    I think you have maybe solved the problem of the endless upgrade bug. Buy a bunch of components so that you can switch in/out and mix and match different components whenever you get bored.

    Challenging claiming it's THE system for 2023. I cannot even promise how my system will look 2 weeks from now 😆

    • @HiFiHuff
      @HiFiHuff  Год назад +2

      Not really a challenge. Speakers are set. DAC is set. The amp is going nowhere (just like the pass that’s been here two years now). The only change might be a luxman phono pre but that may not be able to be done in 2023. I’ll have reviews or other amps in but they will not be my own. Have a Michi X3 arriving today for review, it that has to be sent back. The system as you see it here is mine, not review units that come and go. I also have a few other DACs, speakers and amps that I own but they do not sound as good as what’s in now. Therefore, this will be my reference set for 2023. Thanks and have a great day.

    Fantastic setup. Really interesting speakers... I've actually never heard of them until just now (which is odd, because I've been into audio for nearly 40 years! ). Lux and Pass are among my faves, too. Nice to have the options of owning multiple amps (I do the same, but on a much less costly level). Great vid! (and I love the dedicated room you've made as an extension of your house).
