| Can anyone recommend a good streamer/DAC? I had Sonos boxes and updated to a Node 2i. It works well..once you get your music library organized for consistency. That was the longest part as I have 7000+ cuts. | |
| Ok now I am frustrated with streaming I have a node 2i...sound is great, but I only stream my library over my household network; none of the subscription services. My internet speed is 100mpbs and I have no problem streaming video on two larger tvs | |

| Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service Most will not be hi res. If they were originally recorded before digital recording, they cannot be high res as the source was not. Putting them in a high res package, does not improve the resolution. | |
| Speaker toe in Just toe them in till they sound the best to you... | |
| Any Love For Bryston Here? They are excellent amps. I have had two Bryston 4B amps for years performing biamp duties for my Magnepans. I also use a Bryston 10B crossover. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Power cords. No question there. If you think a fancy power cord will make the difference, when the remainder of your house wiring is barely equal to a cheap power cord, you are deluding yourself. | |
| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank I had good luck with Benchmark Media Systems. They sell XLR or RCA. Very reasonable... about $60/ pair. | |
| So you want to buy a turntable? brilliant! | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Cables seem very much in the realm of a religious discussion. Dr. Aix (Mark Waldrep) on realhd.com has had some interesting posts about cables from a recording engineer point of view....I tend to agree with him. |
