Thanks, Owen.
I have not tested the M1.1 in stereo mode, nor can I as it requires a optional stereo input board.
I wish I could, it would help to inform me how a single M10 would do in my system.
Very nice report, Lloyd. Having heard Ron's system a month ago (almost to the day) over the course of a few days I have plenty of context and enjoyed reading your thoughts.
Two occasions where I experienced this come to mind. One was a CD of Mabel Milan (solo nylon guitar) where there appeared to be much more details/harmonics than I've heard before. Ron's digital came across slightly anemic in the midbass/lower mids so that might explain it.

There's no question that Ron's room is WAY better than mine. The width of his soundstage allows music to scale when it should and still sound intimate when it should. In my room, I'm limited in this respect and orchestral music soundstage is nowhere close.

It's one of the most frustrating things about audio when you want it all!
At one point, I hooked up all my CH components to my LAN and bought an Android tablet to control everything.... but it's just not necessary.
I never use it anymore. Also, I like to listen in the dark sometimes and the lights from the ethernet controllers on all the CH equipment drove me nuts.
Hi Mike, I appreciate your comments. I think I was disappointed that the strings didn't sound that good (it's been a few weeks now and so I'd have to go back and remind myself). I think they still had that typical hard DGG sound that I'm pretty familiar with and feel is just not realistic...
