| How many of you are digital only systems? Fiirst off, there are no wrong answers here. If you like dealing with physical media, or the sound of vinyl, or collecting album covers, whom am I or anyone else to judge. But as for me ... with the exception of an AM/FM tuner I have been all dig... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant, Tom Thiel, et al.Thought the following might be interesting.I purchased my CS 2.4 speakers from Audio Consultants in April of 2011. They were a pre-owned pair (serial# 2951, 2952) and at time of purchase there were 5 years left on the tran... | |
| Physically connect a Bluesond Node 2i to a downline, stand alone Chord Qutest DAC @hilly230 First off. In general, regardless of source device, bits are never just bits; with respect to the Bluesound Node in particular, some of its flavor is being imparted, even if you are using its digital outputs (it's like there will always... | |
| Physically connect a Bluesond Node 2i to a downline, stand alone Chord Qutest DAC @hilly230 My personal experience with 75 Ohm digital coax cables connecting Node2i to Qutest are limited to Tributaries and Transparent. In both cases those cables are terminated with RCA connectors, using an Audioquest RCA to BNC adapter to mate ... | |
| Physically connect a Bluesond Node 2i to a downline, stand alone Chord Qutest DAC @hilly230My experience with the Bluesound Node2i / Chord Qutest combo is that the Node2i via its analog output using its own DAC produces a polite (some might say forgiving), warm sound that leans to the dark side; by comparison, with the Qutest t... | |

| Can Any Bookshelf Speaker Be Used Nearfield? I can highly recommend KEF LSX speakers for nearfield listening in a desktop application. The LSX are basically a mini version of the LS50 wireless speakers. They are active, powered speakers, with built in DAC and DSP. All signals, including ana... | |
| Move on from my Bryston BDA-1? dsands, for what it is worth, if I was out shopping today, the 3 DACs you have mentioned would all be at the top of my list in their price range.All 3 have been very well reviewed. John Darko, when reviewing the RME, directly compared it to the Qu... | |
| Move on from my Bryston BDA-1? Hello dsands!Been using Bryston BDA-1 with Bluesound kit since 2014. I think it is still a very capable DAC. Its USB input is somewhat limited, but with Bluesound kit that is a non-issue. I'm currently using mine in a second system with a Bluesoun... | |
| Question about SACD and DSD There are multiple ways to skin the SACD/DSD cat.The option I use is to rip SACD to .dsf files using a compatible vintage Sony Blu-Ray player as my SACD network server. I use Sonore's ISO2DSD software to perform the ripping chore. Can check out ... | |
| Thiel Owners @sdecker Thanks! Reason I asked is that Kef (like Thiel) bills the Uni-Q as a point source. | |
| Thiel Owners So a question, where would Kef's Uni-Q concentric driver array fit into this mix? |
