CD Transport VS Streamer
Thats hilarious.  I double blind / tricked myself on accident and have been listening with tone controls for God knows how long and actually prefer it.  Thats crazy. So much for being a purist. I always bragged about not needing tone controls and ... 
CD Transport VS Streamer
I figured it out.  I tried 4 other sources and they all sounded more similar to the cxc than different,I went into my tone controls on my bluesound and turned them on snd heard no difference, which was strange because my bass and treble were up 6 ...

Nope, nope, the bluesound is far better...The only other thing I could try is a different digital coax cable.  Thats the only thing I can think of at this point.  The digi cable plays nice with the bluesound but not with the transports...I’ll try ...

Okay, if I go in a different direction and rip all my files, whats the best way to go about that? 
CD Transport VS Streamer
Man, Im all over this already... its on rollers with added weight on top.I might be misinterpreting the rolled off highs and lows. The CXC may be cleaner and less distorted. The bluesounds bass is starting to sound bloated in comparison.I did a ca...

@lowrider57 , what a coincedance you mention that...I’m wondering if the power supply on the node is fine with a crap little cord but that the cxc needs better.I’ve got a crap power strip plugged into a crap a/c outlet (for both the bluesound and ... 
Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?)
I should add ghat I meant I don’t think his front end is the culprit in the brightness but it could be an impedance / current / power mismatch with the speakers and his front end.  I also have very little experience with tubes.

Interesting how many of us suggest lengthwise vs widthwise. I was also wondering if a lack of lows is contributing to the brightness.  You’d think though with how close he is to the back wall when setup widrhwise, he’s have exaggerated bass.  I wo... 
So what ever happened to Kinki Studio???
Man, I was close to buying that one for sale in mexico; it was about 3 weeks ago.  I decided against it because I just need to hang on to my money with the current situation of things.  I also have some Carrera BE’s.  I’m super happy with my set-u...

The issue you have with those bright sounding speakers is that they are bright sounding speakers!When are the Salks coming??

... and I quote “And last, I’m not saying that changing the orientation of your set-up is going to solve the issue you are having with bright speakers”

Oh, to add to the Fritz info, I’ve also been tempted to buy those Ls7’s for sale right now...  please, someone else buy them so I don’t have to eat Ramen for the rest of the year!He did switch to the SB Satori BE’s due to availability issues with ...

Hi George, I just tried a toslink... wasn’t that.I’ve actually been using the same cable and power cord between the node and the cxc so now discrepancies there.Is it possible that the signal coming from Amazon (Or any other service, tidal, qobuz) ...
