Some live reference material from my wife:

Those cardboard pieces are cat protectors for my speakers.

Hi ahofer
What music might your wife have been playing? And are those Harbeth speakers?
Thanks for sharing the photo.

Hi ahofer

Thanks for sharing the photo.

She was either warming up with Bach, or working on her Viola part in a Brahms Piano Quintet she will be performing. Those are Harbeth SHL5+(AE), driven by an RME DAC, a @March Audio p252 amplifier and, for the moment, a Google Chromecast Audio.

Another great recording. The Chromecast has been replaced with a Volumio Primo (479 euros), which I have to say is performing seamlessly as a wired DLNA endpoint feeding my DAC via USB.

This can be streamed on Tidal (and no doubt other services), but on Tidal the tracks seem to be scrambled, as sometimes happens. Wish Tidal would get this consistently right.
