Hi Everyone,
So I am kind of stumped. I was fairly set on picking a Hegel 190v or Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 or a NAD M33 or a Rose RS520 (ext. phono stage). i have some BluOS items in the house, mostly for HT. Requirements is for the device to have built in Roon / DAC, 150 to 200wpc area (most due to the size of the room and very old construction, onboard MM phono stage would be ideal. I have ripped my SACD collection into DSD files. I think the old M33 cannot do DSD? Speakers are DIY Faital 3WC 10" versions from Troels.
The room construction is an old German Land Haus (1870). exterior walls (2) are 1m thick stone with plaster and wood wainscot. the room is 6m by 5m and 2.9m tall. filled with couches carpet and wood floor, 2 humans and a dog. I am fairly certain I need but dont know for certain. With that in mind, I have ordered a miniDSP UMIK for some REW testing. With an old house (we rent) plug sockets must have been rather dear as we are limited. All-in-one due to WAF and the limited power options - though I guess I could wire up an extension thingy for the cabinet.
Now the question, feel free to pile on. Both the Lyngdorf and NAD are long in the tooth. NAD announced for the Munich HiFi a v2 coming out, maybe August. No real details on the v2 other than hardware for MQA and updated Eigentakt amps; based on the release I do not have enough knowledge to say if the v2 will be worthwhile to me. I do know that Lyngdorf and NAD have been religiously pushing software updates.
The Hegel 400 could be an option on a big stretch but that would add additional power cable for a phono stage. Love old houses...hate old houses.
I know the bonus of separates. my manland cave is a DIY tube, with separate streamer and seperate dac. This one has to be wife (artist) friendly and run from a phone app (mostly), she can do power buttons.
Thanks
Erick
