| Looking at sub $200 power cables. Great input, thanks again everyone.The Pangea AC 9SE is 7ga but it’s about the same price, maybe a little higher, than what I see used/leftover 12ga Venom 3 pop up for from time to time. I think I have my mind made up at least on the AC 14SE for m... | |
| Looking at sub $200 power cables. Thanks,How important is it for me to go with 9ga over 14ga on my amp, AVR and Furman? As for my AVR, I'm only using it's amps for HT duty. | |
| Looking at sub $200 power cables. Thanks for the reply,I’ve been reading a lot and now I’m wondering if I’m spending too much for significant results in my setup? Do I even need to change the cord from my Furman to the wall? Pangea seems to have some very reasonably priced cords (... | |
| Node 2 and Yamaha AVR, go digital or analog? Thanks for the replies. I'm no DAC expert but the Yamaha's DAC looks better on paper. I guess I'll just have to play around with it. | |
| Streaming Tidal - What hardware is out there beyond the Bluesound How does the Sonica DAC fit in with the Node 2 and Aries Mini?https://www.oppodigital.com/sonica-dac/sonica-dac-Overview.aspxIs it Roon ready? | |
| Streaming Tidal - What hardware is out there beyond the Bluesound The Auralic Aries Mini would be your other choice in the $500 range that I’m aware of. I’m still on the fence on getting it or the Bluesound Node 2. There doesn’t seem to be a definitive answer as it sounds like they are both great products with s... | |
| Auralic Aries Mini or Bluesound Node 2? Thanks again for the replies and excellent info.Now I'm leaning towards the Node 2 after some more reading. I can get it for less which isn't much of a factor but the only advantages I see with the Mini is the smaller form factor and ability to ad... | |
| Auralic Aries Mini or Bluesound Node 2? Thanks jond,Yes, I agree it's all about the chemistry of it all. I guess I'm just curious of how that may happen and trying to learn as I thought with the DAC being last in the chain before his preamp it would have the final say in the sound. Shou... | |
| Auralic Aries Mini or Bluesound Node 2? Yes, I don’t understand why the sound improved in your setup by adding the V-Link into the mix? Wouldn’t just going straight coaxial out of the mini to your DAC be the same as USB being converted?The fact that the Mini’s power supply can be upgrad... | |
| Auralic Aries Mini or Bluesound Node 2? Thanks for the replies,I guess I don’t have to have Roon if the DS Lightning SW accomplishes what I need and that is to have some sort of management of all of my music wherever it is being streamed or local and being easily accessible via our devi... | |
| Best standalone music server? Thanks. Yeah I wish my Yamaha AVR worked with Rune (easily) and I could connect an external HD to the rear rather than the front panel. Would any USB->HDMI or coaxial digital convertors work? The Node 3 sounds like the way to go. | |
| Best standalone music server? Yeah, I’ve basically confirmed I can pull off what I want to do but wanted to ’think out loud’ a bit about it here to hear others with way more experience and knowledge than me offer any opinions or things I should consider before going this route. | |
| Best standalone music server? Forgive my technical inexperience but I’m in a similar position. I have a modest system with:-Yamaha 1060 AVR (used as preamp w/HT ability)-Parasound A23 HaloI want to add Rune and a have a something that can manage my digital content either Tidal... | |
| Looking for a used AUDIOPHILE AV Receiver I’d look for a leftover/refurb/used Yamaha 1050 and match it up with an Emotiva 2 channel amp (UPA-2, A300) and you could get close to your budget. Get some Belden 8402 cables to help stay around your budget. I just did something similar only I ha... |
