Anyone have any experience with the C658 and the optional HDMI module? Background: Recently renovated our old conservatory and turned it into the main living area of the house rather than it just being a ‘cinema’ room. Moved the C658/C268/Dali Menuet/REL T-Zero setup into ‘conservatory’ as...

Question for a friend as I no longer have Sonos kit myself. I've advised said friend to get a cheap NAS to run his Sonos setup from and we were wondering if it was still possible to browse/transfer files using Windows explorer if the NAS was connected directly to the spare ethernet port on the...

Thanks all, actually went with an Arcam Solo Neo which was a better match for the Tannoys' sound (for me anyway). Realised I've compromised a little but after 20 years of having all this different looking kit hanging around the house (and the usual collection of wires) it's actually quite nice...

Thanks for that, I did wonder if the Cyrus might be a bit 'lean' sounding for the Tannoy's as they are quite small. I'll just have to give it a try somewhere.

Looking to move house and would like to simplify my hi-fi setup so as to look neater (and accomodate my home cinema in the same room). Pondering the sale of the Sonos ZP90, Rega Brio-R, MF M1-DAC and MF X-10v3 and replacing it all with a Cyrus Streamline - effectively converting 4 differently...

Thanks for the thoughts so far, I'll be sure to try and have a listen to those already suggested. Still though, anyone out there with any comments/experience with the 3 speakers I've shortlisted?

Looking to upgrade my Mordaunt Short Aviano 1 XR speakers for something in the £400 to £500 bracket. Got to be standmounters and relatively compact so I've shortlisted the following: Rega RS1 Dynaudio 2/6 ATC SCM7 I like a forward sound but don't like to feel I'm being shouted at so harsh...

Thanks, I had been pondering that - safe to assume you've heard the M1 and that it's a step up from the X-DAC V3? I'd guess the answer is yes given that the X10 is a bit of a veteran these days (although I bet I'll get good money for it on Ebay)

Until recently my system consisted of a Sonos ZP90 fed by a Netgear NAS through a MF X-DAC V3 and MF X-PSU into a Creek Evolution amplifier and output through a pair of Castle Knight 1 loudspeakers. I had for some time been pondering replacing the MF kit by upgrading to one of the more...

I definitely think you need to stick a DAC between whatever you use to serve the music and your amplifier. I'm currently running a Squeezebox Classic through a Musical Fidelity X-DAC and it sounds fantastic, far better than it did when I tried it without the DAC. It's safe to assume that the...
