Seeking opinions and suggestions. I have the chance of buying an Antipodes Oladra or a Melco S10. Very hard work to get the money, would hate to make a mistake. I would really appreciate your advice.
For reference, I listen 100% digital Redbook and Qobuz, have a good network with fiber, audio switches in cascade, external power supplies and clocks. Except the server and the DDC, I buy everything used. Use the best interconnects i could afford. Dedicated electrical with Nordost conditioning. My current source is a Zenith MK3 + Audio GD DI20HE (DDC) going to Verity Monsalvat Pre/DAC, MBL N15 monoblock amps and MBL 116 speakers. I have a love/hate relation with Roon since I noticed it degraded sound quality. Now using Sense app. Open to use any reasonable software that gives me the best possible audio quality. If you read until here, thank you already!
