Hi Diter, that is pretty sweet DAC. I never used it or heard it, but now I did a quick research. I am really happy that you enjoy your combo, I really hope in future I will be able to review more Roksan gear on this channel.

Hi Adrian or Michelle, thanks for watching my review it is appreciated! I have not encountered any problem with usb playback, it should work fine even with flac and DSD files. You can also control playback of music via application. I know this was not much, but I hope it helped.

@@HIFIDaydreaming hi its Adrian,thanks for reply,yeah thats help me alot,i listen mp3 and flac music from usb and streaming apple music✌️

The price is different in all of this, so i can not say exactly who has the best value. But if you can afford every one of this speakers than it is between Linton and 606. 606 are more punchy and with a lot of energy and treble, but Linton is speaker that opens more is dynamicly rich on both end and has a bit more easy listening sound. More refinement in mids and bass. So it depends what you like. I would personally go with Linton.

It will be a worthy buy! You should really enjoy sonic upgrade with this amp.

@@HIFIDaydreaming I'm not sure it's an upgrade, but at least an update 😉

I never heard how musician darco sounds, but would love to hear them in near future.

Hey Joe, really great post and comment, thank you for writing it here. I honestly have nothing to add here, it is a great thing to have sub, but I disagree a little bit that ig is a must especially for smaller rooms, or just for people who are not that much is weight and scope of sound and bass. But benefits od subs are countless and many. The only thing more I can say i have been dabbling in Arendal speakers for some time, I will do the review of bookshelfs in few months probably. Really great speakers.

@HIFIDaydreaming Thank you for the great response. I appreciate a reviewer that responds and does so in a very respectful manner. I love your channel and I'm a subscriber. I'm going to go and watch your past videos. I look forward to your Arendal review. Thanks for keeping it classy.

@@joecharpentier6636 Thank you man, this words are always appreciated!

Me too George, me too.

B&W and Marantz is match made in sonic heaven!

@@HIFIDaydreamingtrue🔥🔥🔥

Haha I feel like you heard this in some other one of my review. Technically on paper, it should do fine. But with Mags more power is always a safer bet, as they are picky beasts.

My thoughts from the review exactly! :D Unfortunately I have not listened to nr1200 so I don't have a opinion there.

My personal sound system changes every month, as this channel lives from selling my equipment and buying new. So testings are done with my own equipment and help from friends, even some people i sold gear sometimes help me with sound testings.

I am considering for some time to buy op-amps, they are even sold from Fosi website. Same like you I follow many different youtubers and all of them are hyping this up, so I already planed in some near future to buy this, and maybe who know review it. But you review device as it is, not as how it can be when upgraded, so that is why I have not spoke about op-amps.

Nisam, ali sam koratio cd50 sa model 50. Tako jest ja sam od svih marantz ampova izabrao model 50. Iskreno nemoj da kupuješ 40n, kupi 50-50. Imaćeš i bolji amp i preamp i dac u toj kombinaciji. Treba sutra da izbacim 70s recenziju i za koju nedelju model 50 recenziju gde baš pričam kako je mnogo bolja varijanta model 50 nego 40n. Tako da uvek 50-50 i imaš ceo mnogo bolji sistem od samo 40n.

@@HIFIDaydreaming Sve mi jasno nego vec imam 40n pa sam hteo da na njega nabacim CD50n, a da 40n koristim samo kao klasican amp. Nego ne znam ima li opipljive razlike u zvuku i da li se isplati. Mislim da ima posto CD50n ima bolji DAC. Inace i 40n sa B&W 703 S3 zvuci odlicno. Mislim da su odlican spoj toplog Marantz zvuka i Bower visokotonca. Planiram da kupim CD uz 40n pa mi ovaj CD50n deluje kao dobra opcija. On je CD player, bolji network od 40n, preamp ako nekad zatreba...

@@duleendlesssport6513 napisah negde ovde da bowers and marantz are match made in heaven. Jako dobra sinergija. Pazi sve sto govoriš je tačno, dac ideš kroz cd 50n, i dobijaš odličan cd player. Koristiš 40n kao streamer i kao power amp. Pošto si svakako hteo cd player to ti je odlična kombinacija

@@HIFIDaydreaming kod 40n kad ga prebacis u amp mode gasi se dac i striming. Morao bi 40n da bude klasican amp, a strim i dac da ide sa CD50n. Verujem da ta kombinacija funkcionise. Hvala za info i odgovore :)

Well theva is a successor to chora 806, i personally have not heard them but i am glad you like it.

It should be an ugrade, not certain in that combo how much of an upgrade but you should here some sonic upgrade with it. Thanks for continues watching if my videos man it is appriciated.

You are right, but what B&W does well, it does not have a rival in this price range.

Well that is the reason this review exist, to present two sonic alternatives. And give listeners a choice when they are choosing to buy a new amp. Really thanks for watching my review!

It could be, I have not done the comparison.

I am personally not huge fan of tone controls, I like to "fix" sound with right synergy and room treatment. But I understand what you are saying and how it helps.

@HIFIDaydreaming Synergy and room treatment don't make any difference at low level listening or to music that has been less than optimally recorded which is 80% of the music out there if not more and with all the equipment I own the tone controls can be bypassed but you can't use them if you don't have them.

@No-mans I kind of found out, that warm setups help with bad production. You are right as there is no harm into having them, and it does help a lot of people. I used to use them all the time, and latter evolved into eq-ing with my DAC. And yes, thank you for watching my review it is appreciated!

I have not heard it, so it might be...

A bigger and bolder older brother. If you read comments here, there are people comparing 5 and 7, and how they sound.

​@@HIFIDaydreaming Hvala! Sutra ću imati neke "demonstracije" 7s. Ali siguran sam da ću više voleti 5s

I prefer the 5s. The imaging seems much better.

@@markorchard2272 I agree man, less drives to do cross by default means better imaging. I really hope you will love your Dali oberon 5.

@@HIFIDaydreaming I really do!! I've just got Lissie's 'WHEN I'M ALONE: A PIANO RETROSPECTIVE' My 9000a/cdt/Oberon5s match this PERFECTLY. I have been an audiophile for years. I had an Audiolab 8000Q/2x8000Ms/Mission 753 combo. But these are better..... for now, my audiop[hile journey is over.... FOR NOW!!!😜

Hi Uros, Have you considered Musical Fidelity M3si or M5si? I think it would fit great, or if you want to make them more lively and energetic Rega Elex, or some 2k euros Yamaha amps. This are all better choices than Marantz which I would never recommend with Focals, at least not with Arias. You can also try Arcams A15 and A25, it could be good, but I am not a 100% certain with this.

Thank you so much, I am also glad that I am back, to create more content and express myself through this medium.

It is such a benefit with tube box, and any other tube devices, that you can constantly invest and upgrade them. Great choice!

I have done this review now a year ago, don't remember the details of it. But rega and all this "specialised" amps deserves extra care in partnering and synergy. To get the most out of it.

Oh, geez…apologies for the ridiculously long comment, but when you’re passionate about something, ya tend to wanna talk about it…lol

A bloody amazing post. Love your energy and expiriance with this carts. I hope that in future you will listen to even more great catridges. And thanks for watching my review it is appriaciated.

@@HIFIDaydreaming Hi there 👋 Thanks so much for the kind words. I wasn’t sure if I was overstepping my boundaries with too much information, but then again, the vid was based on cartridges of which I have experience with over the past 30+ years, so I’m am very familiar regarding and their sonic qualities. As of now, I’ve got approximately 30 carts I know pretty well, all mounted to headshells. There’s plenty I didn’t mention…lol One more thing (sorry…lol), FWIW, a lot of mono carts aren’t true mono carts, and the R + & L + are only summed together internally in the body of the cart. An easy way to make your own “mono” cart is to wrap some very thin copper wire around the R + & L +. By doing so, you’re just strapping the R + & L + together and just summing it externally instead of internally. There are some real mono carts such as the AT33MONO and I believe the Ortofon 2M mono, but not 100% sure of the latter. Stereo / mono switches on amps, preamps, or phono stages or even external switches can be used and they work. They just don’t seem to sound quite as good as a mono cart, IMHO. Using one assures that from the cart to the speakers, the signal is purely mono. Ok…and…..I’m done! 😂 Apologies for another long comment. Thanks again! Great video. 🔊⭐️🎶💨

It is much better than bronze. But regarding silver, i think treble and resolving power od bowers are better. But silver have a better bass, which makes the sound more grounded and a little bit less fatiguing. Even thou both are treble rich. I think both can really work well for edm and rock But edm should sound better on silver, while rock a bit better on bowers.

I don`t think you can go wrong with any paring regarding Musical Fidelity. Maybe I would avoid overly balanced speakers, but some warm or treble rich should do the trick. But I think every type of speakers can be accommodated by this amp. I never pair Dynaudio with MF, but they are very precise and neutral speakers. So the whole presentation in synergy with this amp are going to be neutral, precise and balanced. If you like clarity, and transparency from your sound it could work. But I would pair this with maybe some Sonus Fabers, some Polks or maybe Q Acoustics. But certainly Lumina 2, and Sonneto 2 are amazing synergy. And how could I forgot, a Wharfedale could also work well,

@@HIFIDaydreaming Thanks for your swift answer, Is cambridge 81 warm, soft amp if I pair with neutral speakers like dynaudio that I can get what I want. Lot of people saying that if it is too clear, sterile without warmth that you cannot listen music for hours. I have option cambridge cxa mk1 for 890€, cambridge cxa 81 mk2 for 1290€ and Musical F. M3si for 1390€. (Arcam A15 is around 1500€)I so much in doubt for my hi fi setup, because I want to pay less but I'm not shure can I get with cambridge what I want

​@@woodplay13 It is not that simple. you can listen all kind of system synergys, depending from your tolerance, pairing, room properties etc. Usually in my opinion neutral system is mot easily to listen. As it does not lean in part of dynamic scale. Second is warm combination, but in some cases if it is too warm, bass knows to punish the room easily and sound becomes vailed and sometimes unpleasant. Bright systems, or treble rich systems, are the most common instigators of fatigue as large amount of details, can overwhelm your brain. Now properly combined they can be awesome rhtmyics and clean presentation, which to be honest are not for super long listening seasons. If you want warmer sound, which will work great with dynaudio, than CA is your choice. I have not listened to CA81Mk2, but I had a lot of experience with mk1. And it has this nice warm sound, and if you prefere that than you choice is easy. But try to listen this somewhere in some demo rooms.

@@HIFIDaydreaming Good morning. First thanks for your detailed answer. Problem is for listening in demo rooms I need to drive like 400 kilometers to listen in demo rooms with equipment what we talk.Or 150 km to shop where they have Arcam amps, martin logan speakers and lot of other which are more expensive. Now I have samsung flagship soundbar q950a, for movies is great and when I switch of theater dobly atmos mode for music is also good (because I never listen true hi fi system). Seller recomended me this CA 81 mk2 for dynaaudio emit 10 because is doubling power into 4 ohms 120w. First I was going with rotel a11 mk2 50w 8ohms and 62w 4ohms and he said that this is not enough power to open full potential of that speakers even listening on low volumes. I didn't like look of rotel a12 model or a14 because of that ugly screen so I didn't go for it. Finaly he told me if I'm rock guy mostly I will not mistake with cambridge. + sub out if I want and they have great streamer ca or cx 100 which i plan to pair in future. So many reviews that cambridge a is good. But I need to listen what you said...And I also saw your review for for musical fieldity m3si....😅 hard decision for 2000€

@@HIFIDaydreaming also I forgot to tell you my room is around 16 square meters

It is incredible that all of your favorite artists start with letter B. Friend listen, this is my review and I spoke about music I listen. It would be very ingenuine if I spoke about matters that I don't know so much. I don`t listen much of classical music recently. Mostly I listen to neo-classical know from time to time. But I guess, in this sphere of HIFI reviewers there is a lot of reviewers that focuses on jazz and sometimes only classical. It is not a missing component among other reviewers, so speaking about music I genuinely love and admire, will always be more informative and precise.

I completely agree with everything you wrote.

Hi Eric, while I love integrated phono preamplifier in Denon. And I think it is better than in most phono's in this price range. Adding external phono preamp like CA Alva Solo will always deliver much better results. So answer i yes, it will improve the sound much more. But it will do one more thing, it will remove bottleneck if you once to decide to upgrade above Fluence and 2m blue your gear will be able to breath and show it`s talents far more.

@@HIFIDaydreaming very helpful! Thank you!

Maybe just solid state, cleaner and more precise sound is for you friend!

@@HIFIDaydreaming au contraire, I hate solid state sound but those solid state pro ject preamps are fantastic...and I am tube guy...

As you should!

Thanks Dave!

Would love that, Sonetto are one of my dream speakers to review(including KEF R3 among them). I don`t know when is it going to happen, as it all depends on my budget to buy them. But hopefully not in some distant future.

That is a bit of a hard question, as mc351 have it`s own preamp, which means that sound it self is build aroudn that preamp in that integrated amplifier. As I have not heard the 351, and don`t know how will be the synergy with P3. But in general, but I can not guarantee, there should be a improvement with separate pre amp almost awalys. Yes there should be preamp > mc351 > Speakers, butI don`t understand why would you loose optical connection to the TV if you connect preamp to 351. I was trying to find some resources online, about people combining this two, but i could not find. Sorry for this not being the straight answer you where hoping for. I might eventually buy 351, and review it, and I will than know more. :)

@@HIFIDaydreaming Ok, I understand a little better. I mentioned the optical input because the MC 351 has it, the P3 only has analog inputs, so since the P3 preamp is in the first order, I must connect it via RCA when I put it first. Thank you very much.

@@rubens2790 Aha, I understand now. So your preamp and amp are not responsible for any digital connection. It is DAC that does that. DAC which exist in your integrated amplifier 351, so it does not matter if you add Preamp to chain of your system. You will connect your TV via 351, same as you do now.
