Hi,
I currently play my music from a MAC Mini, through an optical link to
my pioneer receiver (LX81), mostly lossless files (I also play movies etc.,). In addition I use a Pioneer blu ray for the full cinema experience). This then goes
through some lovely B&W XT series speakers. I have been happy with
the system, but was in a HI FI store yesterday & they told me if i
also had a dedicated music amp (Naim was mentioned), the musical
experience would be much better. Apparently, there is too much ''shine'
when playing through a cinema receiver.
I am keen to see what you guys on the forums reckon. Also if it is going to be that much better, how would i set-up the system?
Cheers,
