| Moving up from a Node 2i what we all are wanting to know is if the streamer itself, with the same DAC, can make a big difference. Most streamers include a DAC by design. As you yourself noted, the Lumin U1 Mini appears to be the only device in the $1K - $2K space that... | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i So for those of us getting their first streamer and feeling a bit gun-shy about big expenditures, is the consensus that the Node2i does a decent job, in its class? At its price point the Node 2i is a fantastic value. It has a decent DAC, does just... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I was listening to some of the "Hi-Fi Audio Partners" playlists on Qobuz last night. Some cool stuff there. I'm listening to the "Official NAD Demo Playlist" now. | |
| Potential subwoofer purchase-a few Q’s Much better. Seriously though, I'm not sure how to quantify it. Two subs can be great for movies if you just want to have that visceral feel of the bass effects in the movie's soundtrack, but for music having four subs is a subtle and at the sam... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Gary Moore - Live From London, Qobuz Hi-Res | |
| What are you streaming tonight? The Very Best of John Coltrane, Qobuz | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. I suggest you try some Cecil Taylor. Conquistador! is excellent. Coltrane will suddenly seem very mainstream and accessible. | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i I'm using the Lumin app with my TEAC NT-505. It's not as intuitive as the bluesound app, but it is fairly easy to use and syncs up with the streamer right away and I don't have the connection issues that I often experienced with my bluesound node 2. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Uber, you might check them out streaming first, I'd hate for you to be upset with me over some regrettable $1 purchases! I went for the greatest hits collection kind of for that reason. I often do that with groups I'm not that familiar with. If... | |
| TuneIn classical streaming through node 2i Radio Paradise streams at 44.1 / FLAC quality, however it's not classical. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Sonny Landreth - The Wilds of Wonder, Qobuz, Hi-ResKenny Brawner - Cross Water Blues, Qobuz, Hi-Res | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Uber, if you like Buffalo Springfield or the Eagles, you may enjoy them. I think I probably judged them by their big hit Crazy Love as being too "soft", but they have a lot of cool jammy country-rock in their early releases. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Police - Ghost In The Machine, Abbey Road Studios half-speed master | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Poco - The Very Best of Poco | |
| Cataloging Question I see what you're getting at. If I were to get technical about it, I would put it under "D" for Dave Rawlings Machine like I would put Pink Floyd under "P", but for ease in finding it, I'd probably put with the other Dave Rawlings records (under ... |
