| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) Most often, whichever speaker one selects to be his/her favorite has much to do with the sound coloration they prefer. Some like bass heavy speakers, some like neutral speakers, some like lively, some like musical speakers, etc, etc...The real key... | |

| Should I buy a new cd player or DAC or both or neither? All the ideas are good from fellow audiophiles with regard to getting a streamer or ripper like the Sony, r2r ladder DAC and even new speakers. For sure, you could improve your sound tremendously with better speakers. Vandersteen, Magnepan and eve... | |
| Album Recommendations for Magnepans Ray Charles “The Genius of Ray Charles”. Also there are two ways to talk about an album. One is the traditional term “album” which refers to a record album that is played on a turntable. The second way of interpreting album is the generic way of r... | |

| Is my Cal Audio Sigma II too old? FWIW I have a Schiit Bifrost Uber and I really like Schiit gear. Having said that, I have bought a Bluesound Node 2 this year and I play digital files from my HDD via my wireless router to the Node 2, mostly ripped CDs. The DAC inside the Node 2 s... | |
| Looking for a music server, sans DAC. Hey Mesch, just a quick note. If you go with a Node 2 keep in mind that your HDD must be connected to your network. The Node 2 will connect wired or wireless to your router and have access to the music.If you have the time I had posted some info o... | |
| Looking for a music server, sans DAC. Mesch- I don’t have the Vault 2, I have the Node 2. I have been using Itunes to rip CDs using the drive on my MacBook Pro to a MyCloud NAS. The Bluesound Node 2 picks up my music via my wireless network at home. In my case I had to work on the alb... | |
| Need help selecting a system with Tidal streaming (Maybe MQA) and speakers for around $1k. One consideration worth noting. Once the decision is made to stream via Tidal, that is a $20 a month expense (discount for students or military). One should ask if it is important to explore all the music available, because that is one of the best... | |

| New CDP or standalone DAC...? Just to add a tidbit...I have two CD players in two audio systems. Both have an external DAC connected. One is a Rega Apollo with a Schiit Bifrost Uber and the other is an older Sony ES player with a Benchmark DAC1. Neither of these sound better t... | |
| New CDP or standalone DAC...? Somebody mentioned TAS. Actually, that is the last place I would look for unbiased objective info about any audio brand. You get better info here or even other audio websites that are not heavy with manufacturer specific forums. With some research... | |
| Bluesound Vault 2 now or wait for CES2018? +laltik and +jl35. The Ayre Codex is a great addition to Bluesound but at a higher price. Part of the allure of the Bluesound is mucho functionality or versatility and at a budget price. And if you don’t stream audio or you have NOT heard MQA, you... | |
| Vandersteen fans..need your input (TREO CT) If you have a somewhat dedicated audio room, I think the ideas of dweller and tomic601 are great. Clapping hands can lead to fixing echos and creating the dead room you want. If you are patient and very observant sitting very quiet in your room wi... |
