Re: Non NVA Equipment Used By Members.
All my non source equipment is NVA and I cant see that changing. I have taken up the offer on the P90SA upgrade. The system is extremely transparant and faithful to the source, TIS and TISC playing no small part. To my ears the transparancy of the system has coraborated all of the very positive reviews of the Chord Mscaler. I believe it has raised the SQ bar. Full details of my systems are in my signature. I am mostly using a bluetooth source for the second system for reasons of convenience. Although lacking the detsil of the the fixed connection, the sound is very pleasing at low levels.

Re: Non NVA Equipment Used By Members.
I've had a lifetime of box-swapping, unfulfilled expectation and ultimate disappointment but no longer! I've no plans to replace any of my NVA kit. It's nice not spending hours scouring the second hand market, just don't feel the need.
The only non-NVA kit is my TT - 401/SME V/Benz Gullwing SLR, and CD player Sony CDP-X779es which isn't working at the moment.

Re: Non NVA Equipment Used By Members.
Ha! Oh ye of little faith! (Although quite possibly correct ).
It was actually working ok when I first got it home but after a week or so it started playing up. I don't think it's the laser as it reads the ToC fine every time. Anyway the transport has gone off for specialist inspection.

None NVA rPi with IQAudio Pro DAC and Moode Player. Sometimes I feed it into my AP10H and feel transported.

Re: Non NVA Equipment Used By Members.
Not equipment as such but worth a mention in the context of this thread, apps. I use BubbleUp on the main system to stream Qobuz and ripped CDs to the streamer. For everything else it is Audio Player Pro. This app significantly improves sound quality through the two sources when listening through headphones via a connected DAC or the Bluetooth DAC connected to the second system. The emprovement is even noticable via the Bose mini soundlink I am listening to at the moment, being on holiday.

Re: Non NVA Equipment Used By Members.
Every time I see yours mentioned I think about it but tbh it's the least used of my sources by a long way so I may get round to it one day
