The PecanPi+ is both streamer and a DAC, featuring the AKM4499 chipset, runs with Volumio, and is also Roon Ready. The Starkrimson Mono Ultra Premium GaN amplifiers output 250W/ch @ 8 ohms, 500w @ 4 ohms, and are 2 ohm compatible. Interestingly, Orchard Audio indicates that these are ANALOG amplifiers! The technical details are shown at: https://orchardaudio.com/starkrimson-gan-technology-implementation/ Recently, we have gotten excellent results from a single-pair of Eminent Technology LFT-8b speakers on Sound Anchor stands. John recently acquired a second pair on Sound Anchor stands and...well, you'll just have to come and hear the parallel-connected double pair for yourself! Please do go to the Orchard Audio website for lots of information including technical details and reviews. We hope to see you all Sunday for what should be an impressive meeting! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ |
