What's your setup/configuration look like?

Hi to all
As i told i use Topping D50s and i would not change it for nothing in the world.
Very dynamic, detailed,defined,no sense of iced or electronic sound and….a huge soundstage. As in width as in depth. At the beginning anyway i had some problem. I fed it with classical charger 5 V 2 A. NOT GOOD AT ALL !!
It was always very hot, and the strange is that it was hottest in standby mode rather when it was in use. More i had intermittent audio at 24/192 via SPDIF.
Having read that D50s is very sensitive to jitter i decided to fed it via a linear power supply and i bought the Topping P50.
The miracle happened!! Now is always as cold as ice. Working or not working.
NO MORE intermittent audio. For me ii gained also more detail,more air between instruments, more width and depth in soundstage.
What can i say? Always for me…PERFECT

WiiM Pro in my setup

Next to a Onkyo DX-C390 6 cd changer, Onkyo K-505T cassette player. The WiiM Pro and other digital sources (cd, TV) are fed into a SMSL SU-6 DAC, through an automatic toslink switcher. Every other input has priority over the previous one. So switching between digital sources is completely seamless. I'm streaming from a NAS and Spotify (got my hopes up for the launch of Hi-Fi quality on March 8th).

Amplifier & preamplifier are the Rotel RB-06 and Rotel RC-06, both recently got a refresh and a few upgrades.

Speakers are the Wharfedale Linton Heritage, with DIY Mogami loudspeaker cables.

Turntable is a Thorens TD-166 MK2, fully stock apart from new oil and rca plugs

That does look super cool

Small Garage set up, I have a pair of Q Acoustic 3020 coming to finish it off

 

[Mr Ee]

My mini still has that protective film on it too!

 

[Brava210]

Slight update to Garage set up...swapped the Fosi 3116 for a much more powerful Fosi TB10D
Speakers are now Q Acoustic 3020, sounds very beefy

Thanks... Nad and Aiwa are with me since 1983 and I'm too romantic to change them...

 

[Brava210]

I always wanted a Nad amp.
I did once have an Aiwa tape deck in the 90s
Turntable looks special too.

 

[merifon]

Turntable looks special too.

It's just for my old original records, from the XX° century...
I think any era has it's own medium and since I recently had some rip-off with modern vinyls, sure I go with streaming...

 

[Brava210]

I am getting carried away with the "small" Garage set up...
Ive swapped out the thin speaker cable for some decent 12 Guage stuff...
Added a small shelving unit.
Added a Toppig E50 DAC...picked up for £140..
Added better short Banana plugs.
I will add pics later if anyone is interested?

I like the way you've still got the protector on the mini and the tags on the speakers!
Hope you've got enough garage projects to keep you busy (and warm!) in there.

I must admit....its bit cold out there

 

[Brava210]

It is way over the top for a Garage,but it sounds so good.
Apparently fitting a higher voltage power supply to the Amp can double its power output from 100w into 8ohm to 198w.....

WIIM Pro coax to SMSL SU-6 DAC to Denon AVC-X3800 Zone 2 to 1979 Marantz SM-7 amp to Klipsch RP-8000F for 2-channel hi-fi bliss.

 

[Brava210]

That is some beautiful equipment you have there.

Danke! Believe it or not, the Marantz SM-7 amp and SC-7 preamp (on the right side) were given to me by a friend. I told him I could not pay what they are worth when he wanted to sell them last year. He said he wanted them to have a happy home. Blew...me...away. I LOVE the SM-7 for hi-fi and use the Emotiva A3 for L/C/R in the 7.2.4 theater.
