Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i
@mahler123 I have not seen many claim that roon degrades sound.  I don't believe it degrades anything on my end.  Peter Li at Lumin even recommends using it over their native app.  Not to get off on whether Roon is worth it or not though.I really ... 
Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i
Yes I did buy it.  Not sure. That's why I made this thread to see if anyone else has noticed an upgrade from an older high-end unit to a newer entry level unit.I think I expect it to sound better perhaps because of the AES output but we'll see.  V... 
Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i
@jbuhl forgive me but what is The Roons and "twix Roons"?  Also what is is MPD?And I did buy jaytor's BDP-2 :) 
Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i
@benzman  Thanks. However, you seem to be pretty alone in your opinion that the BDP-1 sounds hard and cold.  Most people have 98% positive things to say about it, even compared to other well-known expensive streamers.I've always stayed away from A... 
Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i
Thanks mahler123.  That's what I'm wanting to hear.  I agree that BluOS is unbeatable but I'll be using Roon so I don't really care about Manic Moose.  I'm just wondering if an old Ferrari is better than a new Corvette :) 
Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i
I would use Roon so it will play Tidal and Quobuz through that. I know the Bryston was triple the price, but it's also considerably older.  I just wondered if it was still a great piece compared to the new low-dollar standard Bluesound. Bluesound ... 
PS Audio M700s or older Bryston 4bsst / 4bsst2 ?
How exactly do you know when they'll need to be recapped?   
Thiel CS 2.3 radiator replacement
@jafant  thanks for checking in..  I still love these speakers.  They're amazing for their size and wow they weigh a ton.  I still have not gotten the foam fixed because it isn't affecting the sound.I had them next to my Tekton Double Impact SE's ... 
REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab
I've never been overly impressed with Revel, they're nice, but in that price range there are so many better speakers - with much better resell fyi.. Look at products by KEF, used Thiel, etc.  Best used deal I ever got (besides my Khorns) were the ... 
REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab
If you think that "better engineered" means a better speaker you're wrong.  However, there's a very good chance the Revel is NOT better engineered.  Check out GR Acoustics youtube channel and you'll see how crappily some high-end speakers are engi... 
Musical fidelity M6SI problem.
I have not had this problem.  The MF m6si has been one of my big surprise amps.  I love it, it's not for sale. 
Help! Anthem STR preamp ARC sounds bad now compared to off
Anyone know how to copy settings from Profile 1 to the others?  I can't figure it out and am probably missing something obvious. 
Oppo's gone, now what dvd/bluray to buy (Oppo BDP-105d)
@falconquest  gotcha.  I thought most did but I could be wrong.  I just know that the most popular ways to stream are through a smart tv or smart box like Roku, Apple Tv, or Firestick.  I use my Sony android tv for all streaming and run HDMI ARC t... 
Oppo's gone, now what dvd/bluray to buy (Oppo BDP-105d)
@falconquest   I kinda thought most dvd players now days were "smart" players and did all that.Plus, I don't want a smart player.  I get my tv, netflix, hulu, etc from my tv. 
Help! Anthem STR preamp ARC sounds bad now compared to off
Thanks for the advice.. I might can try again tomorrow.  I can't believe the phasing is only applied to profile 1, that's crazy.
