| Ditching Roon going back to BluOS for Bluesound Node 2i @ozzy62 I have been eyeing the PS Audio Directstream DAC with bridge II for streaming as well. I could probably save money with the Lumin Mini. | |
| Ditching Roon going back to BluOS for Bluesound Node 2i @ozzy62 Greattt.. Looks like I'll be wasting another whole day at work trying to justify buying a Lumin now. Then not buying because of all the "bits are bits" posts that make me feel stupid for paying that much for just a streamer.But many seem ... | |
| Ditching Roon going back to BluOS for Bluesound Node 2i @dougsat Yes BluOS will work with NAS but my understanding is that Roon is far better at working with a NAS integrating it in with streaming services. | |
| Ditching Roon going back to BluOS for Bluesound Node 2i @erik_squires how and where do you see this? Are you talking about on the phone app? | |
| Ditching Roon going back to BluOS for Bluesound Node 2i How can the app "sound" better? Never heard of iPeng. | |
| Any “value” competitor streamers vs Bluesound Node 2i? @ cytocycle I have to disagree. I think BluOS is superior to Roon unless using a NAS. If not using a NAS, I cannot see much reason to NOT use BluOS. | |
| Trade all my Amazon Alexa Echos for Sonos for whole home audio? My ATT has been rock solid, of course I'm in a metro part of Dallas where AT&T is headquartered.. But I pull anywhere from 300-700mbs through wifi... Depending.. Wired I can get 800ish.So I'd say that's a success as I never expected to see 1GB. | |
| Trade all my Amazon Alexa Echos for Sonos for whole home audio? Ok, I wasn't sure what my ISP could actually do. I have At&T 1GB service so it's very fast. But perhaps that's a good next stepAlso, 15 echos is a lot but it's well within the capability of the Eero wifi mesh. Also, I have many other devices... | |
| Ditching Roon going back to BluOS for Bluesound Node 2i Again thanks for all the feedback. This solidifies my thoughts that BluOS is better for me since I don't use a NAS and mainly stream from Tidal. I do love the BluOS software but thinking about giving the Volumio Primo streamer a try with their sof... | |
| Ditching Roon going back to BluOS for Bluesound Node 2i Thanks for the info.. I'm not seeing anything I missed and without a NAS, I don't see the benefit for me. This is what I expected. Also, I don't really need the DSP if I use my Anthem integrated amp because it has ARC.But yes, @erik_squires when ... | |
| What are you using to drive your Tektons? I drive my DI SE's with two different systems. I go back and forth between PS Audio m700 mono blocks (with PS Audio Direct Gain Cell DAC/preamp) and the Anthem STR Integrated amp.I do hear some hiss/noise though if you put your ear next to the tw... | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i Any report? | |
| Power Cable from wall to my conditioner? @Kingbarbuda What's the point in putting a high end power cable into a PS Audio regenerator? Isn't that the purpose of the regenerator, to take bad power and make it pure?Why spend thousands on a PS Audio power regenerator if it doesn't fix the c... | |
| Best way to A / B test amps? Use a switch? Very good points. Some of which I have considered but not enough. I still think the audiophile thinks his aural memory is much keener than it is and not susceptible to audio forum interference/influence. But, you're right saying that the "over ... | |
| Best way to A / B test amps? Use a switch? Hahaha.. Pretty funny and I'm not saying you "forget" a blatantly obvious sound difference. We're not playing in that field here. Audiophiles are obsessed with the slightest nuances and to believe that your superior hearing memory is immune to... |
