| Remasters - are they better? What exactly is it? So this is pretty interesting. I always kinda thought compression always equals "bad". Why would I want a compressed anything other than space savings? But, I can see where compression is used in the studio to make quiet things sound louder and... | |
| Most annoying song, period. "Africa" by Weezer. I want to run off the road when I hear this crappy version of a great song. | |
| Remasters - are they better? What exactly is it? Awesome info from everyone. For those whom I disagree'd with, I'm mainly just playing devil's advocate.Like I wish so badly that Elvis's old stuff was a little more "oomphy".. NOT electronica hip hop fakery, but just more "crank up-ability" (im s... | |
| Remasters - are they better? What exactly is it? @ieales No it's nonsense to say you cannot tell around what decade a recording is from. Old recordings just sound different. They generally sound like they're being played through an old hifi system or they literally sound like a recording of a... | |
| Remasters - are they better? What exactly is it? Yeah, ok so... I cannot find any older recording (50s 60s 70s and most 80s) that dig that low or that have "involving" bass like you might hear from albums by Celtic Women, Hans Zimmer, Celine Dion, Adele, etc. Those albums will really test a su... | |
| Remasters - are they better? What exactly is it? Ok so, when I'm flipping through Tidal and I see both albums, I'm usually/generally better off sticking to the original. I do wish we could take some older un-dynamic albums where things sound thin and add some oomph to them. Like, cranking up t... | |
| What's a really great Streamer/DAC box for just streaming Tidal? classdstreamer23 posts10-04-2019 4:15pm@dtx I would like to push back as to how much streamers matter. Would you be willing to compare your Node against a Chromecast? And would you be willing willing to try to place a reclocker between your stre... | |
| What's a really great Streamer/DAC box for just streaming Tidal? I second the Bluesound Node 2i recommendations and using an external dac. I have not heard the rest of these mentioned but I can vouch for this product being excellent. I actually use the DAC in my Anthem MRX receiver and it's definitely better ... | |
| Best budget streamer on the market now? @classdstreamerCorrect me if I'm wrong but isn't that just streaming over bluetooth? Isn't it true that you're not getting your Hi Res by streaming that way?To stay on topic, I personally recommend the Bluesound Node 2 with an external dac.. I e... | |
| Popular new/used SS stereo power amps under $2500? I'm selling a mint Parasound A21 if you're interested. | |
| Just auditioned Martin Logan ESL vs 60xt Nah they were plugged in. Had i not had the 60xts right next to them, my ears would have warmed up to them and probably thought they were pretty nice... But you never know what you're missing until you A/B them next to something else. Also I'm n... | |
| Amazon just killed Tidal I cannot get HD yet! I called Amazon and they said that it hasn't been rolled out to my account yet. Anyone else only seeing Amazon Unlimited not Amazon Unlimited HD? I don't see any stream quality indicators and nothing that screams "HD" on the ... | |
| Separate DAC and Streamer or go with a Streamer DAC? Why not save money and go with the Bluesound Node 2i into an external DAC? If the Innuous app is like all others I've used, you'll be 10x happier with the BluOS and any sound quality difference in the streaming portion is absolutely negligible. M... | |
| Great sounding/recorded albums Awesome suggestions. I would like add:Most things from Hans ZimmerPrince of Egypt soundtrack.. First track wow slammin bass and big sound. Great choir/symphonic pieces throughout. | |
| Optical vs coax vs spdif What's your restaurant? I might want to stop by sometime as I'm in Dallas. |
