Thought it would be interesting to see everyone’s audio setup. I’ll start with mine.
Vintage stuff:
Hafler 220 amp and 110 preamp. Musical Concepts modified 35 years ago.
Luxman PD 284 turntable Ortofon 2m red
Canton Plus S satellite speakers with Plus C subwoofer.
DBX 228 decoder for the few DBX encoded albums.
Bunch of albums from the 60’s and 70’s
Bunch of CDs (nothing to play them right now)
New Stuff:
Wiim Pro Plus DAC for streaming Amazon Music. Ultra HD is amazing
S.M.S.L PL150 CD player on order. To be played through the Wiim via optical cable. Better DAC. Probably unnecessary since I can stream, but would like to be able to play my CDs.

I don't have a listening room. I use ear buds for when I'm outside, and some old Grado SR60 headphones for listening on my PC.
 
Is that a room where wives make their husbands sit down so they can explain how horrible her co-worker Helen is?
He's got a Bowflex in there. And some other equipment.

I have a newer Pioneer receiver with older Polk speakers. Right now, I'm using a Bluetooth to RCA dongle thing to get Amazon Music from my phone to the speakers. I'm curious about the WiiM Pro. Does that take the place of the Bluetooth dongle?

Yes it does much better sound

Wiim Pro Plus allows streaming via WiFi enabling the highest quality Ultra HD to be utilized. Bluetooth cannot handle that much bandwidth. My own experience is Bluetooth sounds great, but the sound stage is shallow and the subtleties of the instruments are lost.
 
Nice Klipsch speakers. What about the rest?
I had some first generation Klipsch Heresy speakers. Loved them but the wife didn’t. Sad to this day that they were sold.
These speakers are quite nice. RSL sub, great bang for the $

My system is all Fosi. Mono block amps (240W fan cooled), pre-amp and phono pre-amp. For source I have a nice Yamaha CD player, the WiiM mentioned, and an AT turntable with Goldring MM cartridge. All of Which I am very pleased with. I use all nice cables and 12Ga speaker wire.

I originally bought a Marantz integrated amp, it error-ed out and died, sent back and then returned to me. I didn't trust it anymore, so I sold it on eBay. (The Fosi gear sounds better, believe it or not)
