| Streaming Tidal - What hardware is out there beyond the Bluesound @nycjlee,I hope those Vandies are keeping you happy. And +1 for the Ayre Codex, when I stopped by Audioconnection, Johnny played music through the Bluesound Vault and the Codex. It was so impressive, I bought a used on here on Agon.B | |
| Streaming Tidal - What hardware is out there beyond the Bluesound @amritash I use the Node 1 and output to my DAC. So using the Bluesound App, I will connect to Tidal and use Tidal's MQA unfolding (which isn't a complete unfolding). The Bluesound does no MQA unfolding itself.The alternative is to get a DAC with ... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? +1 for Herbie's. Great service at reasonable prices.B | |
| Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36 I have ctsooner's Treo's mated with a pair of 2w subs (not q's).It is a superlative combination. I don't think I'll be changing them for a while.Bob | |
| Node 2 and Yamaha AVR, go digital or analog? +1 Jond.If you do, I would be interested in what you find. The Node 2 is supposed to have a decent DAC (for the money).B | |
| Best interconnect burn-in method Oh droleg, you bad man! Very bad man!(Wagging finger, too).B | |
| Integrated vs Separates, New vs Used - Rogue Audio, Simaudio, McIntosh??? Input Needed! I think you are doing this backward, but, hey, it's your life.For me, I would audition as many speakers as possible in order to get a fix on what 'sound' I liked. Once I get that locked in, then I would concentrate on the amp, pre and source.B | |
| Computer PS Upgrade (Fuse/IEC/Teflon Cap) Experimenting is what makes this "mod-it-yourself" hobby really fun. True.Let us know what you find.B | |
| Streaming Tidal - What hardware is out there beyond the Bluesound The Bluesound makes it so easy to connect different rooms and also stream high quality music.I had Airfoil previously, but the Bluesound is much better. | |
| Computer PS Upgrade (Fuse/IEC/Teflon Cap) I can't say I have done this, but I have to ask 'why'?Bob | |
| Possible bookshelf upgrade Perhaps a pair of Zu Omen Bookshelf? I own them for my office and they are quite nice. Also, less than $2k.Bob | |
| Grado A+ for customer service Go Grado! | |
| Streaming Tidal - What hardware is out there beyond the Bluesound +1 Kalali,I use the Bluesound Node 1's, but only as streamers. Though the Node 2 is supposedly better DAC-wise, I would keep the Node 1's and get better DAC's. For the money, I can't think of anything else comparable. Also, directly connect via e... | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? @mechans A used Gungnir non multibit is about $600, add another $500 to upgrade to multibit.New, they are $1300 or so.(multibit)B | |
| Requesting Advice on Speaker Upgrade Thanks Bomd, Zu sells direct, but you can find them used here on Agon and Ebay.If you buy new, they do give a trial period, but I have to say they do require break in to sound their best.One of the reasons I recommend Zu and Vandersteen is that th... |
