| What are you streaming tonight? @melvinjames As a user of Qobuz for over a year now, I listen to music not known to me before 80% of the time. And I hardly listen to any of my about 2,000 CDs anymore. A lot of great music on ECM (of course), but also on ACT.Pretty much everyth... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @melvinjames You are being closely followed! (by me). Great selections that teach me about wonderful Jazz I oftentimes didn't know! Myself I am exploring the catalogue of the ACT label these days, including great Norwegian artists. Right now liste... | |
| Streaming for beginner @oddiofyl Also Node 2i into RME ADI-2 DAC FS here. Sometimes headphones (beyerdynamic), sometimes balanced interconnects into MF M6si amp. Very satisfied.Mostly Qobuz, but also a disk WD Passport with my ripped CDs, directly connected to Node 2i. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Marilyn Mazur - Celestial Circle, ECM, Qobuz | |

| Upgrade DAC recommendation Happy user of RME ADI-2 DAC. I see no reason to pay more than this DAC. Please refer to a recent discussion on streaming on this forum; this is a recurrent topic... | |
| Streaming for beginner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-resolution_audio#ControversyIn my own practice, I can not say that HiRes makes a difference to me. They both sound excellent and then I concentrate on the music itself. Psychologically, it makes a difference thou... | |
| Streaming for beginner "The H360 incorporates a high quality DAC, using Hegel’s proprietary re-clocking. The benefit of this is that we can make everyday sources sound really good. Sources like a phone or a computer. This is why we have also included functionality like ... | |
| Streaming for beginner Can't agree with @bobby1945 "Don't believe all this nonsense about how easy this streaming is .Dropping a pick up onto a record was easy - digital streaming requires a significant amount of effort to get an equivalent SQ."You can just start with N... | |
| Streaming for beginner Don't waste money! There's not a ton of magic in digital data transmission. A lot of this is marketing... Gear makers want to sell their overpriced stuff. No reason to spend about $1,600 total. | |
| Streaming for beginner Tidal MQA is also lossy. You can hear it on some classical music, especially piano. Tidal 'specializes' in popular music so it doesn't matter much. Qobuz HiRes is truly high-res meaning higher sampling rates and bit depths. That said, redbook para... | |
| Streaming for beginner Pricewise, Node 2i + RME ADI-2 DAC makes most sense, only around $1,600 together, and one ends up with a good streamer with good enough functionality and interface, while the RME provides hard to beat sound. | |
| Streaming for beginner +1 for QobuzStreaming into RME ADI-2 DAC from Node 2i or Fiio M11.WiFi works just as well as Ethernet cable, provided you are not to far from the antennas, 5GHz preferred. No exotic cables needed! | |
| External DAC? In my case (Musical Fidelity amp) the settings have to be different between RCA and XLR. RCA setting was pumping too much voltage into the amp and reducing headroom. At first I thought that the balanced cable I used was to blame (for RCA I used AQ... |
