| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? Thanks, What speakers did you add it to? | |
| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? H160 has variable Line Level (RCA) right, left and the node2i I'm adding will also have sub out.I'd like to get both R+L into the subwoofer.Some controversy with adding REL high level off the speaker outputs. Hegel says no don't do it and REL says... | |
| Streamer recommendations for dummies. Comparing the options Node2i, Yamaha WXC-50, LUMIN, AURALIC,miniDSP SHD ... Unless I'm missing something, I'm thinking node2i is probably the best bang for the buck and least risk. Have to give up the EQ option but ...we can figure that out later.... | |
| Streamer recommendations for dummies. I like LUMIN specs a lot, but the price tells me they are targeting folks with pro audio equipment. Appreciate all the info, this has become a more interesting hunt then I had anticipated.My limited experience and testing has shown me that one thi... | |
| Streamer recommendations for dummies. No, all the options are valuable to be reviewed. The H160 does have direct streaming, like we said though, Hegel bound the iTunes airplay volume to the amp volume and that turned out to be a really bad idea in practice.Also it's Airplay connectio... | |
| Streamer recommendations for dummies. But you can't EQ with the ARIS mini - "The ARIES MINI, as we have advertised at the product launch, will not support EQ and placement compensation" For the additional money it would be nice to have EQ capability. | |
| Streamer recommendations for dummies. Actually, it seems if you are in England you can still buy Auralic ARIES MINI at strictlystereo, be fun to have 2 DACs to compare... | |
| Streamer recommendations for dummies. Wow, LUMIN is $2 - $10K, I don't think I have the money to play the LUMIN game, they do however have some amazing hardware.Ben | |
| Streamer recommendations for dummies. Thanks guys, I appreciate all the ideas. I've read up on node2i, I will review the LUMIN option as well.Ben | |
| Streamer recommendations for dummies. Sounds perfect, like you, I’m not sure I’m getting a better DAC with node2i. As I am not an audiophile I don’t follow this stuff very closely but it appears the node2i DAC has about the same specs as the Hegel built in 32-bit AKM DAC @ 24/192. I’m... | |
| Streamer recommendations for dummies. Thanks, I was looking at Node2i, very nice... so I guess the volume limit control would allow me to set a max gain into the Hegel? Wonder how much better it would sound over the built in DAC... | |
| 160Hegel and DNLA . . . I have the H160 and it does tend to disappear as a target on the iphone 5s but it seems always show as available on the Macbook pros in my home. The only real issue I have with my Hegel is the volume. It uses the volume limit of the Airplay device... | |
| Speakers for Hegel H-160 Thanks, I'm new to this and unsure how much speaker I can properly drive with the power available, so appreciate the recommendations. |
