| Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk.. +1 on glennewdick comments. I ripped all my CDs onto a HDD and use a streaming device for Tidal and Spotify. That enabled me to keep all my bought music and explore all the new music Spotify and Tidal have to offer. I may even buy a year membershi... | |
| Music Server - The Search Begins There are many reasons the Bluesound system was right for me. First it is, for the most part, budget audio gear. I paid $499 for my Node 2 and it has punched way above my expectations. Secondly, it is very versatile allowing me to listen to my dig... | |
| Help me pick from my sub-$1200 shortlist One thing to mention... when looking at speakers consider who is responsible for engineering/designing them. There are very well known and expert people who understand how to do this. Andrew Jones, Richard Vandersteen, Jack Oclee-Brown, Vince Bruz... | |
| Going Tidal, Need ??? If you just plan to simply stream Tidal.... +1 the Node 2. If you want to rip CDs or explore digital audio there are other choices. I would add that the Node 2 (potential choice) would leave you approx. $1400 leftover to get a better DAC to attach... | |
| Music Server - The Search Begins mahler123Thanks for the clarification on the Vault2. I had thought that maybe the USB connection was not intended for accessing external files on a HDD or NAS. I use the BluOs app on my tablet, phone and computer to get to the NAS folder to play e... | |
| Music Server - The Search Begins It is interesting to me that the Bluesound Vault does not allow for an external HDD for additional music. I have the Node 2 with no ripper or storage and it allows me to access a Western Digital MyCloud NAS drive with the ability to expand my stor... | |
| Help me pick from my sub-$1200 shortlist In that case I would look at (listen to) a pair of B&W PM1’s. With stands... great clear sound. | |
| Help me pick from my sub-$1200 shortlist +2 on the Vandersteen 2 and you might be able to find the 2CE Sig or 2CE Sig II. for that price range. | |
| Aretha Franklin RIP Enjoy this...https://youtu.be/Dzr1ekZyOIA | |
| Aretha Franklin RIP Very sad indeed. There are a very, very small handful of musical artists whom have contributed so much to music. She crossed many genre, from blues to jazz to soul. Such a huge talent and what a signature voice. She will be missed but yes we have ... | |
| Streaming: From MacBook Pro to Bluesound Node 2 BTW I have run a digital out from my Bluesound Node 2 to both Benchmark DAC and a Schiit DAC and both sound much better than my MBP. Even the internal DAC within Node 2 is much better than the MBP. | |
| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? It’s a fair question. But to me it says more about you than you might think. Some want the best and strive, continually and without rest, to find the best. For those who spend thousands upon thousands of dollars I find it a waste. Perhaps one coul... | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G Fremer- His opinions are bought and paid for. IMHO | |
| Better CDP or network player? Good decision. I think it is best to enjoy audio the way “we ourselves” do so. I have two CD players in two systems and although I have streaming, I would not give them up. Like you I like the KISS factor of them. Easier to setup and enjoy than a ... | |
| Streaming: From MacBook Pro to Bluesound Node 2 Given the fact the Bluesound Node 2 was designed and built as a music server only, I would say yes. The Apple computer was designed for many functions, but playing music was not a main one. Plus, the digital out on the Node 2 was designed, once ag... |
