| If Conrad Johnson still made a DAC it would sound like?? How about one of the older PS Audio Directstream DACS? | |
| Tube preamp match with Solid Stare amp Also a Backert Labs fan...currently have a Rhumba Extreme 1.3 and sounds beautiful with either my Pass Labs or Levinson amps. | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing +1 on Innuos...I have the Zen Mini/LPS and it's a great combo. I upgraded from the BS NODE. | |
| Tube Preamp, uses 6sn7/6sl7. With or Without Phono; With or Without Remote Volume, Cary SLP-98L or Don Sachs | |
| Recommendations for against the wall high efficiency speakers I recently moved up the Zu line from Soul VI to Druid V (not VI). Outstanding speakers from a value/performance perspective...and they have a great WAF. I'm thinking of selling my Soul VI if you're interested. | |
| Used PS Audio Items I'm a very happy, loyal PSA customer! | |
| Can I Trust The Music Room's Product Description? I’ve had great experiences with TMR...multiple purchases and a few seamless returns after the trial period. | |

| Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10 Will be interested hear your impressions of the Aurender UI vs BluOS. I tried the Aurender and returned to the Node 130 (with the PDCreative/SBooster upgrade) to Qutest. Just didn't love the Aurender UI for the $$ delta...and no option to eventu... | |
| DACs that do well without a preamp I just purchased a pre owned NAD C658 to pair with a Pass XA25. Had low expectations...but am very surprised at excellent SQ and simplicity of system. | |
| 2-3k budget - adding DAC/Server to Bluesound Node? I'm continuing to evolve. Currently use a NODE into a Mytek Manhattan II DAC. Will likely upgrade NODE to an Innuos streamer once new models are launched. | |
| Another person going digital and full of questions 1. Started with the Node using internal DAC...sounded great 2. Added a Qutest (w/ SBooster) to the Node...sounded better 3. Tried Aurender N150 with Qutest... didn't notice improvement in SQ and didn't love Aurender OS vs BluOS. 4. Currentl... |
