Very sweet set up there.
Source: Heavily modified DDDAC using MacBook Pro.
Amplification: Pre amp-Stereo Coffee pre amp on steroids.
Power amp- Rather large Colin Wonfor Class A power Amp
Speakers: Lampizator P17 Open Baffles
Accessories: Klotz 500 DIY Interconnects & DIY speaker cable sounding better than anything commercial.
All powered from a Mother Trucker BPS with a dedicated consumer unit with 10mm armoured radial back to the house tails after the meter.

Ooo - a Meitner DAC- nice, you very rarely see those. Said to be very special.
Impressive and interesting amp, too.
LVs are a Marmite thing.
What source(s) do you use?

I've only had the Meitner for a couple of weeks and I'm really liking it.Originally Posted by jandl100

I'm currently using a Cyrus CDT but I also have a Perreaux CDt and Bel Canto CD3t but they are a bit temperamental. I've got a NAS and am going to get a streamer in the next few weeks.

Nice, very nice
If there is a pre-amp in on the amp, try your Ayre into it, you might be surprised by what you hear.

I tried running the Ayre pre into the pre-in on the Triode and the results were interesting but to be honest, I much preferred running the Triode as an integrated amp. The sound was a bit wider and cleaner but I lost the life and bounce in the sound.

Triode TRV-845se
Nice Triode TRV-845se. I've been toying with the idea of those or their KT88 monos. Are you able to compare them with any other power amps?
