Purchased MQA core decoder for aurender N10. Allows first unfold 24/96. Tidal masters sound great.

Added PS Audio DS DAC and transport. They sound great, the exceptional reviews are not hype

I’m sure you will like Proac D48R, I have Proac D30R in a smaller room and they have great mid range. They do take some breakin time ~ 500 hours.

The finish on the Proacs is rosewood which is an adder.

Just tightened the drivers in the Proac D30R speakers with a torx screwdriver about 1/2 turn. A few of them were loose. It really righted up the bass.
