Living Room 2 Channel System. Audio with some video.
DSPeaker X4 Preamp DAC analog out to Cary SLP-88 Tube preamp essentially making the Cary a Tube Buffer in this configuration. NOS Raytheon Tubes from the early 1950's.
CD quality and Hi-Res FLAC and WAV files along with Qobuz Streamed through Bluesound Node 2i and Logitech Squeezebox Touch.

Why need for two preamp layers? Is bluesound needed? Any thoughts about installing a roon nucleus?
How do you transition from stereo to ht? I am trying to find a tube preamp with true bypass, ie tubes off when watching tv, etc. looked at Cary but not a true bypass.
