| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? I was 15 when a friend and I were standing in the speaker room of one of a bazillion audio shops outside of Detroit in the late 70's. We smiled at each other when a pair of Micro Acoustics Pro 3's sounded better than it's big brother the Pro 2's,... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Interesting regarding the Veritas Optimus 50 and 100, Veritas states "Different looks, different internals, but the same performance and the same price." Why would anyone purchase the shorter cable if this is accurate? | |
| Will Bluesound ever offer Qobuz Connect compatibility @gkelly, I agree with your analogy. I have three Bluesound products, and they are allot of bang for the buck. I think that there is an opportunity in the market at the $3k level for a Streamer with very good power supply, clock, and i2s output. ... | |
| Will Bluesound ever offer Qobuz Connect compatibility "...we have a large multi year project that is coming to a close soon." Could it be that Bluesound is finally bringing an upscale Streamer to market?? That would be cool. | |
| I2S Recommendation @nglazer Thank you for the tip on the Red. I am developing a list of Streamers that can output i2s to my Harmony DAC. I was looing forward to LAIV's Net2 Streamer but began loosing hope when it was not making appearances at recent shows. Now LA... | |
| I2S Recommendation @nglazer May I ask what Streamer you are using with your Harmony? | |
| Klipsch and Capacitors @maprik , I have to ask. How did a pair of KG4s go unused for 40 years? I have 2 pairs BTW. | |
| I2S Recommendation @v-fi , Thank you for sharing your cable comparison. It appears that the DH Labs appeals to allot of people - especially for the money. I have not found much feedback on the Voodoo. Do you recall what your impressions were regarding the Voodoo ... | |
| I2S Recommendation @sns Congrats on your Ximius. I've read many acalades regarding the Concentus, but have not found much regarding the other Tubulus i2s cables. Other than being "top-of-the-line", what did you learn that led you to the Ximus? Has anyone tried th... | |
| Streaming TV Through Oppo UDP-205 @mahler123, You are correct sir. I posted here and on AVS Forum as well. I have learned that PCM is limited to 2-channel, and that SPDIF is limited to 5.1 channels. I have tried for years to send audio from my TV to the Oppo via HDMI. but it w... | |
| Best RCA Digicable For the record, the Harmony does not "input only RCA". It features i2s, Optical, and USB inputs in addition to Coax. i2s is preferred if your streamer allows. | |
| Bluesound node confusion Also, I believe that from N130 (Node 2021) forward, USB 2.0 available as output. This can be a big deal if your outboard DAC prefers USB over SPDIF or Toslink. | |
| DDC or Better Streamer? @mdalton The LAIV uDDC does not have an optical input but the Hermes does. I have 3 systems with Bluesound Streamers and Oppos in them, and none of the Bluesounds have USB outputs. Therefore, I require SPDIF and Toslink inputs in a DDC to get th... | |
| DDC or Better Streamer? @sns Interesting concept. I'm not currently using Roon, but if I add a different Streamer and want to continue to use my other Bluesound products, I may have to. Adding a Hermes is indeed intriguing as it appears that in addition to it bei... | |
| LAIV Harmony @mbolek From what I understand, I Harmony NET2 Streamer was not at AXPONA 25. This is not encouraging considering it is due for release in Q3 of this year. |
