Have you got room for the furniture?
Mrs Scopus would have kittens if I had all that in the lounge...
 
Updated my amp to this lovely beast.

Looking to upgrade my speakers to Technics SB-CS75 and some Technics (Panasonic, really) turntable. The JVC one has seen better days, though trying to refurbish it before binning.

Setup 1
Amp: Naim XS2
Speakers: B&W CM Series
DAC: Chord Qute EX
CD: Marantz CD 5001 OSE
Main Music Source: Daphile Server, based on a J1900 CPU, was a EPOS system I found in the bin which I repaired and modified!
Record: Project Debut and Rega Fono Pre-Amp
TV: Sony 50W829, took me years to get away from a Plasma TV, this was the best TV I could find for black levels, it still surprises me 3 years on, looking to go 4k but been disappointed in the TV's I've looked at so far.
HTPC: Lenovo i5 6500, might get a USB Sat tuner for it...

Large gap where I need to put a stack of Satellite receivers again, sold my VU+ Solo2 and misc devices.

Excuse the mess on the floor, I just dragged a tree through the living room to be put in garden waste!, will get some pictures of the bedroom HiFi at some point.

:-rofl2



Most people have tree problems interfering with their televisual pleasure outside due to signal blocking. I cant recall anyone ever having tree problems in the living room :D

I decided to go mess around in the garden with this, was a bit annoyed with the Christmas tree I threw out there a few weeks ago, so dragged it out of here

Raspberry Pi have some very good options, I use a Allo DigiOne dac, that’s plugged in to my maverick d1+ mine had the burr brown Upgrade :eek:

Plus the pi setup is fully customisable, I use moOde.

I've got a Pi Zero W with a JustBoom Amp Zero Combined AMP/Burr Brown DAC in the bedroom on a set of Q accostic 2020i's, that little JustBoom board is mind blowing for the money.

Funny enough I was looking at 1090 colinears to 3D print, I might give it a go over the weekend,
I did have a SDR-Play but sold it, I do have some RTL-SDR devices here, may have to have a mess around.

Do you use Spotify at all?

As @Analoguesat says rig a twig up and join in with the tracking.

We nearly have enough for our own VRS server :-wow
