| The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier @audioinfidel Dynaudio is now owned by some Chinese company now I think. My view is this is a marketing thing and, if there is sustained demand for these speakers, there will be more.I always wanted a speaker like this from them as the higher end ... | |
| Streamer wanted Lumin is $2000.I use Bluesound Node 2i and a Chrord Qutest DAC. Works for me.Innous Zen Mini...I hear is good at around $1000.Just need to factor the control app into it.And, btw, this topic has been covered here in multiple threads. | |
| The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier Low prob of a pic inside, sorry...😉My take is that DAve B does not really “market” his products, per se. Hardly any real,reviews on Aria. Just hobbyist stuff. He doesn’t buy media so media not looking to give him ink.my hope is that the Aria Sig s... | |

| "Real" streamer vs. Bluetooth adapter--what's the advantage? Get a Bluesound node 2i.it does Bluetooth, airplay and it’s own but I don’t know what it’s called.see if you can tell the difference. | |

| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? My Teddy Pardo power supply just made my Chord Qutest better at what it does. For $400, it was worth it.Back to OP’s question...I think streaming technology has hit a current plateau but may again improve.Just hope things like the Lumin U1 mini co... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? My priority is to “preserve option value”.I agree that DAC technology has reached a point where you can confidently have high conviction in your investment.for me, that was a Chord Qutest with a 3rd party power supply. I believe streaming technolo... | |
| BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..? Hi, All - I am the OP and this is my conclusion:I use Wifi and it sounds good, works reliably and I have no issues.Will continue to do so happily.Thanks. | |
| BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..? @gdnrbobPaid like $75 for the AQ PC for Node. Check. Base covered.I have my Node 2i on 5ghz, too, and signal is STRONG and I never get drop-outs.Since my modem and router are in same room as Node, I could easily just run a test piece of wire over.... | |
| BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..? Yes, I added an Audioquest PC to the Node 2i.Did I hear a difference...?...not sure. Just really wondering about placing a wireless access point device next to my Node 2i then running ethernet...Anyone...? | |
| BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..? @audiotroy Nice hijack attempt, dude.Let’s please stick with the topic and you may sell your wears elsewhere. Thanks.BTW, there are 2-3 direct comparisons out there of the U1 mini and Node 2i and results are inconclusive. One guy MAYBE hears it on... | |
| BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..? I live in Chicago (as stated) and WiFi is very stable and very fast with ZERO drop-outs.My question is about SQ between wired and wifi...I can use an access point easily for $30 then run ethernet from there to the Node 2i.QUESTION: Does the Node 2... |
