| Help! High level subwoofer input on a class D amp introduces ground loop. Thanks, almarg! | |
| Smooth sounding integrated +1 for a Peachtree (try used!). Good DAC to send audio out via Optical from TV. Comes with a remote (necessary for a TV integrated). Probably the best looking integrated to tick the WAF box. You’ll have to use the TV as the hub, and you can have a... | |
| What player to stream Amazon HD with? Cool. Maybe Amazon is streaming CD quality to CC then. | |
| What player to stream Amazon HD with? @iluvsansui, ear training takes work. I don't think you're actually hearing CD quality or better because Amazon only streams MP3 to Chromecast. If you still have free trials with Tidal or Qobuz, compare some songs over Amazon and one of these othe... | |
| What player to stream Amazon HD with? I stream on the cheap, through a tricked out Chromecast Audio. I trialed Amazon HD last year with the hope that I would purchase a high res subscription for the family for Christmas. Unfortunately, Amazon will not stream CD quality or greater to C... | |
| Streamers with best apps? @cal3713 do you see any benefit to using Bubble if I only stream from Qobuz? My understanding is that Bubble might work best for those who play music from multiple sources. | |
| Streamers with best apps? @Mazian, Yes Chromecast will work with Tidal on both Android and iPhones. If you have at least one castable device (like the TV you mentioned), you should see the cast icon in the top right corner for most of you streaming apps. In fact, if you se... | |
| Streamers with best apps? @ MazianI agree that Chromecast, in its basic implementation, is downmarket. But I would point out that the the Chromecast hardware and the Chromecast software are different things that share the same name. Cambridge says they now support the Chro... | |
| Streamers with best apps? Hey Mazian, ditch Tidal for the Idagio streaming service. It has the best indexing for classical music and is available in Australia. Idagio also supports Chromecast as does your CXN. You won't have to worry about any streamer software as you'll b... | |
| Streamers with best apps? Hi Mazian, I agree that the software side of streaming is incredibly important. Have you tried streaming via Chromecast with your Cambridge CXN? My understanding is that Cambridge incorporates Chromecast into their streaming hardware. Over Chromec... | |
| Any tweaks I'm missing? @ OP,you're like the typical skyrim modder with so many mods. I'd like to think that good mods can be additive. Mine have been so far. Plenty of people are happy playing vanilla skyrim, but vanilla is all they're going to get. For the tinkerers ou... | |
| What's a really great Streamer/DAC box for just streaming Tidal? @dtx I would like to push back as to how much streamers matter. Would you be willing to compare your Node against a Chromecast? And would you be willing willing to try to place a reclocker between your streamer and DAC, like the iFi SPDIF reclocker? | |
| What's a really great Streamer/DAC box for just streaming Tidal? @OP in addition to sound quality and aesthetic considerations, I find that a streamer’s software also plays an important role. The BluOS was one of the few day-one supporters for Amazon Music’s new high res streams. For that reason, I consider str... | |
| What's a really great Streamer/DAC box for just streaming Tidal? @larry5729(1) If you use optical out of a streamer, you will bypass that streamer’s DAC. You are only using one DAC. (2) I don’t exactly know which S2 DAC your have, but even if your S2 supports MQA, it may not be decoding MQA. For example the Pre... | |
| Best budget streamer on the market now? @tlee1, have you tried the bluesound with the iFi reclocker? I wonder about the value of the Nodes as merely streamers. |
