| Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please! @norust @doodlebum Any updates that you can share. How do you like the conductor app? Any noticeable difference is sound quality? Any sense of a warmer sound or brighter sound? Thanks. | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing I am looking at the N150 (or N100). It is used alot at audio shows and is well made. The N150 will have great resell value if you want to swap it out in a year. Like others have said, I would spend in the 3's for a streamer and save the rest fo... | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! I am shopping for a streamer. Does anyone have any links to article or reviews that show the differences in steamer output that results in these night and day differences? Numerous of reviews measure distortion numbers for amps, DACs, and plots/cu... | |
| Bluesound Node N130 You have probably already done this, but mine was doing this and I unplugged the ethernet and power cable for 5 to 10 min and then re-booted it. It fixed it. | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? If one were to bi-amp with a tube amp for the tweeters and mids, and a SS amp for the woofers, how does one volume match the signals since these are different amps with different gain? Even if the same wattage the two amps might not be matched? ... | |
| Digital front end upgrade options I would use a node as a streamer only. The interface is stable and easy to use with Qobuz. I got a used on for not much money and it works great. I would then buy an separate DAC. | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? In support of what others have said, such as Carls, I have a 100 watt amp, and I bet I am only using the first 15 watts. I think where it becomes more confusing is when a passage has huge bass it or huge horn entry, does the amp have the ability ... | |
| Considering a Node2i, what else should I be looking at? I am happy with my node as a streamer only. I have not compared it with much, but it is better then my computer. I picked it up used for not much $. It has been generally stable. I use Qobuz. The amazon interface is not good although it plays fine... | |
| Best quality connection from Network Streamer (BluSound Node II) to Preamp (MC C2700) I have been pleased with the coaxial RCA output into my dac. | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops It goes back to what the majority of people want. Sadly, it is not quality 2 channel audio. Why is an entirely different topic. There are however, many more stores that sell the audio equipment people want - seems like every where sells bose, o... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? Mid-fi is what I can afford. Hi-fi is what I can't afford. | |
| Used PS Audio BHK 300 monoblock or (2) new benchmark ahb2 bridged? I don't have a PS amp, but do have the ABH2. It has been great. Lots of power and no distortion. It outputs what you give it. It also has some flexibility for going mono. IMO, it depends on what you want - if you want the amp to color or dis... | |
| Streaming protocols according to BlueSound Yep. And the sun is hot. : ) Joking aside, thanks for asking and sharing. Always good to go to the source. If you are in a youtube video and right click, there is an option for 'stats for nerds'. It will show the buffer health and how many... | |
| Adding an Sub that doesn't go well below speakers? @javipi I would check out the Rythmik subs as well. If I recall, they go lower then the REL (double check) and have servo feedback. | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? @recklesskelly "I would hardly call it persistence, more like trolling as this is the only subject matter he contributes to. And reading through his archives he is consistently chirping off on it." I have found that people who only speak on one ... |
