    Question What's your next HiFi purchase?

    It sounds incredible, detail and separation while staying musical, theres depth and height to the sound stage that surpasses the NAD M10, I think the Dalis are living their best life.

    I smell trouble....

    Ah okay, Vodafone sent me an Apple TV when I renewed and it came with Apple TV&Music for 90 days which I have now signed up to for the car (and Slow horses)and because its plays lossless through the HDMI into my amp, ATMOS music I'm on the fence with but I'm listening sometimes.

    I smell trouble....

    I've been using airplay for multi room streaming around the house for 17 years and I've never owned a sonos speaker or a HomePod for that matter. Note I said multi room, I use tidal connect for single room or roon. Roon, Bluesound, or airplay for multi room. Airplay works across multiple brands.

    SACD transport - recommendations please

    Yes I think you mentioned some sites 5 or 6 weeks ago and I was looking through them, the average cost seems fair, especially if you started buying CDs in the 80's its just the number of titles available is so small. If I was a classical fan I'd jump in with both feet.
