| Bluesound NODE 2 paired with Benchmark DAC 1? In my opinion, I wouldn't put money on the MQA option.Should it become a major player, it will be offered universally, and at a reasonable cost.B | |
| Digital streaming options for my system are confusing @OP, As a small business owner, I can safely say that what you are asking for isn't financially feasible. As I posted before, our current society is definitely lacking a moral compass and will often resort to the courts to justify whatever behavio... | |
| Audiophile x 5 months. You should consider yourself lucky.Though I would ditch those speakers, asap.Bob | |
| Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?. You should post a pic on Virtual Systems. It would give us an idea of what is going on.B | |
| External DAC connection @ericjcabrera , excellent post. I would also point out Apple and pandora have pretty low rez output. You would do better with other streaming companies.B | |
| Is there a better DAC than the Schiit Bifrost for $300? @OP, check out HifiShark.They have a pretty complete listing of equipment around the world- which you can filter accordingly. Ebay is just a small part of the 2nd hand world.Bob | |
| Digital streaming options for my system are confusing There are quite a few stereo manufacturers who give trial periods for their merchandise. Unfortunately, Bluesound isn't one of them.And offering demo gear would not be a way to go, given the current moral state of our society.B | |
| Digital streaming options for my system are confusing +3 for Bluesound, and you can use an external DAC with the Node.Also nice is you can sync multiple systems in your house.B | |
| Is there a better DAC than the Schiit Bifrost for $300? Schiit doesn't answer questions regarding relative sound upgrades between models, and I thought it was a bit pretentious, but I have to say they have marketed their merchandise well.B | |
| Is there a better DAC than the Schiit Bifrost for $300? I would get the Bifrost Multibit, new preferrably. Schiit upgrades their equipment often.I owned the Modi and Bifrost. I now own the Gungnir.As you move up, the sound quality definitely improves.Bob | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener @shaunac,You would do better to post a new thread.B | |
| Could I be a Retail Wretch? I am guilty of this behavior, myself, but I buy used as I cannot afford to buy the equipment I want new. However, when I can buy new, I will always use my dealer to make a purchase.B | |
| What would be good preamp to run McCormick dna1 Tube- Atma-Sphere MP3SS- Ayre KX-5Bob | |
| Considering purchasing different speakers @OP, given that you can get a good deal nearby, can you ask the seller to let you listen to them for a bit before you buy?That way you can get a feeling of what they can do.B | |
| Audioquest Makenzie XLRs @OP,You can also PM Ralph Karsten (atmasphere), and get his take on this.He knows the 'Balanced' standard and can give you the best route to take.bob |
