Good morning everyone. I am new to the forum, although I have been following you for some time with satisfaction. Congratulations to everyone for the service, and the advice you give.
I am Italian, so please forgive my English.
I mostly listen to liquid music from my imac, all flac files, or from Amazon music hd. I have a RME 400 fireface multi-channel Dac with which I drive an AUDIO RESEARCH VSI 75 amplifier (connected to two Usher Minidancer 2 Diamond speakers) and two Neumann kh 120 active speakers for the ambience (calibrated at a significantly lower volume than the front speakers) .
Here is the first question: I would like to improve listening to my LG oleg TV using 5.1 surround (or even 4.1 without the front speaker) and also faithfully reproduce high resolution music recorded at 5.1 . What options do I have?
Listening to music is okay with my current system, but it plays stereo in front and stereo in back. What do I need for 5.1? A multi-channel preamp? An AV receiver? An Av receiver with integrated amplifier ? I would like something that easily corrects room acoustics but sounds very good. I have seen that generally in these av systems dac and amplifiers are not very good, I don't think up to the Audio Research vsi 75 ... but maybe I'm wrong.
I would like my current research vsi 75 audio to continue driving the front speakers, but also keep my 2 Neumann active speakers. I should only buy a subwoofer. What connection do you recommend? And above all, what do you recommend me to buy as an AV? I would like to spend a maximum of 5,000 euros, plus 1,000 euros for the subwoofer alone.
last question: I saw you speak well of the Okto 8 ch dac. Would I have any improvements to replace my RME 400 fireface?
Thanks for the advice you will be able to give me,
Greetings
