Need some basic help connecting the dots to a new home audio setup please…
My understanding so far:
1)Dedicated Computer/Music Server
2)Amp
3)DAC
4)SPEAKERS
5)INTERFACE
Looking at a 20K budget.
Like my paradigm reference speakers in TV room so will probably go with them. (wall/ceiling, paradigm throughout house)
Up to 6 zones.
Controlled in each zone and from my laptop and/or dedicated controller.
Some CD’s but also streaming music and XM.
Want to have playlists, classical, rock, soft etc…
Have room in basement for setup and can get under whole house.
Hard wire all components. WIFI only for interface.
Looking at the Sooloos system but seems overkill but not ruling it out.
What controls the 6 zones? The DAC, AMP???
What am I missing here????
Lots of other questions for later…..
Thanks
Mark
