| Qobuz. @jond ,+1, I agree Spotify sound could be better, but most of Tidal is showing 44K output on my DAC, which is the same as Spotify.FWIW, after 3 days, I think Quobuz is a keeper. Much better selection for Classical and Jazz than Tidal, and if I get... | |
| Integrated recommendation with Vandersteen 2C I would get an Ayre AX-7e.Ayre and Vandersteen work very well together.B | |
| Bi-wireing speakers I have been following the thread about the Doug Schroeder technique for interconnects, and I think it parallels this thread.The use of a second pair of cables seems to not only improve speaker cables, but interconnects, as well.Why or how, I can't... | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA Are there any repairmen who specialize in Mac's?I can see the OP's reluctance to send into McIntosh, all they are going to do is open the box and slap a label on it saying it is okay.Though it would cost some money having someone look at it, at le... | |
| Modding the Zu Omen MKII Why don't you call Sean? I am sure he'll give you lots of ideas for things to work on. In fact, I think he kind of likes it when owners do modding.Bob | |
| Best budget A/C cable for Krell? Zu Mission-which can be had on Ebay direct from Zu- and,AQ NRGare two that come to my mind.Bob | |

| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? @jackd ,Well put.B | |

| What am I missing streaming music with a Node 2i I wouldn't put much stock in MQA, just yet.It sounds different, but I won't say it's better than a high rez recording.B | |
| Qobuz. @jond ,Yes, very good selection on classical and jazz.Listening to Cal Tjader right now.Also listened to the remaster Sgt. Pepper album and heard things I never knew were on that record.And, make sure you set the output quality. I have it on the h... | |
| What am I missing streaming music with a Node 2i The new Node has 2.5 and 5ghz networking capabilities, same DAC.I use an Ayre Codex. Slightly more than $1K used, but worth it.Otherwise, a Schiit Gungnir or Yggy.Bob | |
| Qobuz. @mahler, I had issues signing up, too. I had to do a password reset. To their credit, Quobuz responded in 2 days after a ticket.If you can login to the web player, then go to your account and reset your password.B | |
| Cable recommendation for Krell & Vandersteen If your equipment supports the Balanced protocol, then buying expensive XLR cables will/should yield minimal differences in sound reproduction.I'd just get the King Cobra's. I've never heard a 'bad' AQ cable. They just get more refined/defined as ... | |
| What am I missing streaming music with a Node 2i I agree with big greg, if you want higher fidelity, you can always get a better DAC.I use my Node's solely for wireless connectivity between my office and LR.B |
