Hi all,
stumbling across ASR this year has reignited the stereo hobby and set my wallet partly on fire. Some of the purchases based on reading here:
For the living room main setup:
Topping D90LE (replaced Benchmark DAC1)
Topping Pre90 (replaced Parasound P3)
Nord Acoustics Nord One NCx500DM MKII Dual Mono (inbound later this summer, to augment/replace Parasound A21) Not directly based on review, but more generally from learning about Hypex based amps on the forum.
Roon lifetime membership
Mac Mini (2023) 8/256 with 2TB external HDD for local music (to run Roon Core - taking over from iMac (2013))
Thinking about UMIK 1, to use with HouseCurve from ipad/iphone in order to use Roon DSP.
For the fjordside cabin:
Topping E70 (currently running as dac-only in front of Cambridge Azur 540A, will use as dac/pre)
Nord Acoustics Nord Value-Line MP NC252 Stereo Power Amplifier (also inbound, to replace Cambridge)
For a head-fi setup for my son:
Sonos Connect (bought used, to use as Roon endpoint)
Under consideration: Topping DX3 Pro+ (start with a low cost-ish one-box solution)
Under consideration: Sennheiser HD600 (available on 25% sale from local store in Oslo)
