I am an anxious audiophile. I am always wondering about how I can improve my system or if I have made good choices with the kit I have already purchased. Although I do enjoy that aspect of the hobby, all the tinkering.
Previously to finding this site, I would generally use subjective reviews of equipment, I would then try any interesting kit in the shop, and then, if possible, at home. However now there is a third aspect, the measurements. This is great, however I am not sure about all my kit, as I have only seen manufacturer measurements for some of it which makes me unsure about whether I could do better.
My current system
Server - Roon on a intel NUC i5 – music files predominantly FLAC served up via ethernet (and qobuz subscription)
Streamer – Raspberry pi 4 running ropieee, stock psu
DAC – Topping D90, stock psu – USB input. Sharp filter. XLR out (Mogami 2534 with neutric connector cable).
Amplifier – Musical Fidelity M6si, balanced input. Belden 5T00UP Speaker Cable 10AWG
Speakers – Kef Reference 1.
Room correction –
www.homeaudiofidelity.com – filters loaded into Roon.
So, any thoughts on how to improve the system? I have been wondering about class d amps, so I have been reading the Audiophonics HPA-S400ET review with interest.
Thanks for reading and for any comments.
