In Reply to: RE: ARC LS27 - mistake to buy for my application? posted by Charlie8521 on January 28, 2017 at 06:29:50
I have a couple thoughts on the topic. Not meant to offend but...
- You're not getting the most out of your equipment now given the limitations of streaming less than CD quality via Spotify.
- Based strictly on my experiences with the older LS25mkII vs LS16mkII (both similar in design), I'd say you probably won't hear much of a difference between the LS17SE vs the LS27. They are also very similar in design.
So if I had some extra coin burning a hole in my pockets, I'd look to improving the source files, streaming service, and source components before buying a similar linestage to what you already have.

And I would upgrade the DAC too. Shiit's Bifrost is good but if you are digital only Charlie you need a better DAC.
Remember in any mode your sound is only as good as the source recording.

Another good point which I've been thinking about. So I have asked myself is it good item to buy that I will be pleased with, or do I have some Winter Blues and I'm just looking for something to buy to fill an emotional need/itch? The unfortunate dynamic is that the specific LS27 I'm looking at will only be available for just so long before someone else takes it. Hummm. I tend to set drop dead dates for activities. So I've already scribbled down Tuesday as a date to make an offer or settle back down. I don't think it will be a bad decision, but concerned maybe not the best. Thank you for the input.
