| Which dac or other suggestions +2 for BluesoundIf your read other threads, you know I run the Bluesound Node (1) through an Ayre Codex. It is probably the best bang for the buck out there.Another DAC manufacturer to consider:SchiitThey offer great equipment at a very reasonable... | |
| Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet? I haven't heard it either, but if Schitt is doing their 'Schiit', I expect it to be a very good piece of equipment at its' price point.I say this after having owned a Modi Multibit, Bifrost Multibit, and a Gungy (non Multibit). Each model up impro... | |

| Bluesound Node 2 as DAC for CD player? I concur with Bec1195. The Bluesound DAC isn't bad for the price.Though, if you want to improve it, I would suggest an Ayre Codex.I use it with my Bluesound Node (1) and love it. Of course, you can plug in your Rotel, too.B | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length Good move. I hate to say it, but Transparent prices their work a bit too high. Considering they are in Maine, I doubt they are paying their workers at similar rates.B | |

I had Tidal for a while, but they didn't have a great classical library and I just don't get hip-hop.Sound-wise, Spotify is great. I suspect they will go to higher definition, as there have been posts ... | |
| Free Absorption Panels Why do I live in NY? All the good stuff is on the other coast.Can you ship?Bob | |
| XLR and DBS (Audioquest) When I posted this thread, I was doing so with Ralph at Atma-Sphere's belief that XLR cables don't need to be expensive, as they are not affected by distance- unlike RCA.I guess I'll just have to experiment.Thanks for all the replies.B | |
| Experience with Bluesound Node 2 use with external DAC @williewonka I don’t know what cables were used, but I do recall that the cabling was not cheapo stuff. Besides, we’re talking about AudioConnection, Johnny has given me way more advice and help than I have given him sales.When I say I heard a dis... |
