    Streamer upgrade and internal DAC comparison questions

    I am so easily distracted! If it's not broke don't change it!! WiiM mini on its way. £77 delivered next day. The remaining budget going towards a better pair of speakers. Cheers for the input.

    Replacement for Samsung QE50Q65T (2020) QLED HDR 4K

    I've been using them all my life (since my first CD player late 80s) I bought a x demo unit from them <£100 as new, when the remote function failed they replaced the player with a brand new one. I bought my last Samsung QLED from there a couple years ago. They're 60 miles away but always get a...

    Streamer upgrade and internal DAC comparison questions

    Streamer upgrade and internal DAC comparison questions

    My son has just moved flats and I gave him a start up HI-FI (WiiM, Diamonds, Old Pioneer amp). Thought it was a good excuse to upgrade!;) I would like a bit of insight into Streamer/DACs and what might suit. Read good things on the MXN10, want to audition. Did consider another mini but wondered...

    Cassette Decks

    I use an older Yamaha one I bought second hand about 10 years ago and it still sounds good if I keep the heads demagnetised and clean. I also have an unused TEAC V-377 deck going free if anyone wants it (unfortunately it was cheap and the speed fluctuated so I never used it, may be belts??)
