| I'm at a digital loss or getting over UI mountain It sounds like you are a victim of Apple when all you need is a decent tag program like mp3tag. No you don't need (often for the better) a computer to listen to music. | |
| Bluesound Node settings Turn off wifi | |
| Quality of Sirius XM Google the bandwidth for Sirius. The last time I did it was pathetic. | |
| Coax All you need is a service manual for Topping. Right. | |
| Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer? Yes but by all means suit yourself. A Raspberry Pi will beat an iPhone but if you don’t believe that, it will never happen. As of now your music will play only when you’re in the network. | |
| Connections Tape recording/monitoring is a royal pain without a tape loop. They are hard to come by any. | |
| Music server vs. external hard drive to DAC It should equal CDs but I never compared Prime LL to CDs while I tried it. Happier with Qobuz because it plays on most streamers while few have be embraced Amazon. I listened most often with my PC which might be why I dropped it. | |
| High quality recordings any genre You can listen to Octave recordings on their low bitrate IP radio station. | |
| Music server vs. external hard drive to DAC I sold my Synology as I found that cheap SSDs sound at least as good and much easier to work with. Not sure who "told" you different but I stand by it. Why would adding a network into the mix add positive change to any SQ? When the Iinternet go... | |
| What say you? Not interested say I. | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions The Metrum Ambre is hard to beat for SQ. The only way you’ll know for sure is direct comparison with return privileges. I also returned SOtM and Sonore Rendu because their support could not get them to play anything BUT Room and limited IP radio... | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions It doesn’t seem like most suggestions have even heard the Alambre. I have and think it hard to beat. I sent it back for a media player that plays local (USB-A) files. Good luck. | |
| Streaming through upconverting DAC - can I even improve audio quality? Upsampliing is like putting Bud Light into Waterford crystal. If you don't start with something better, that's all that you're gonna get. Target practice. | |
| Preamp Shopping - Parasound, ML, McIntosh My miniDSP Studio plays DSD just fine and sounds good with a better DAC.I. I've always had analog amplification for analog sources. | |
| Apple iOS 17.1.2 and Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt I’m happy for you that $27 patch works. For now. Than YOU, for wonderful civility here. Merry Christmas Everyone |
