I'm listening to Qobuz
Through an Apple Express
Into a Beolab 2
And onto a pair of Beolab 3s.

First time I've ever had B&O stuff, I bought it mainly because it looks nice but there's no doubt it sounds as clear as a bell.... And the sub is 850w. smile

I have some Naim in the loft.

Nothing fancy, I'm a headphone user foremost and listen at my PC.

Spotify
MSI motherboard onboard sound; Yes I know getmecoat but it's actually very very good, onboard is rarely poor on high-end boards these days. Top quality components, can cope with hard to drive cans, zero perceptible noise.
Audio-Technica MSR7
Samsung M3 multiroom speakers

Portable;
Sound Magic E10
Xiaomi Mi5 phone; impressed with the output on this, the E10s sound far better than my previous LG. I'll have to see if the MSR7s are found lacking at all, in my experience on a phone they lose width, highs come down a bit and less defined mid range as is probably expected.

I thought about getting an external DAC/AMP but there'll be little improvement at my price range, I fancy dabbling with a small tube amp though. I have a comfort issues with the MSR7s and have persisted with them for a year, as much as I like them I think it's now time to get rid. I'm considering A990Zs, or move away from reference-like to Meze 99 Classics.

Budget system compared to most of this thread... Bit of a mix and match setup (and most of it 10+ years old) but hey, it works and gives a nice natural sound.

PC + Foobar
Onkyo TX-SR503 receiver
Yamaha NS-8390 fronts
Wharfdale Diamond 9cs centre
Yamaha NX-S120 surrounds (the obvious weak link, next on the upgrade list)
Wharfdale Laser 90 rears

Listening to the TV system at the moment 'cos I'm in my comfy seat; can't be fussed to get up and turn on a shed load of power amps for the active system.

Front speakers are Duntech Marquis thumbup, rears are Kef Coda 7s and the centre is my own design. Source is a Minix Neo8 android box; streaming Chill FM. There's a newish Yamaha surround amp in there somewhere too.

Just to bring this down with a bump:

Spotify on my desktop
Lepai LP-2020a 20W Amp
Morduant Short MS302

However I am about to disasemble it and put the speakers as rear speakers for my av reciever, just checking they work after winning them on ebay.

Probably the first honest answer though. Is no-one else - RIGHT NOW - listening to an mp3 on their phone via cheap earphones, or Radio 2 on a paint-stained boom-box in the garage, or YouTube via their laptop's built in speakers?
