Got back into two channel audio after a long hiatus raising my two girls.  I only listen to digital as I don’t have the patience or inclination to start over with analog.  I have two systems.  One in my home office as I work from home full time, and one in my main listening room.  I have bought everything used and have also traded up (mostly) over the last two years.

As far as analog goes, I just don’t have the patience for analog and the problems that go along with it.

I’m very pleased with the sound from my main system, but realize room treatments are in order down the road.  My home office system sounds good too, but some better cables may be in my future.

The Lumin U1 and Esoteric K-07X are for sale on an audio website as the Aurender N10 has taken over for the Lumin and the Esoteric N-05 has taken over for the K-07X.

I stream all music from the N10’s hard drives, a Synology NAS, or from Tidal HiFi.

My systems are:
MAIN SYSTEM
Pass Labs INT-30A Integrated Amplifier
PS Audio Directstream DAC w/Bridge II
PS Audio Directstream Memory Player
Aurender N10 Music Server
Lumin U1 Network Transport
PS Audio P3 Power Plant

Esoteric K-07X SACD Player
Sony HAPZ1ES Digital Audio Player w/ 2TB SSD

A bunch of Dads here identify with getting back into audio after college bills are paid!

Welcome.  It is laid back and friendly here as opposed to some other audio sites.  Enjoy!
