Hello sir. Quick question: your Hegel have a usb input type B on the back. Its possible to directly link a cable to a SSD and stream ( read) it?
Thanks

I’ve not tried that but it is capable of streaming files over upnp Network , Airplay and Spotify and has a very capable on board DAC

My gear was previously in a dedicated listening room (in my previous life)… but it was small… 12 feet x 12 feet approx.

This new space is about 20 feet x 50 feet… nice big basement living room. Best sounding room I’ve ever had by a long shot.

Sounds like a terrific setup! Enjoy!

Latest addition. Cayin HA 300(B) 8 Watt heated triode headphone amp. Can also use to drive high efficiency speakers. Source is a new Chord Qutest DAC connected directly to my Roon Nucleus + via USB. Sounds fantastic. I particularly like my headphone stand.

Should read," proud to welcome Statement to the fold.

Mitch, looks awesome!, are you aware there is an edit function if you wish to change a post?

Actually, I am, but I forgot about it. How do you change the profile?

Just hit the little pencil in the post you want to edit.

Super, but I wonder whether you need bigger speakers?

Hi Mitch
Very nice😊
Your system just looks so “right”
Congratulations and enjoy
Tony

Congrats, Mitch! :ok_hand:

Just take a glass of Whiskey and enjoy your music! :tumbler_glass:

I for one would love to hear my favorite music played on that system bet it sounds awesome Mitch happy listening!

Looks great mitch, where is the cd555?

The reason of asking is I’ve tried Rost a couple of years ago, and liked it.
Yours are a more capable component:
my listening habits is ear my UQ2 via usb pen trying avoid network.
Thinking if I could keep the same, while considering expanding the auditions of Naim Nova’s rivals.

Thanks for the input sir.

Wow! What’s the imaging like with so many drive units?

Yea I have been eyeing this amp ever since it came out. Use to live in Hong Kong and have owned several Cayin tube pieces over the years. The sound of this amp is truly wonderful. Was only going to use it as a headphone amp, but I am now looking at various horn speakers to use it with as well. The journey continues…
