| Great Small Room Speakers for $3-5k Also, consider the Rogers LS3/5a. Wonderful speaker for nearfield or small room. | |
| Can I use a Bluesound Node 2i as a Preamp? The Ayre Codex was a good suggestion, though the Node 2i doesn't have USB out, so you'll be forced to use Optical from said Node 2i to Codex. Probably not the best, but it will work. | |
| Birthday DAC Love my Border Patrol! | |
| Best amp pairing for Focal Kanta 1s A Bluesound Node would be a fairly cheap option. You can go in via Toslink or HDMI from the TV to BS. It has a pretty good DAC, but for best perfomance you could get an external DAC. | |
| Choosing between Cornwall IV, Trio15 or X4 Ultra I have a space similar to yours, and have CW4’s. I listen at low volume levels most of the time and really like the Cornwalls. I like the Volti’s as well. Guess you pays your money and makes your choice. Audio Note E’s would also be excellent ... | |
| Qobuz + Lumin = Headache Use Mconnect to play Qobuz to the Lumin. Much easier than the Lumin app. | |
| Geshelli Labs J2 DAC I own the AKM version, and love it. But then, I have several AKM-based DAC’s, so I guess that is the sound I prefer. | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? Alan Sircom is a pretty good writer. But I really miss Art Dudley. Kind of reminded me of Henry Manney writing about cars. | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now Some folk over on Head-Fi are using/discussing it, I believe. Check out the “Dedicated Source Component “ forum. | |
| HiRes lossless FLAC Radio streams JB Radio-2 is out of Toronto and streams some very good music, somewhat akin to Radio Paradise. They also provide a Flac url that is 96kb. | |
| BS Node N130 USB to External DAC won't work Had a problem with mine connecting to a Dac using usb and it turned out to be a bad cable connection. There isn’a lot of room below the ethernet cable port so if the usb cable is too tall, or thick, it won’t make a good connection, Something to ... | |
| Warm and accurate bookshelves that can handle volume The Neat Ministra is an isobaric design just reviewed by Mark Phillips at Part Time Audio, and they seem well suited to your needs. Check his review out. | |
| How to build a super simple streaming system @snbeall, +1. If you decide you want a better way to control volume, a S.M.S.L DAC such as the DO100 between the Node and Genelecs will provide better sound and remote control. | |
| Requesting recommendations for simple and easy to use music streaming devices @romanesq +1, the Wiim Pro is very good and very reasonably priced. I’m totally enjoying mine! | |
| Baffled and Frustrated: Streaming/DAC Sound Issues @audphile1 mentioned making sure sample rate in Roon settings match what your DAC is capable of, and this was a problem I had. Better matching of those levels fixed it for me. Worth a try. |
