Muzikmann Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Taptrick! Thanks for the positive feedback! It's nice to know that a Macbook pro and the Memory Player sound the same on the SX. ECDesigns have achieved something remarkable as this will save me money on a music server. I really like the simplicity of the SX, but I am looking at the Qualio IQ speakers which are 89db into 4ohms, so I am thinking the RX with a dedicated amplifier would work better. Link to comment

I’d recommend considering it, but only if that would be enough power for you. I would if it wasn't for the IQ speakers I am considering - I think 14W would be anemic for the IQ's which I have read loves lots of power. If I change my mind on speakers, I wouldn't hesitate to try the SX. Link to comment

So it's a case of think less PowerDAC SX and more Schiit Tyr levels of power. Yes, hence my consideration for the RX with a dedicated power amplifier. tapatrick 1 Link to comment

Bigger soundstage. 4. Incredible bass extension. @yogibear Very nice sounding with the tube preamp and amp. I think the RX with a quality amp and the Qualio IQ speakers would work well for me. I like the simplicity of the SX but the limits speaker choices. yogibear 1 Link to comment
