• Tooled up with this lot for my assault on streaming music quality.
    Cambridge Audio DACMagic 100
    Optical cable to connect Chromecast for when I’m just around the house
    USB Audio (printer!) cable for direct connection when I’m working on the kitchen and sitting in the sweetspot
    Ifi Silencer USB noise filter
    Tidal subscription
    Swapped out Mordaunt Short M10s for Monitor Audio Bronze 2.

    Sounds great, properly musical now. Can’t seem to get the Chromecast to operate at 96khz but need to play with the settings. Cable connection is unsurprisingly much better. Obvs those little M10s were a weak link before, they don’t sound much better than mini system speakers. The Monitor Audios are temporary while some smaller BR1s are in the post.

  • Do be careful running an amp inside a cupboard with the door shut. I managed to overheat and consequently destroy a Cambridge Audio Amp that way. I had taken to running it 24/7 though, which is lazy.
