Jj I agree Bluetooth is horrible for quality streaming.
my sonica is working well except Tidal has made a change in software so I can no longer use tidal . I’m going to Axpona so hopefully I’ll find a streamer dac under 2k that bests my Sonica.
Bluesound Node 2021 vs Cambridge CXN v2 sonically worth the price difference ?
I’d look out for the new Innuos Pulse Mini that incorporates Innuos’ latest thinking and gives you access to their Sense software that’s free and by all accounts gets high marks for both usability and sound quality and is constantly being upgraded and improved. And Innuos also offers excellent customer support if you ever run into an issue. https://www.tweekgeek.com/pulsemini/ Also, I believe you could add their upgraded linear power supply and get significant improvements and still be right near your price target or add it later when funds allow. https://www.tweekgeek.com/innuos-zen-mini-lpsu/ Hope this helps, and best of luck. |
i think it is very very hard, well nigh impossible, to evaluate how a streamer sounds at a hifi show lets say you hear a node playing in a bad sounding room then a cxn v2 being used in a nice sounding room is this sufficiently convincing to cross the node off the list and buy a cxn? i would not, could not... |
