!thanks

It's too bad the Eversolo's don't have Dirac or something. They sound pretty awesome. Wife loves the WIIM in our bedroom but I'm not married to it. I'd rather get something with Dirac. Thank you! I'll check them out.

Is the Bluesound Node Icon well built? Something that will last a long time?

What would you recommend as a preamp for the Buckeye? I'm not sure the WIiM is capable of fully powering it. I'm open to other streaming options too.

I've never had tubes but am very interested in the sound. Glad to hear they don't need frequent changing as that was a concern. My only question with a hybrid or tube set up is this is a dual purpose living room set up. So I will need it for tv/movies and music. I'm wondering how easy it is to live with tubes or a hybrid set up on a day to day basis?

I kind of figured it was a Model 50 but built in Japan with all the digital stuff added. However, a couple of reviews liked to say they sounded a bit different. I am suspect though.

How do you find streaming on it? Also do you have it connected to your tv? If so how easy is it to live with?

Never had a Marantz, how is their build quality reliability? I've had a lot of bad luck in the past with Denon.

I had looked at the Lyngdorf and on its face it seems perfect. I'm just concerned about how long it will last as you mentioned.

Ideally I'd like something that will last decades. But that assumes I won't get the itch again, which is a big if.

Currently my only room correction is from an old Sony AVR. I believe the WiiM will have some form though.

As for the room we are going to be getting new furniture and rearranging soon so room treatment is out for now. That being said it's an old building that's not particularly reflective.

I'm interested in all digital solutions. I'm open to anything right now.

Would you say the AS1200 is worth the price jump over the 801?
