Sonus Faber Olympica 1

Nov 29, 2022:
** Change the Audioquest X2 (14AWG) Speaker Cables to Audioquest Rocket 22 Cables (2 cables, each cable consists of 4 small cable), sounds better.

The Yamaha A-S2200 is connected to Sonus Faber Olympica 1 with Bi-Wired and Bi-Amping.

The Sonus Faber Olympica 1 base is enough. If need more base can add SVS SB-1000 Pro subwoofer.

The Marantz PM7000N now is using for streaming Tidal Hifi Plus, connected to Douk Audio U2 Pro via Ultraviolet Coaxial Digital A/V Cable.

I would rather have a very very good Bookshelf speakers than a Floor Stand speakers.
Because: refinement, darker background, more musical, image better, separation between instruments more refine.
No Floor Stand speakers is going to image better like a Bookshelf speakers.
If I need more base, I will add a good Subwoofer.

The Sonus Faver Olympica 1 is purchased from:
Perfect Hi-Fi (IOI Mall, Puchong)

Nice setup. I want to connect my Logitech z5500's to my macmini via optical but macmini dosnt have an optical output jack like it used to. I also have an SMSL SU-8 DAC. How i can connect them all together for optical output on my beautiful z5500's from my macmini ?. Can you advise me if Douk Audio U2 Pro will work for me ? Thanks

Did you encountered any problems connecting U2 Pro to the Ladder Schumann using i2s? I’m thinking of getting one.
