Things have changed, and it's about time for an update. The system, and the gas stove, have been updated, and the room has been re-oriented 90 degrees
System is now:
Sources: VortexBox server > Wyred4Sound 96kHz modified Sonos Connect; Pro-Ject Tuner Box, Bel Canto CD-2, main L/R channels from Yamaha RX-V667 HT receiver (used about once every 2 months)
DAC: Benchmark DAC2-HGC
Amplification: Wyred4Sound STP-SE preamp, Wyred4Sound mAmps
Room Correction EQ: DSpeaker Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual-Core with ULN-2 linear power supply
Speakers: Newform Research R645v3 with upgraded external crossovers; Hsu ULS-15 subwoofer
All cables are Analysis Plus copper
Currently enjoying the best sound I've ever achieved. I think I've posted about each of the upgraded pieces separately somewhere here.
