Bluesound Node 2 vs. Node (2021)
You could? just spend the money on a better external DAC than what’s in the Node (2021). That would enhance the sound (other than MQA albums) unless you bought a more expensive DAC with MQA. All that depends on whether or not you already have a q... 
Anyone have experience with Willsenton tube amps or specifically the R800i (92lbs)?
Thanks for for the informative replies. Happy Listening to all.  
Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile
I noticed when I rolled in some NOS Sylvania tubes the Freya + sounded much better. It sounded very good with the stock tubes, but the NOS tubes improved performance noticeably. It replaced a SS Parasound preamp which was no slouch. In terms of ov... 
Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit?
noske good points all around. I suppose a certain level of snobbery can be found with other "things" other than audio ie clothes, cars, homes etc. But in the end, live and let live. Whatever someone wants to spend on audio does not really affect m... 
Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else?
Musical Fidelity M6si500 as mentioned earlier.  
Sub Decision
I bought two Rythmik F12SE (GR-Research paper drivers) and I really think these fsub woofers added a fast bottom freq to my speakers. Good Luck!  
Understanding MQA/tidal/ DA conversion
No problem with Qobuz but I have tried Tidal MQA and with many recordings it sounds great, really great. But not all MQA recordings sound great. And as others have mentioned you must have a DAC to fully unfold the MQA file. That's kind of a pain. ... 
Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else?
The A21 is much, much better that the A23 and will drive your speakers... no problem. The A21+ is an upgrade for sure but not worth the extra cash IMO. The JC5 is in another league but still not dual mono . I like the advice by erik to try other a... 
Upgraded McCormack DNA-1 or Dennis Had Inspire SEP?
Not trying to interfere in your quest but I have a Line Magnetic tube amp I luv and if I were looking into another integrated tube amp that had awesome bang for the buck and gave me the ability to get warranty work in the USA I would look hard at ... 
Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit?
Yeah what I like to do is buy equipment for $50k and think it sounds 100 times better. I like to buy into hype. There is nothing more satisfying to me than to buy an audio system more expensive than my house and try to get someone over to listen w... 
What about the floor?
Take up golf for better sound.... hmmmm. What a great idea!  
Ohm Walsh Talls (opinions sought)
This guy really likes them. Might be a fresher perspective..    
If money was and was not of any concern when buying speakers.
A little bit different. The rest of the money to help house and feed people in need. https://voltiaudio.com/vittora/    
Sad to say I need a new amp…
Good news. Glad you found a solution to your amp problem!  
BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone?
I agree with all posters who say wired is the route to go. Unfortunately Bluesound has not really been successful at making these products "wireless" without many glitches. I have both the Node and Vault and they work great wired.
