| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini I wish some company would make a great streamer without a DAC, and pass on the savings to the customer. | |
| Goldenear Triton 1 vs Goldenear reference speakers. Finally a GE speaker that looks as great as it sounds. That was one sock worth losing. | |
| Budget Streamer for Tidal/no doc What a coincidence. I just posted similar thoughts on a good streamer with no DAC. I bet both Bluesound Node and Aries Mini could be half the price if they get rid of the DAC. Alternatively, they can build another model sans the DAC. | |
| How good is Blue Sound Node 2 in WiFi vs Ethernet connection vs external CD player? @wtf Sorry just saw your reply. I guess I should just get one and try it out. Magnolia Design Center carries this brand, so I can always return it if not completely satisfied.On a secondary thought, I wish someone can build a quality streamer wit... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters bo1972 - First of all I would like to thank you for posting such great, informative messages here. There are times when I have to read your posts at least thrice to fully comprehend the dimensions. At first I used to read them only twice, but then... | |
| How good is Blue Sound Node 2 in WiFi vs Ethernet connection vs external CD player? @wtf Assuming that you've done an A/B comparison between Apple TV and Node 2 in the same system, what aspects of the sound improved with the Node? There are not too many people who have used both the ATV and Node in the same system, so I'd be ver... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters I don't think it's just the Wilsons. There's a lot of hatred for B&W as well. | |
| How good is Blue Sound Node 2 in WiFi vs Ethernet connection vs external CD player? I find myself asking the same question regarding the Node, or any streamer for that matter. If you already have a decent DAC that you're satisfied with, why would a Node be better than an Apple TV or Airport Express, or any cheap streamer (Roku, e... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables I received my HC power cord (blue) yesterday, and immediately swapped it with the stock cord (Parasound A21). So, first things first .....I placed the order on Tuesday. Bob shipped it out the same day, and I received it on Thursday. Now that’s som... | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen After much deliberation, I decided to go with Cerious Technologies High Current PC. Will post my impressions once I get them and break them in for about 50 hours or so. | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen @oleschool - I would love to buy AZ Tsunami used, but so far I have only come across dealers selling new or demo for over $250. | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen @jayctoy Your recommendation of Pangea AC14 is definitely worth considering. I have narrowed down my search to the following four:1. Cerious Technologies GE power cord (most expensive, since only available as new)2. AZ Tsunami (around $280)3. Cull... | |
| I should have never .... @miner42 Not that I doubt your decision, but is it possible that you were just more comfortable (biased?) with what you already had? Its kind of hard for me to listen to Auditor Ms anywhere to make a comparison, anyways. | |
| I should have never .... Also, I forgot to mention that I'm not replacing my main rig. This is a new system that I'm planning to put together for my study. So far, here's the list I've compiled based on all the great suggestions here:- Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grands- Dynau... | |
| I should have never .... Folks: Just wanted to clarify that when I started thinking of building a smaller system for my study, I initially set a budget of about $3500 ($2000 for speakers and $1500 for integrated amp, both used of course). I figured that I could get used P... |
