So this is my first real system. Nothing to fancy but so far I enjoy. I still have yet to get a more dedicated CD Transport or Player and better interconnects.

I have a tendency and attraction to sometimes go with things that are not as common, hence my choice with the Vincent Integrated Amp and Questyle DAC.

At first, I was worried the Vincent would not be a good match for the Martin Logan's or provide enough power, since the Logan's are 4 ohms. But I was quite pleasantly surprised that the Vincent provides good solid room filling power to the Logan's. I originally wanted to get the big brother SV-237 MK but it was a bit out of the price range. I think a little down the road, I am going to try a Vincent Power Amp and see how that goes.

For the DAC, as I was discovering more about high res music, I realized that besides converting my CD's to Flac and listening to higher res music through Qobuz, I really wanted to experience DSD and that search led me to the Questyle Headphone Amp/DAC with their claims of Pure DSD (no pcm conversion). So I gave it a chance. I use it strictly as a DAC, I do not really use the headphone functions. Now, I have not really had a chance to listen to other DAC's but I have to say, the music that I do feed it, sounds quite nice, at least in my opinion. Especially DSD. I am quite happy with it.

I went with the Martin Logan's pretty much because I was able to see them and hear them in person and they fell within my price range too. I also listened to some B&W's but still preferred the Logan's. I also liked the metal grille versus the soft cloth style grilles on almost all other speakers. 

My next upgrades will be a better CD Player or Transport. Leaning towards the Yamaha CDS1000 or Denon DCD 1600NE since I want to retain SACD Capability. 

Also need to upgrade to better cables (slowly but surely).

Thanks for taking a peek.
