If you use the RCA outs to your Denon, you're getting the full MQA unfold.  The Bluesound app will show the MQA icon next to the track.  If you're listening to Qobuz Hi-Res tracks there will be an icon that says "HR".  I don't think it will show y...

The Node 2 is really good on its own for its price point, especially if you got a good deal used.  I still have one that I use in my bedroom.  Enjoy!

Geez, the guy doesn't even have it yet and you're all telling him to go out and buy power cords, magic cables and expensive DACs before he's even heard it!  Do we have any idea what the rest of his system is?  Is it good enough to resolve all the ...

Is it better to have two matched subs or one
@dbphd I've had the same experience with all the speakers I've had in my room, I didn't mean to imply that the Ref 1s were doing something others couldn't, although they do image better than any other speakers I've owned.

@16f4 I listened to that Young Marble Giants release earlier today. I never heard of them either. That was pretty cool stuff.

Subs don't need to be identical.  I have two Rythmik subs and two SVS subs.  I have them set up in stereo, but I don't think it really matters.  They're all over my room... in front of me, beside me, behind me, facing into the wall, away from me.....

Just got back from the local record store with a pile of RSD Black Friday titles.  They're in quarantine until tomorrow, then the listening begins. 
Ar ethe current LP's available for $25 or so as goos as the old ones.
It's a crap shoot as far as quality of new pressings.  I just received a brand new Paul Simon album that had a "whoosh" sound every revolution.  Looking at it up close, there were dimples/pits all over one section of the record.  I just played the...

@slaw I have a few copies and this one is the best, at least from memory. I haven't A/B'd them all.  
Penafrips, MHDT Labs DACs versus Integrated amps for home office
The Denafrips looks nice. The Harbeths and LM are amazing, but they're not going to polish a turd. The Bifrost sounds really good with my Simaudio 600i and Harbeth P3ESRs.
