    Just wondering if anyone here has heard the new (genuine) Onix amplifiers? - https://www.onixdna.com/ns

    I like the styling and it looks very nicely made. However, the reviews I have read have been very lukewarm - which is rare these days when most reviews are just different levels of rave!

    What’s your system atm Shane...and what’s not doin’ it for you mate?
    Direct approach always works best!

    Important to realise that it’s taken a lot of us years to get our systems to where that are now...and a lot of us (me included!) can’t remember if what we had before was really that much worse!
    Lots of threads on here and elsewhere about guys getting rid of their multi box Naim stacks for Rasberry Pi setups.

    Thats gotta mean something.
    All about the music...not the equipment.

    Just sayin.

    Can I ask what you are currently using Shane ?

    I think you mentioned some interest in trying the Naim SN/2 ? or XS2? both of which I'd recommend...

    System set up is typed in my profile. It's budget level, but decent!

    So that's Denon DCD-710AE with a Denon PMA-710AE along with Dali Spektor 1's using Van Damme cables ?

    It's certainly 'budget level' I guess but if it sounds ok that's all that matters
