Room overlooks the Smoky Mountains. Doors to the room are exterior and the wall adjoining house is brick, so I can listen at night and not disturb the family. Cabinetry holds CD collection. I have recently simplified to the Ayon CD5s which includes its own transport, DAC and Preamp in one unit. This now goes via Master Built Ultra Balanced IC’s to my Nuforce Reference 20’s. They are bi-wired with Master Built Signature cables to the Von Schweikert VR5 Anniversary MK2s .That’s it. This saves two power cords and two sets of IC’s over my past separate North Star transport, DAC and Audio Horizons Preamp. I used the money from sales of these connectors to upgrade my remaining pair of IC’s. While my old system sounded very good, the sound of this new system configuration is more natural, cleaner, very dynamic and satisfying. I think this is mostly from the simpler signal path plus the new speakers. WSF is way up with only one remote and push and play design. The reduced visual clutter is relaxing. I absolutely love the Ayon with NOS tubes. To me it handily beat my home audition of the 20K Meridian 808.3. The Ayon is fully computer ready but frankly I am so enjoying the delight of my current analogue-like Red Book sound, that I will probably wait a few years to let computer audio mature.
