I’m thinking of this exact set up to slightly simplify. I’d be removing a Lehmann Black Cube SE2 as the phono stage for my MC cartridge. How do you like both the phono stage and digital side of the Brooklyn/SBooster?

I like Brooklyn Bridge a lot. You can find my old setup somewhere earlier in this topic, I was on a mission to simplify my system too. The digital and analogue preamp stages are excellent, I really can’t tell the difference between sources. I am using mine with a MM cartridge, though, I can’t speak for the MC stage.

Nice set up. I swear every time I see someone with an LP12 it just kills me that I ‘cheated-out’ 35 years ago when I bought my Linn Axis. I was 24 at the time and still a bit poor. I’ve gotten such great enjoyment out of that table but I really would love to have an LP 12.

Can’t edit my original post.

Recently upgraded both the computers power supplies to Corsair RM650x (550 sold out) they have lower ripple (noise than most power supplies). Also integrate capacitors in power cables to reduce feedback. It is not an LPS both both systems sound a bit more refined and open then before upgrade. The two power supplies were cheaper by 25% than one LPS so I took what I could get. Any people building their own systems check out Toms Hardware for reviews including ripple…on computer SMPS

Stay safe and enjoy the music.

That is a very nice system and I bet it sounds wonderful. The kind of setup I would likely aim towards if I ever went back to analogue speakers.

This is my update and final system :

Source = Mac Mini 2020 i7 (with 1T flash memory & 16Go RAM)
Softs Players = Roon - HQPlayer
Music streamer = Qobuz
Integrated Amplifier = Goldmund Telos 590 NextGen II
Speakers = Grand Cru Audio Essentiel
Sub = Goldmund active Trilogue Subwoofer
Cables = Goldmund Powercords - Entreq Olympus USB - Goldmund speaker HD
Power conditioner = Torus TOT Max
Stands = Partington heavi
Storage equipment = Finite Elemente Spider + ceraballs

Most SQ improvement with the Entreq USB Olympus. it corrects all the computer source defaults.

Gives new meaning to the word “final.”

Do you track the processor utilization and cpu temperature on your mac mini when using HQ Player? I have a Mac Mini similar to yours.
