| DragonFly Red stopped working Got nowhere in terms of just fixing it or determining if it was hardware of the device or software related, but I was pleasantly surprised that they would replace it for just the cost of shipping... just not sure whether that will actually fix the... | |
| DragonFly Red stopped working Also, if this is a problem that a new replacement doesn't solve or it recurs with the new one, what similar product would you guys recommend? Good sound is important of course, but portability like these USB stick DACs or similar is key. Thanks | |
| Focal Aria sounds muffled and far away being run on a denon AVR-X3400H I’d re-run the setup configuration on your AVR...it’s possible the settings are wrong and it’s sending the wrong signal to your speakers due to either the setup or room correction. | |
| Fear of Streaming Another advantage I’ve found with streaming compared to vinyl is that I’m much more likely to turn on music in the background while doing errands around the house, cooking in the next room, or other work where I don’t want the repeated interruptio... | |
| Any like the Cambridge CXN v2 streamer? Has the CXN v2 been firmware upgraded to include Airplay2, or is Airplay2 only available on the series 2 model? I’ve been looking online and so far have only found that Cambridge planned to add Airplay2, but none of the spec sheets say that it has... | |
| Naim Mu-so v2 as Soundbar? David,Can you clarify what made the original mu-so “not great” as a soundbar? Something about the sound quality when used for TV/movies or more integration or lack of surround effects, etc? My concern is that perhaps since it isn’t designed to be ... | |
| Naim Mu-so v2 as Soundbar? I haven’t purchased yet. Definitely appreciate the positive comments though and plan to get it in a few weeks when the re-decorating is finished and I know we haven’t gone too far over budget in other areas. A bit surprised I didn’t get other reco... | |
| Naim Mu-so v2 as Soundbar? The bedroom is about 15x14ft with 8ft ceilings. TV is a few yrs old 42” Samsung HD set that’s about 10-12 ft from where we would be watching while in bed. It does have ARC for HDMI. | |

| Recommendations for modest budget At that budget, I’d check out accessories4less.com for a receiver. Personally I’d want something 4ohm stable and with pre-outs (so you have the flexibility for upgraded speakers and/or to add a separate amp later if you want to). The Marantz SR501... | |
| ADVICE PLEASE How do you plan to use this system? You posted in the home theatre section so I presume it will be used mostly for TV/movies, but is that the case? What is the room like (option for full surround setup, closed or open concept, large or small, in a... | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations @joshelston No connection between the harmony remote and the chromecast audio. It was just an example of another inexpensive device to improve functionality of a system. The chromecast would have to be controlled via your phone or tablet or whatev... | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations It’s a total aside to the question you asked, but take a look at getting a Harmony remote to alleviate the 3 remote problem and simplify using your setup for the non-audiophiles in the house. Even the mid-level models can do a great job of making ... | |
| Home theater setup recommendations? As several have already mentioned, without a budget and more info about the room, I can’t give you recommendations on specific equipment but I do have experience introducing a non-audiophile (my wife) to the benefits of a decent home theatre setup... | |
| What is the best system one can make under $5000 How do you plan to use the system? If it’s for a combo music & TV/movie system then I’d lean towards big floorstanders that can deliver deep bass. If it’s for music only and your musical tastes don’t mind lacking a bit of bass and lower volume... |
