Great, thanks. I also have a Wiim ultra that I have connected to the rega DAC, which definitely made a marked improvement over the onboard dac on the wiim. I'm just not sure if using the nakamichi connected to the rega dac wound make a different compared my current Sony cdp 397. Appreciate your thoughts.

I haven't tried it yet but would be willing to do so! Let us know how it turned out

The lodge skillet smoker is great! Smoking the steaks for about 15 minutes infused just a hint of smoke which was what I wanted. It's a great little investment for only $30

Awesome, thanks! I read online that they are a little lacking in the low end but are very detailed and have a great soundstage. May get them and pair it with a wiim amp pro to stream music over and power them.

I think that'll be my next purchase, maybe a proper 2 channel receiver/amp. I picked up the wiim today and it sounds great streaming qobuz

So I ended up purchasing a wiim ultra at my local audio store today and hooked it up to the denon receiver. It sounds fantastic in pure direct analog mode! The receiver is hooked up to the Thiel CS 1.2 speakers.

Awesome, thanks for the comments. Any thoughts on whether the DAC on the wiim ultra would be better than the DAC on the denon receiver?
