C658 had too much under the hood ! Just ditched my NAD C658 after a week of ownership being it was so buggy requiring numerous factory resets to unfreeze the unit. Heck, spent more time fussing with the thing than listening. Until the Mfg’s stop trying to be more profitable by jamming all this stuff in to one chassis with the barest of power supply’s with app’s they expect you to be their beta tester on, these “all-in-ones” are just going to be commodity / mass market items fighting for retail space on the shelves of Best Buy and the likes..
Bluesound node + INNUOS PHOENIX USB?
I have a Michi X3 with a Bluesound 2i and have been looking at a streamer update for a while. In the narrow selection are :
Auralic Aries g2.1 or
Innuos Pulse (no remote control, not yet available?)
From the features I'm excited about Bluesound, do I get the same quality as the above products with a new Bluesound + a USB Reclocker?
Glad to hear your opinion, thanks.
