The goal was to create a system that brought me closer to my favorite music, I feel like that goal has been met.

@tcutter - thank you. The room is mixed use (TV room + music room), so I had to factor that into the equation.

Nice attention to Rm Rx

Those are those special blocks made for rough women.

Beautiful collection of gear- looks like a wonderful place to spend some quality time.

@drcrew93  - Thank you, I'm lucky to have a larger room where I can pull the QLNs out from the wall--their bass gets boomy if too close to a wall. 

@sfpeloton - The digital front end, including the supporting network, is pretty dialed in right now. 

@honeyooi - Thank you for the compliment. We chatted many years ago about Air Tight gear. I'd like to find another ATM-2 at some point. 

@zlone - The QLN aren't talked about a lot, but they really are an incredible speaker. These have a really attractive finish that makes them look as good as they sound.

Hard for me to imagine how this wouldn't sound fantastic. Lot's of attention to optimizing digital playback with high quality components throughout. Well done.

Nice system and room, awesome

Great system! I am envious that you have the room to pull your speakers out from the back wall and create a lot of physical space around them. That is definitely a limitation in my setup which I hope to correct some day in the next house! ;)

Impressive, I love QLN. Nice choice for tunes. 😊

Thank you. The rack is from Crate & Barrel, I added some thick butch blocks that I picked up at various places. 

jayrossi13

Who made that rack?  It's gorgeous as is all the gear!

@jond  Thank you. 

Through process of elimination, I'm down to the EMM Labs DV2--it's an amazing DAC. The Holo Audio May is also pretty amazing, especially when you consider the cost. 

I also recently upgraded from the Innuos Zenith with the Antipodes K50. 

The Jorma cable is fantastic. 

jayrossi13

Nice system those QLN's are gorgeous! Do you still use all those Dacs or did you settle on one? Some great choices there as is your Jorma AES/EBU cable I consider my Jorma spdif to be the best cable in my system.

jond

Very nice system.
