| Ok now I am frustrated with streaming OK, thank you everyone for the help. We can end the discussion, it appears to be caps in my amp. It started happening this morning, I switched to CD and it continued. Frustrating, but now I know its not the streaming. @gosta you're welcome. Listen... | |
| Ok now I am frustrated with streaming @ajcrocker1 Awesome, thank you, so its not just me and my caps aren't going on my amp! Glad you heard the same thing. | |
| Ok now I am frustrated with streaming @taww - no it was not the Bluesound, I also plugged my MacBook in and was streaming Tidal and Qobuz and it was doing the same so that rules out the Bluesound | |
| Ok now I am frustrated with streaming @mwinkc I am running the Node 2i plugged into a wall jack. The wall jack is Cat 5e which I installed myself 8 years ago when our home was being built and it runs maybe 40 ft up to the closet one floor above where my router and modem are located. I... | |
| What are the signs of caps going in an Amp? I did not mean to cross post this but I also posted about this in the digital section since I thought it might be streaming related. But her is my synopsis from tonight: tonight I listed for a little over 2 hours and everything was perfect and res... | |
| What are the signs of caps going in an Amp? @jond No dimmers in the room. But we do have an outlet that is connected to a smart home wireless setup to control lights in the room as well as a light switch in the room where the router is located. The router and modem are in a closet in the ro... | |
| Ok now I am frustrated with streaming @andrewkelley no, I am just using the DAC in the Node right now. Eventually I plan on adding a DAC | |
| Ok now I am frustrated with streaming OK, so tonight I listed for a little over 2 hours and everything was perfect and resulted in a great listening session. Working from home right now has its privileges. Spent my whole lunch hour on the phone with both Xfinity and Asus. First Xfinit... | |

| What are the signs of caps going in an Amp? @georgehifi I took the cover off the amp and everything looks clean, all the large caps look great, almost new. No bulging, no shrinking on the plastic wrap on them, no leaking anywhere. Took the cover off the pre and same. There were only 2 large... | |
| Ok now I am frustrated with streaming Thanks everyone. My big question is this: When digital streamers have an issue with signal, what would be the result in sound? I would not think it would sound like distortion or a slightly out of tune radio station. I keep thinking now it may be ... | |
| Ok now I am frustrated with streaming Thanks everyone. Yes, I know good old fashioned CD's are the way to go and no I did not get rid of them. I don't want to give up on streaming yet as I was really enjoying it, it sounded better than CD in some cases and I enjoy finding new artist. ... | |
| Interconnect cable recommendations for Node 2i and DAC Thank you all for the suggestions. I have been listening to Qobuz the last couple nights and doing some strong A/B comparisons. Qobuz does IMHO sound better. Its more natural, organic, even more open. I was listening to a lot of female vocal, Alis... | |
