u/analog-rider

I currently listen to both Analog (Vinyl) and digital (Streaming). I have a decent sounding system but I'm always looking for new avenues. I've heard from people that blu-ray audio can sound fantastic. I know there are limited stock, but I plan to get some sample rips of Blu-ray audio and test them through my roon. Anybody gone all in on blu-ray audio? if so, do you use a player or do you rip them and play through a Dac? (I'm using 2 channel only, so video, atmos or surround wont come into play)

Mark what you’ve heard on the upper realms of audio. I’m very curious of personal impressions of each if you’re willing to offer them (I’m in the US , so if people have brands i should add let me know). I’ve listed five under each category (I put my check marks next to the equipment I’ve heard.)

Edit - for people who've heard them all all at trade shows, can you provide your favorite brand (ie.. if money was no object which woold you choose) from each category? and bonus- the specific model you'd pick

They replaced the older Momentum MxV's mono blocks, and were powering the same pair of Wilson XVX speakers that I've used many times to host my own listening events.

Say what you want about amplifiers, but I was sitting about 4 rows back toward the left when the first track played and I was knocked back by the difference in the way these powered the Wilsons. There are technical explanations aplenty, but my ears heard a system I've run many times, sound noticeably better - which, by the way, is a feat unto itself.

I know there will be different opinions on this and that's fine -mine is just that, an opinion. I wanted to share my personal experience with the group.
