This is where we are at today. Lots of components coming and going, but this is what I keep coming back to. Notable extras are the CAD GC1.1 grounding unit (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this unit), SOtM sNH-10G Ethernet switch, and the Small Green Computer Optical Module Deluxe with LPS. I have tried many different cables, but for me the Straight Wire cables sound very smooth and detailed in this system. Still using all AQ Thunder power cables with Niagara 1000.
A beautiful pair of Classe mono amplifiers. Class A up to 35 watts
HifiRose RS150B
I really love this piece. ESS Sabre DAC with built in streamer. Using Roon sometimes and the Rose app most of the time. CD ripper with Samsung hard drive inside. Love the screen, but the sound quality is very impressive.
KEF Blade
Definitely, one of my favorites. No complaints. Super imaging, great bass. Wife likes these better than the Magnepans, but not as much as the Reference 5 Meta.
For what it's worth, I like the room and looks of the system in front of the window best.
I'm a big fan of Classe but have never heard anything of that caliber. And I've thought the Blade speakers are beautiful, and I'll bet they sound like it too. Wonderful system, room, view, and I'll bet the sound too.
