That certainly meets the 'simplicity' criteria.

Got it now. Thanks.

S/PDIF HAT? Uh.....

Thanks, guys. This is a LOT to process, but it feels like I'm on the right track now. Much appreciated.

This looks like something that might be suitable. So, LMS running on the Raspberry Pi [or, I assume, a surplus laptop] and connected to my home wifi ? I could store music files on NAS or on the computer, I assume? And, yes, lots of phones and tablets here. I'm just not a huge fan of them...

Thanks 4-2-7. That looks promising. I would have to control the system from a computer, though, correct?

And what is TIDAL?

Hi, E-Stat. Yes, I realize I may have to adapt on that one. Something like an iPad Mini might not be too bad.

Hi, everyone. My name is David, and I’m an audio Luddite. [response: Hi, David…] I need your help. I have an older 2-channel system I like [NAD receiver and CDP, Canton sub/sat speakers] but I would like to move from CDs to playing digital files. I find that I am only accessing a portion of...

Crow Counter.

Chris Rea's Road to Hell, on Canton S and Canton Plus C.

I'd suggest owning and enjoying both. Seriously. Look at it as the audio equivalent of a really fine photograph: a beautiful image interpreted by two master printmakers, each with its own merits and perspective. By listening to both works, comparing and contrasting, they two can say a lot about...

Firstborn? I mean, it *is* McIntosh.... Just sayin'.

Having read through many reviews and manufacturer websites, I'm still uncertain on an upgrade path for my current setup, and would appreciate advice from more experienced members of the AK community. I'm looking for closed or semi-closed 'phones that deliver audio quality in terms of...

In Canada.... ...the CBC [especially Radio2] provides a level of public radio that, along with public health care, is a high point of citizenship. Let's hope it's sustainable.

That would be ideal, but aren't they rather rare? I see a few on That Auction Site, but shipping seems high and I'm unlikely to find one close to home. Still, that would be just about perfect. That, and the Minimus 7's. <g>

I've looked at the Atoms... ...but not sure they'd fit my bare-bones budget for this project. As for the 7's, they'd probably suffice, if I could find some locally. I had a pair back in the early 80's but don't have fond memories of them.

I like the idea of the SOny HD tuner, but... ...I'm in Canada. No HD here, or on the way AFAIK.

Before I shop for a compact system to use in my office, I thought I'd look for other options. I'd like to be able to listen to FM and CDs at low volume, and favour realistic reproduction over extreme frequency response. The advantage of a compact system would be the limited desktop real estate...

Thanks, JimJ, these are an interesting start. Not sure *where* to start, but this seems like a good beginning. Thanks.

Before I consider purchasing the Stereophile test CD, I thought I'd check to see if a downloadable 'homegrown' alternative exists at AK. I'm looking for test tones, etc. Nothing seems to turn up in a quick search of the archives. Has this ever been offered? :scratch2:

good point, dumptruck... ...not sure what that'd look like, but certainly worth consideration.

Sounds like my next step are stands, but... ... finding the Canton 'LS' stands that fit the Plus S has been very difficult. The few I can track down are absurdly priced, even prior to shipping. I expect I'll design and build something a little better that the stamped steel, anyway. I'd go to...

Great advice - thanks Thanks, all. This is useful. MikeO: Yes, I seem to recall reading about some sort of connection between ADS and Canton. The designs do seem similar in a few cases. Chadnliz and dumptruck: agreed - the smaller room size probably mitigates the shortcomings in the...
