| MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote! Willemj, yes I see FLAC is lossless, my error. I have used AIFF files. Does anyone stream DSD or hi-res PCM files? I get the point about does MQA sound better. But that is very subjective, and more importantly I am looking at it as a streaming opt... | |
| MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote! Yes....for now. MQA seems to fire up alot of people. Many people hate this format because they lose bits. Many people don’t like a flawed format being shoved down their throat, even though Flac, a lossy format and downloads of hi-rez files are eas... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale? Speakers are very subjective. One has to LISTEN for oneself to make opinions about sound. Richard Vandersteen is an intelligent speaker designer, but a potential buyer must still have a LISTEN to his speakers before making judgements. Often times,... | |
| What is your listening chair? geoffkait- Yeah I like the sound, not changing the Poang. A few people here like the chair too, and bought one. Just noticed the other members chairs that I admire and find interesting.Would you like to share what you have, since that was the ques... | |
| What is your listening chair? So....you guys have some nice chairs. I like the Poang(s) but I am feeling a little inadequate now. | |
| What is your listening chair? Maybe another Chevy Silverado seat could be affixed to the audio room floor. That would be cool!!! Haha | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini Both the Aries and Bluesound have a strong following and neither one would be a bad choice. I think some give the Aries the slight advantage with SQ, but I have the Node 2 and it really sounds terrific compared to my CD player with a Benchmark DAC... | |
| Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna? +1 on the Line Magnetic Audio gear. It is stellar. I had listened to the Primaluna amps in my local AV Home Theater retail shop and the salesmen would not demo for me, just too interested in the home theater customers. I think it sounded great in ... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers A great quote about seeing- “We see what is behind our eyes, not what is in front of them”. Us humans make up, in our minds, what is beautiful. This process is cultural, part of your own personal upbringing, and what your aesthetics, bias, attitud... | |
| How Is MQA Fareing? Rodman99999- Good question about the inroads. I have noticed that on Tidal’s MQA masters there are more and more albums added every day. I have been listening through the budget Bluesound Node 2 and have noticed some albums sound truly fantastic, ... | |
| Integrated or Receiver? I have a friend who bought a RR 2160 receiver by Outlaw. He still has it and states it has been the best audio purchase he has made. Plenty of power, phono section and usb for Itunes or whatever HDD. I do not know if you can connect two sets of sp... | |
| Integrated or Receiver? I would go integrated. I think you have a tough decision. Many here will go window shopping for you to spend your money. It is difficult to fish out good suggestions from the hype or advertising on a piece of gear or even sugggestions. If I am loo... | |

I understand you only want suggestions for BestBuy and Amazon. I also understand why so many have wanted to suggest you... | |
| Newbie needs Streamer Advise “You would likely be happy with either or for 2k you can get both!”uberwaltz- A brilliant solution. If the OP does not like how both units fit into his hi-fi needs, he can sell the one he does not want. Both of these units the Oppo and Bluesound a... | |
| Newbie needs Streamer Advise buellrider97- I don't think you have a modest system, actually it looks like you have invested a fair amount of $$. I am sure it sounds great. About your question though, digital audio is a vast territory that is changing very, very quickly. More ... |
