| Bluesound Vault 2i, Cocktail Audio X40 or ?????????? The Node 2i and Node 2 are akin to the Swiss Army knife of the audio world. Lots of choices for audio streamers, dacs, servers devices but not too many that do as many varied tasks, with as much versatility as the Nodes. With the Vault it’s like a... | |

| Bluesound Vault 2i, Cocktail Audio X40 or ?????????? Yeah if the OP tries the Vault 2, the ripping and labeling will be done by the Bluesound so no worries there at all. And BTW the Vault 2 does allow streaming just like the Node 2 does, of either your local network hard drive or such streaming serv... | |
| Bluesound Vault 2i, Cocktail Audio X40 or ?????????? If you go the route of the Node 2 and use whatever software you could potentially use with a cd ripper and hard drive make sure the file folders are set up for Bluessound to read, otherwise a lot of extra work is needed for each album file folder.... | |
| CD player recommendations for... +1 on Rega Apollo. I own one and really think the sound is neutral, extended range and the tonality of instruments seems accurate. I have the original and it has a buffer that reads and checks the CD before you hear it. | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? +1 eric_squiresNot sure why people are so juvenile and petty. Be positive, find other things in your life you enjoy if you think tube amps are ugly... | |
| TIDAL-Who knows what you are hearing? Don't Ask, Don't Tell. It’s really easy. By the steps..1. Try the service.2. If you like it, keep it.3. If you don’t like it, don’t keep it.Why make the choice difficult? | |
| Bluesound NODE 2 paired with Benchmark DAC 1? dbphd"2psyop, I doubt the Ayre Codex unfolds MQA. Neither my QX-5/20 nor DX-5 DSD do. They both show MQA from Roon as 96 kHz, with Roon doing the first unfolding. Charles Hansen was an MQA skeptic."Well good to know, guess I had not checked i... | |
| Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?. Wow. I have heard these are truly great speakers. Great choice. Don’t they come with some kind of room EQ device? I am sure you will really like them... | |
| Digital streaming options for my system are confusing Audiotroy- yeah that is good advice. Also, tricky how you offer great advice on the forum and can slide in a sales pitch for business. Arrogant, but I am sure you get a bite from time to time. Maybe you could pitch your customer service and terms ... | |
| Rookie, Considering Either Martin Logan XT60's OR Kef R700's Set Me Straight Folks!... Here is another tip to consider. Although many people find savings by buying speakers online, I find that a dealer can often help you, and offer much better customer service, especially with speakers. The additional cost is money well spent, if th... | |
| Rookie, Considering Either Martin Logan XT60's OR Kef R700's Set Me Straight Folks!... While you are waiting for other suggestions I think brian27b has given great advice. You could find another dealer in Nashua that carries the ML speakers and set up two listening sessions on the same day. One for the KEF and another for the ML. Ju... | |
| Bluesound NODE 2 paired with Benchmark DAC 1? Mahler123.No it does not. When I use it with non-MQA files I think it sounds better than the internal Node 2 DAC. When I play MQA files with the Node 2 (via Tidal) I think the Node 2 edges out the older Benchmark playing the non-MQA files. I reall... | |
| Rookie, Considering Either Martin Logan XT60's OR Kef R700's Set Me Straight Folks!... I can give you one bit of advice out of the gate. Take the time and effort to find a dealer and listen to both speakers. Have a plan, a list of your must have, wanna have characteristics and bring your own music. If you fail to plan, your plan to ... |
