Downsizing to Fidelizer Nimitra/Nikola, Bad Idea?

[greg788]

Domestic Harmony for a pending amplification upgrade necessitates reducing the overall box count.

 

Currently I have: Sonic Transporter I5 with Teddy Pardo PSU, Ether Regen, Optical Rendu with Sonore Audiophile PSU. That's 5 boxes, kind of crazy.

 

I'd like to go to the Fidelizer Nikola + Nimitra = 2 boxes

 

Will the sound quality suffer? I play music via Roon (Tidal streaming) or lossless stored on SSD inside the I5. I'd plop a thumb drive with the same music into the rear of the Nimitra, done

Oh look ... an old posting not answered.

 

I get the impression that if you went down the Nimitra route the sound you get will be "better" and not worse.
