| The new dynamic in speaker pricing Put any of these upper six figures speakers in an average room and my bet is my $18,000 speakers in the house of stereo will make them sound silly. Meaning you would be better off spending low six figures in building a proper listening room first ... | |
| 2-3k budget - adding DAC/Server to Bluesound Node? Check that. The I2s connection is for my CD transport to dac. Streamer to dac is UBS DH Labs silver sonic. Still about same price. | |
| 2-3k budget - adding DAC/Server to Bluesound Node? I have no library, so I don't need a vault. My bluesound Node N130 is connected to a Gustard x26 pro dac via audioquest carbon 48 I2s connection. Total for both would be about $2,000. Doubt you could do any better for that amount of money. Mine so... | |
| Euro Tumble The shipping will eat up any savings you do via currency on heavy items. However, for vinyl and CDs on discogs, this is the prime time to buy Euro. Already done this a few times lately. Italy is an excellent source, usually gets to Texas in about ... | |
| Help me spend $6000 Either I haven't had coffee yet or this is plain weird. | |
| After the thrill is gone @jond 👍 Right back at you. Love the detailed description of your system. And with those pics it's easy to see what the technical aspect of the equipment does for you. Intense! | |

| After the thrill is gone Serjio says "if you had PBN Montana ref speakers + the right room, your search would be over." I guess I am done because that's exactly what I got! See house of stereo system. Love the dynamics of the PBN. I need all the dynamics I can get for th... | |
| Qobuz or Apple Music? Different day, same results, most prefer Qobuz. I will repeat that Q on $12.99 plan sounds flat to me, no depth. Tidal on $9.99 plan has so much more depth, not even close. Also a little wider soundstage. So I had both and dumped Q. Can't talk of... | |
| How Audiphiles are Different It only makes sense. It's the same in life with everything. Everybody prefers different things. Nobody is the same. Hence we are called individuals. And I am grateful for that. How sad would the world be if we were all alike. My system sounds best... | |
| Small Form-Factor CD Player/Transport Caution: If looking to go I2s connection, not all are compatible. Had to return the PS Audio CD transport which was not compatible with the Gustard x26 pro dac. | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES I am going to differ from many here. On my setup, tidal $9.99 hifi sounds better than qobuz $12.99 plan. It gives me way more depth and a little more width in soundstage. Can't speak of Tidal MQA or qobuz upper plan since they are not feasible on ... | |
| Analog vs. digital Vinyl vs. CD on my system is a toss up depending on record. Slightly different presentation, both fully satisfying. Streaming a grade below because I do it from android cell phone via wifi on tidal hifi due to lack of computer in house of stereo s... | |
| Turn down the Volume! Between 70 and 80 db for me. Anything less or more won't be pleasurable to my ears. | |
