| Is it all worth it? @polkaloverYes, the ritual is a large part. I always tell those looking to get into vinyl that if they don't enjoy that, they won't like vinyl. Then there is the fact that you have an album cover with art and notes that don't require a magnifying ... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @nuttyI First saw them on Austin City Limits about 15 yrs ago. Fell in love with every aspect. I have all 3 of their album. All good. Good Day is fantastic. I wish they had recorded more | |

| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @big_gregI love my vinyl but I am 69 yr old now. There will come a time where I won’t feel like doing the ritual which goes with vinyl. Digital is easy...even CD is easier than vinyl. But CDP’s will be extinct very soon. Streaming is the trend.Whe... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @bicuThis was written in 2013. Is it valid? Digital keeps changing and we learn more every day. . The CEO of Aurender disputes this I believe. | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? Friends, Thanks for all the info. One thing I think is missing is that most of you probably have not looked at my system. It is listed here on A’gon (though w dated picys). But that may be something that most don’t know about. So here it isTeres 3... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @whatsthatbuzz I don’t understand why a streamer would provide better sound than an iPhone Just like all phones are not equal, all streamers are not equal. I’m an old guy and I HATE these little phones. More precisely I hate that people think the... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @ big_gregThose 2 have risen to the top of the list. I just learned I don’t need the vault. I have a new PC. Ripping to Flac is simple in Win 10. So to celebrate my new learnin’ I’m gonna buy a new set of power tubes for my amp. This is the last d... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @big_greg if you want to get the best sound quality, consider something other than the Bluesound line. Investing in something with a better DAC will have more of an impact on sound quality than whether the files are stored on a spinning hard drive... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @uberwaltzI think majority of members here who refer to streaming really mean accessing an online music service over the internet.Like Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify etc. I believe you are right. I've been in the analog realm for so long I don't know the ... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @wsitsw All I use now is the streamer and a LUMIN server that has ripped FLAC files on it. I believe one of my problems is the terminology. Please define streamer and server as used in the sentence?FWIW I will only be playing files from my Hard ... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @uberwaltzI got this idea from Aurender CEO in a interview. He does not let hdd do the playing. OK for storage, but hdd hands off to SSiD for play. Thus the question as to whether the vault has ssid and therefore a better player? https://www.audio... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @lalitk As many of us pointed out, you can get a Vault 2i (if you wish to rip your CD’s) or Node 2i as a start up device and add a DAC later on. I am still on that track. As I have said I am getting tired from the research and have been taking ... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @big_greg. I’ve been as big a skeptic as anyone about audio voodoo and extraordinary claims. Then one day I put my $$$ down ($180 iirc) on an Oyaide power outlet. I felt stupid for spending the $$$. But it proved its worth. I have DIY tweaks which... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @witswWindows. Son tried for years to get me into mac, thus the M4a files for Ipod. Hated Itunes. It took up every resource on my PC. I couldn’t run anything else with it running and I am a RAM man (Always more RAM) @audioguy85I’ve been playing re... |
