I've been looking for a small integrated amp with a digital input to put in a bedroom system with a Squeezebox Touch and some Martin Logan Electromotion ESLs. I've found the Cyrus 8QX amp and Perreaux 80i (which is made locally here in NZ) and I have also been recommended the Linn Majik DSM at more $$$ as a single box alternative. I was going to hook up the Squeezebox Touch via it's digital output to whichever amp I chose, and was looking for a better performing DAC. So my questions are:
Does anyone have any experience with any of these units and would care to comment on their performance? Is the Majik DSM really usable compared to the Squeezebox? I usually use a transporter and 2x Touch units via their remotes but do use iPeng and Squeezepad from time to time. Seeing as I have LMS set up and working reliably with several players, is getting a separate Linn player really a workable option? Linn has software that allows a Majik unit to follow a Squeezebox but I'm a bit hesitant because of their oBnOXiouS KaPItaliZatiOn and SpellInG and the high $$$. If you've done this already please let me know how you got on. Cheers, Steve. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steve Agnew's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=840 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97310 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
