Hi All
First post here.
I want to say this forum is great and I hope you all can help me with this.
I have the following.
Kindle Fire 6.3.1
Marantz AV7005
Parasound HCA-1205A 5 channel amp
Oppo 93
two Rythmik 15" subs
5 GR Research AV-2's
I plan to upgrade to the GR Research X-Otica for the fronts as soon as the kit is available.
I want to make a dedicated music server that I can control from the Kindle Fire 6.3.1
I want to bypass the AV7005 when using the music server for the best sound per buck.
The music server is just for stereo running flac , .Wav or whatever format is best at this time.
I need a cost effective DAC that will sound better than the AV7005.
I could also change to a Oppo 105 if this is cost effective.
It needs to interface with the AV7005 so I can use it for HT,SACD and the Music server for stereo with remote control of the volume.
What would be the most cost effective and still have a great sounding music server /DAC combined with the AV7005 for all the other duty's?
The Subs are using XLR cables to their plate amps and the rest are RCA.
I am just using the HDMI from the Oppo at this time.
Is there a way not to use a preamp that has a HT Bypass to get as clean a sound as possible?
