I believe we have the same opinion with regards to what constitutes a good quality recording.

The 4K Firestick is a very capable little device. I was very impressed with how much it’s improved over the original.

I will have two sources hooked up to the actives. An Axiomair transformer which will allow for my flac files, Spotify Connect, multi room audio and also serve as my pre. For when I want to sit down and be more deliberate about my listening I have a respectable turntable setup. It’s probably more than I needed but it creates an environment where you can’t do 10 things at once, like you can when you’ve got Spotify playing in the background. The whole purpose is to sit back, preferably with a nice drink, disengage from all the distractions and enjoy the music.

Thanks for the links, that’s great information!
