I'm considering an SA30 having owned an A39 in the past but I'm concerned about all the problems I've read about. I'd be grateful if anyone can answer a few questions: 1) Does anyone know how the SA30 compares to the A39? 2) Does anyone use the SA30 with Audirvana over UPnP? If so, is this...

Thanks for the reply. You make some very good points and I share those experiences. It's hard to imagine the Chromecast can be a contender and as good as people say given is price!

Has anyone compared the performance of a CCA connected to a DAC via optical Vs a PC/ Mac connected to the same DAC via an asynchronous USB input (Primarily streaming Tidal lossless)? I'd been very interested to hear how the CCA compared.

Hi David, How easy do the LS50s make it to play music on my network? Would they be able to see music stored on a hard drive connected to an Airport Extreme router? If not, how would I get my music playing over wi-fi without connecting a computer to the USB input? Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion but the AVI speakers wouldn't allow me to replace my Mac Mini as a source like the LS50w would. That is my aim.

Ellisdj, Are you saying you didn't experience it with your Qutest or that you don't believe in burn in full stop? I'm a firm believer and have experienced with the majority of components I've bought. They've all taken very different lengths of time to burn in but they have always required an...

I’d investigate it further. Mine has always been fine until developing a problem neither I nor Apple seem to be able to solve.

I’m not sure I’d need a sub but being used to floorstanders i assumed I would to compensate.

Headless Macs are a pain and wth the new problems with screen sharing I'm experiencing, I've had enough of mine. The LS50 gets universally outstanding reviews (app excepted) and I've been wondering whether it would be an all together simpler solution - with exceptional performance.

That is certainly one school of thought. Not one I agree with however.

I have been very interested in DIRAC Live but haven't got around to trying it yet. I enjoyed your set up tutorial and hoped you'd produce another explaining the curve and the best way to manipulate it.

I think I may have mislead responses by mentioning the room size. I currently have R500s in this room without an issue. They sound wonderful and I rate them highly. If they work then the significantly smaller LS50w certainly would too. I am having problems with my Mac Mini and wondered how the...

R500s work really well in this room. The room has needed some accoustic treatment to accomodate them but is great now.

Which of the following systems do you think would sound best in a small room (3m x 2.8m) and why? Mac Mini> Chord Qutest> Arcam A39 >KEF R500 KEF LS50 Wireless + KEF R400b Subwoofer

I'm FINALLY loving it. I've never had a hifi component that has needed so much running in. For ages it sounded super bright and headache inducing. I hated it and wanted to sell it and wanted my 2Qute back. However, It is finally sounded even, balanced, natural and amazing. I love it. Yes, I am...
