| Why Streaming Service Sounds ‘Flat’ vs Tune In /Local FM /Radio Paradise @mwinkc yep, not that complicated, RP Icon is on the screen in my truck through Apple Connect. I press the Icon and music plays. | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing Here is a MiND 2 player for $1300.00 used. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650016083-simaudio-moon-mind-2-network-playerstreamer/ | |

| DAC's from the past, are any of them really worth much today? @daveyf Hey it's what works for you.

I can’t think of why anyone interested in hig... | |

| surface noise reduction @elliottbnewcombjr nice post, great information. | |
| Is it worth it? DAC question My experience is the DAC in the Blue Sound Node is shite. Now it has been years since I have used one, it was night and day when I went to a Simaudio 230HAD and then 10 times better with the Simaudio MiND 2 Network Player. iFi makes some very nic... |
