| Apple TV Streaming Sound Quality vs Streamer? I would get the Node 2 used. If you decide you want to upgrade you'll pretty much make your money back when you sell it. The next step up price wise if the Auralic Aries, but it is limited to Apple devices for remote control and from what I've rea... | |
| Apple TV Streaming Sound Quality vs Streamer? AppleTV resampling to 48k makes highs sound tizzy. It doesn’t sound good. Do yourself a favor and get a decent streamer, like a Blusound Node 2/2i as others have suggested. If you’re going to use an external DAC and don’t need the enhanced wifi of... | |
| Nuforce STA200 I purchased the STA200 a few months ago based on feedback from users of this forum. Speakers that I've used with the amp are PMC OB1 (6 ohm, 87db) and Alta Rhea (4 ohm, 87.5 db) and the amp barely gets warm with either.For $500 it is a ridiculous ... | |
| Streamer/DAC combo or stand alone DAC with Node2? I recently purchased a Node 2 to act as a streaming device to output digital signal to a NAD M51 DAC. Once I return home from vacation and get the Node 2 hooked up I'll report back on my experience.I fully expect, based on feedback across various ... | |
| Streamer Advice: Bluesound Node 2 vs Aries Mini vs Oppo I highly advise against ethernet over power if the line is on the same circuit as that used to power your gear. You're introducing noise into the power signal that your equipment receives. | |

| Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile Why surprisingly good? Joseph Audio is a well respected brand. They don't show up used very often because owners tend to keep the speakers. That says a lot about the brand. | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? Read this. Same principles apply to all digital cables. The digital signal is actually generated from analog electric signals. In the case of optical, it comes down to how precise the optical transceivers are.https://positive-feedback.com/audio-di... | |
| Alta Audio Rhea Update to my initial review after listening to the speakers for over a week.Since my initial review, the tubes in my VTA SP14 have been swapped from RCA 6SN7 to Sylvania 6SN7WGTA. The Sylvania tubes have transformed the sound again. The RCA tubes ... | |
| Considering used towers under $1000.. NHT 2.5i or 2.9 if you can find a pair in good condition. You will have all of the bass you ever wanted, though the Rotel is the weak link in your chain if you really want good deep bass. | |
| Does the Quality of the USB cable matter? Ozzy,For your current setup, yes, the USB cable does matter. This is because you're directly connecting your source device (Bryston BDP-2) to the processing device (PS Audio Direct Stream DAC). As mentioned in my previous message, there is no erro... | |

| Mac vs PC... Is Mac really better? & better audio experience out of your PC??????? Neither platform is inherently better than the other. Mac hardware is tightly controlled by Apple and the Mac platform itself has generally catered to multimedia professionals, whereas PC’s are generally viewed as a more generic platform for compu... | |
