[QUOTE="CD Fourie, post: 1056155, member: 2568"] Current setup: Stereo: EmmLabs CDSA - Ayre Pre/Power - Vivid Audio V1.5 [CDSA to eventually be replaced :sd:] Surround: Yamaha RX880 AVR feeding Ayre Pre (Processor Pass-through), powering surrounds and Atmos in-ceilings only. Centre Vivid Audio is powered by Cyrus X-Power +PSX (thanks Sean Jammy - it sounds great), because the Yamaha did a poor job. Surround Source: Samsung 4k BDP K8500 (or something like that) & Apple TV-4k Stereo is the preferred mode of listening. The AV side works well enough. These components were all bought over the years (when I had some cash to spare) at ridiculously low prices. They sounds stellar and a worthy replacement for the CDSA will be difficult to find. It is the old CDSA so no access to the Meitner DAC, unfortunately. Now I am old and wasted all my money on cars, girls and wine. So I am trying to get to 99% the sounds quality of the CD player, without spending a fortune. Good streamer and DAC sounds like what I need? Hope that is one box - running out of plug points. Afraid I have no idea what a NAS and Pi is. Thanks for the input. [/QUOTE]
