Speakers sound too bright.
I agree with many here that your room is probably your biggest challenge.  I have the ML Motion 60's, and actually focused the other direction.  I added a pair of small, sealed Subwoofers (SVS SB-2000) and it was the best money I've ever spent on ... 
Experiences with Oppo Service?
Agree, this is strange considering that they used to offer double-boxing on their new units for a nominal fee.  It was standard on the 205.  Kind of sounds like they have out-sourced the service of these units.  Not good news considering I own thr... 
LAIV Harmony
@kereru, Assume you have received your LAIV uDDC by now?  What are your impressions, and how does it compare to the other uDDCs you own or have tried?  
LAIV Harmony
@sim_audio_nerd , Agree that not only does LAIV reply, but they reply promptly and honestly. It has been awhile, but based on the online reviews I read and watched last year, the majority preferred i2s to USB, so I am kind of surprised by Weng's ... 
Bluesound Node Icon
I am a 3-system Bluesound user as well.  It would be nice if Bluesound stepped-up their game and offered a product just under the the Innuos Zen Mk3/ Aurender N200 level.  Featuring i2s connectivity would make it very attractive.

With all the accolades I’m reading about the Harmony with i2s, I am trying to understand why companies like Aurender and Innuos do not offer i2s output.  Are they assuming that if you are spending $6-12k on a Streamer that you will also purchase a... 
LAIV Harmony
I'm really hoping LAIV knocks it out of the park with their new Streamer coming Q1 2025.  Opportunity to realized benefits of i2s as well.  
First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship
@sns Sorry if I missed it, but did you decide on an i2s cable you like with the Harmony?  
Can't get Bluesound Node to connect to DAC via iFi iPurifier2 ?
@audphile1 Show me a Node with USB Out.

No version of the Node has USB out.

@standardmodel This is how it should be done.  I hope American manufacturers are taking notice.  I’m still miffed about the lack of communication from a certain California/ Texas based company.  I had to return not one, but two of their flagship p... 
LAIV Harmony
@standardmodel  Have you received your new Input Board yet?  How did the installation go?  
LAIV Harmony
@kereru Thanks for clarifying "scales".  Also, good to know about UIP USB as I have only been targeting Streamers with I2S capabilities for future purchase.  
LAIV Harmony
@kereru  I am new to UIP USB Regenerators.  Can you clarify what you are referring to when you say "the LAiV scales a lot..."?  Thanks.

@nymarty Thanks for heads-up on twittering machines.  I was unaware. And another positive review, how about that.  I enjoyed Michael's perspectives on OS vs NOS modes.
