Personal Preferences: I am looking for non-fatiguing, warm, musical qualities. The Man, Sleeping with Sirens, etc.), older rock (e.g., Rush). Music styles: acoustic, Indian classical (sitar, srangi, flute), alternative rock (Portugal. My music will be stored on a local Linux server as stated above. I donвЂ™t use streaming services that much. I donвЂ™t have any SACDвЂ™s yet, but I plan on purchasing more high quality music once I have this system set up. Music sources: CDвЂ™s, lossless music files stored on computer and MP3вЂ™s when thatвЂ™s all I have available. In case it is relevant, I do own a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 and thatвЂ™s what IвЂ™m using right now with the Yamaha A-S801 integrated amp.

After I buy it IвЂ™ll probably have questions about getting everything set up. In this post I mainly want to know what to buy. The HQPlayer page has this helpful hardware list that will be a starting point. I envision I will use either HQPlayer or Roon, and IвЂ™m leaning toward trying HQPlayer first. I have two amps: Yamaha P5000S power amp and Yamaha A-S801 integrated amp. I will be buying speakers, a DAC and maybe a few other things (e.g., a Network Audio Adapter ('NAA') if it isnвЂ™t built into the DAC).
