| 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. | |
| DDC or Better Streamer? @baylinor Ok, I think you are telling me my system is not good enough to reveal benefits of the better Aurender or Innuos Streamer. @mbolek When I was researching the LAIV Harmony DAC, the majority of reviewers preferred i2s with it. @curiousjim... | |
| DDC or Better Streamer? @baylinor Are you saying $5k new or used? When I say $3k used, I'm thinking something like Aurender N150 or Innuos Zen Mk3. @kofibaffour When you say Streamer that is also a DDC, are you referring to Streamers with i2s inputs? I was hoping LAIV... | |
| LAIV Harmony @alvin1118, I don't believe that you had the LAIV Harmony Net2 on display at the show. Is it still scheduled to be released during the third quarter of this year? Are you aware of target price? | |
| Streaming Tidal/Qbuzz Vs Internet Radio On RP's website, you can control the stream rate on your computer as @buellrider97 mentions above. However, when streaming on a Bluesound device with RP pre-loaded, you have your choice of MQA or CD quality. Per my previous comment, my DAC (LAIV... | |
| Streaming Tidal/Qbuzz Vs Internet Radio @buellrider97, FYI I have noticed the same thing on all three of my systems, which are vastly different other than all having Bluesound Streamers. Radio Paradise also has wider and deeper soundstage. According to my DAC, RP sample rates never ex... |
