    Setup Upgrade

    Thanks :) I bought the Copland last week so won't be getting rid of it anytime soon. Also I think it sounds great with my existing speakers. Agree regarding the streamer though

    Setup Upgrade

    Out of interest - why is a better streamer preferable if I'm currently using the excellent streamer in my Copland amp?

    Amp Upgrade for ATC SCM11 Speakers

    Morning everyone — I’m looking to upgrade from a Musical Fidelity M3Si. I need an amp with around 80–200W per channel to drive my ATC SCM11s properly in a mid sized room. My budget is about US$2,800. Any recommendations I should try before I go auditioning? Thanks!

    Topping E70 Velvet to WiiM Pro

    Hi everyone. I was planning to buy the DAC mentioned above second-hand, and when I called a friend of mine about it, he had a pretty strong reaction. His exact words were: “don’t buy that Chinese S***.” I’m still going to listen to it before deciding, but I’d love to hear your thoughts. Is it...

    ATC SCM11/Musical Fidelity and Sonos Connect

    Having looked into everything it seems that buying the Bluesound Node 2 and running Airplay via my mac is probably the most sensible solution. Thanks for all your feedback!

    ATC SCM11/Musical Fidelity and Sonos Connect

    Thanks guys So to summarise, despite the Musical Fidelity amplifier having a built in DAC, I will have to buy an external one if I want the Sonos Connect to perform well. Unfortunatley buying a separate streamer won't work as they're not comptabile with Apple Music (if I understand correctly)...

    ATC SCM11/Musical Fidelity and Sonos Connect

    Following some great advice on this forum I auditioned ATC SCM11s speakers paired up with a Musical Fidelity M3si amplifier. I'm in the process of moving into a new apartment and am considering the setup in the living room. As I mostly listen to music using Apple Music, I was considering...

    Amplifier for ATC SCM11s

    Hi I'm looking for an amplifier to match my ATC SCM11s. I usually listen to music through Apple Music so it must be compatible. I'd say my budget is around £500 - £1000. Any suggestions or solutions?
