be good if this measurement method could make the jump to hifi. Also...
