Beerfab Senior Member Posts: 51	Re: Rachael Reply #2 - 03/26/21 at 13:34:33 I decided on the SE34i.5 because I wanted a little more power. I thought the Rachael gave me a bit more flexibility and the price difference was small so I went that route.

I started with SE84CS 2 watter to prove out the low watt concept and ended up ordering a Rachel just because I wanted the extra juice. Very happy with it the whole set up, I run 807's in the Rachel and couldn't want for more. Keep us posted on your progress and how it all comes together. Happy listening, Chris.

Bilyeaux, I am in Austin. I am actually reducing my sources. Trying to simplify a bunch. I just bought a Gustard DAC that has extremely good measurements and I am building a Rasberry Pi streamer to pair with it that has IIS output for the DAC. I will be running a pair of Blumenstein Tritons with the Rachael. I am also looking at building a set of open baffles with the Lii F15 driver too.

for the streamer I am using a pi 4 with a Pi2 AES HAT board that has balanced, USB, RCA, SPDIF coax and optical, but most importantly it has the I2S output that I can connect to the Gustard X16 DAC. I believe your PS audio DAC also has I2S but I think the channels are swapped. Pi2 has a work around for that though.

Audio Science Review has a great review on the Gustard X16 DAC, it is rated as the second best DAC Amir has tested.
