| What to do with my legacy CD collection? @drlou77 I’m in the same boat. I ripped all my cds and sacds of to my NAS and now I have them just sitting in my case. I recently got on Quobuz but still have bought new cds and downloaded new music. At this point Quobuz is so good I’m not sure w... | |
| Should I Keep my Second CD Player? I tend to wind up keeping everything so, that’s my opinion. 😀 | |
| Recommended Server? There are a couple I looked that are just streamers ie: Network players and are very good. Lumin is excellent, Innuos more for usb DACs, and Esoteric which I ended up buying. All are excellent upgrades to the bluesound node. Incredible steps up I ... | |

| Bose 901 VI flat? I think these speakers are made to use with their eq system. Use it. | |

| Seriously though, maybe the best tweak is exercise? I listen while I’m in my pool. Thanks for joking with us @erik_squires ….you wild and crazy guy you! | |
| What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard? If we are talking technically about “sound” and production, and not “our favorite “ then I would have to say the XRCD Version of “Warm Your Heart” by Aaron Neville. Beautiful recording and sound from the JVC XRCD process. | |
| getting into streaming To answer your question, I don’t know of any streamers that have a good enough interface built it to be of any good. In reality, any smart phone should work with many of the streaming apps associated with a streamer. As for your first streamer, it... |
