| Hegel H190 Universal Remote Most universal remotes typically have a learning function as well. If not, the Hegel codes are quite common with some other brands. I was able to control a Simaudio integrated amp with the RC8 before, so you could try Simaudio codes if listed for ... | |
| Bel Canto 3.0 vs 2.7 DACs I haven't done a side by side, but their latest DAC2.7 is supposed to eclipse their previous DAC3.7 which came with the VBL1. | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? Class D is in prime time. Some companies like Bel Canto and Aavik, as just two examples, are putting out superb Class D. I just had a customer upgrade from a couple Simaudio pieces (certainly not inexpensive) to a Bel Canto Black EX integrated amp... | |
| Bel Canto ACI600 vs Black EX Sepates I know the Black EX integrated very well. I listen to it daily and still love it. Yes, I'm a Bel Canto dealer, so you can take it with a grain of salt if you like, but an absolutely fantastic piece. https://www.everestaudio.com/products/Systems/S... | |
| Pls Recommend Streamer Under $500 for Tidal “HiFi” Yes, the Bluesound can be used as a Roon endpoint. | |
| Will adding an external DAC to my setup improve SQ significantly? jlr261, to answer your question, you shouldn't hear any sound quality difference going from wifi to Ethernet on your Bluesound. | |
| Will adding an external DAC to my setup improve SQ significantly? Have you tried using the digital out of the Node 2i to the Peachtree to see what it sounds like using the DAC in the Nova 125? I don't know if it will be better or worse than the DAC in the Bluesound, but it may be a sound you prefer. | |
| Is there any streamer/integrated competitor to NAD C-388 w/BluOS2i MDC? The Hegel H90 would be in the same price bracket as the NAD. | |
| Is there any streamer/integrated competitor to NAD C-388 w/BluOS2i MDC? Every current Hegel integrated amplifier has streaming capabilities via its Ethernet input and third party apps such as BubbleUPnP. On the budget side, Marantz has a new two channel receiver that has streaming capabilities via wifi or Ethernet and... | |
| Moderately priced audio In my opinion, there has never been a better time for getting great sound on a budget. Grab a Bluesound Powernode 2i and a pair of decent speakers and the quality is shockingly good for the money. Sure, we go much higher than that, but for many, t... | |
| Amps suggestions for ATC scm 40 mk2 ATC and Hegel can work very well together. But, you're correct, the H160 or the H190 integrated don't bring the SCM40's to life. But, the H360 integrated does. The H360 also has a sonic signature that for me definitely works better with ATC than t... | |
| Melody Gardot, Live in Europe If you like Melody's Live in Europe, be sure to also get her Live at the Olympia Paris on Blu-ray. Outstanding! | |
| best $1000 digital front end options for home streaming? You certainly don't need to have an external DAC with the Bluesound Node 2i. Depending on the rest of your system, you might be perfectly happy using its own internal DAC and feeding its analogue outputs to your integrated amp. In this case, you'l... | |
| Why no Class D integrated love? (from manufacturers) In my system that I listen to every day, I'm using the Bel Canto Black EX integrated amp. Sure, it's a pricey piece, but unbelievable and certainly doesn't leave me wanting for any other amplification topology such as Class A or Class AB. | |
| Sloppy, muted bass response on Hegel h190 The traits you're hearing are definitely not those of the Hegel H190. The bass and grip on the H190 is fantastic. Something else is definitely not right. I'm leaning towards the KEF, but there could be other issues at play. d2girls, your attempts ... |
