| Static electricity and my Denafrips do not get along I used to own a Classe amp and preamp where I would get a pretty good static shock when I touched them in the winter time. The preamp would go into protection mode and shut down. My solution was to touch the nearby fireplace tools first, and get... | |
| Music Disappearing (Roon/Tidal/Qobuz) I've seen this often with playlists. In every instance, I was able to go back and find the missing album/song. I suspect the original song may have been removed and replaced with another version, but the playlist is still looking for the old ver... | |
| Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz @mojo771 I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a BluOS update for Tidal FLAC, since Lenbrook now owns MQA. What's the problem with using Tidal Connect? It has a few more features that are not available on the BluOS app. (Also note that a lot of M... | |
| Bluesound Node settings @kingbr If you are using an external DAC and preamp, you want the Output Level Fixed. With regard to the Audio Clock Trim, according to Bluesound: ”The Audio Clock Trim switch was added to adjust an issue with some specific chipsets of external ... | |
| Stand mount speakers to replace Magnepan 1.6’s If you are still planning to move the speakers back and forth (even a little bit) you might want to re-think stand mounts. Many stand mount speakers do not attach to the stands. so moving them will be awkward, to say the least. And putting ball... | |
| How to connect Powernode to KC62 I think you just need to run the cable from the Powernode's Sub Out to the LFE input on the sub (the white/left input). There is also a switch on the sub that you set to LFE. In the BluOS app, turn on the Sub in the Audio settings. The sub outp... | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? I have tinnitus that comes and goes and, for the life of me, cannot determine any correlation to what may trigger it. When it does bother me, I do not like to listen to headphones. Between my two systems, one of them is in my basement man-cave w... | |
| Tidal or Qobuz I started with Tidal when it first came out, and then tried Qobuz when it became available in the US. I decided to keep both. I listen through BluOS where the Tidal integration is much better than that of Qobuz. I find that Tidal has more album... | |
| Looking for an all-in-one just-add-speakers streamer for my son to take to college I would not invest a lot of money in a stereo system if my kid was living in campus housing. Theft is always an issue, not to mention abuse of the equipment by drunk roommates. I'd be looking at cheap bluetooth powered speakers, or one of the bl... | |
| Combo Streamer/Headphone Amp @panzrwagn If you're worried about draining the power of your tablet, you can also look at DAC/amp combos such as the ifi HipDac or Gryphon. They have their own internal battery. They are not quite as portable as a dongle DAC, but still pretty sm... | |
| Combo Streamer/Headphone Amp I would not recommend a Node just for headphone listening. The headphone section of the Node N130 is an afterthought. The headphone section on the Node X is supposed to be much better, but you'd be paying $750 for a unit where headphone listenin... | |
| Nad M33 or something better I agree with @mapman. I would look at adding a subwoofer. | |
| Is it worth it? DAC question The iFi Zen appears to have only a USB input. You can only use it if you have a Node N130 or Node X. | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation I will second @dekay's recommendation for the Micca cables. They're cheap enough to just try and see how they compare to your old cables. Or they can serve as a placeholder if you want to try other cables. There are a couple of threads here abo... |
