| How old is too old? A used or refurbished Oppo with a D bob might do the trick and take care of all your digital disc spinning need all in one place through the DAC or your choice DSD intact! | |
| Geer Fab DBOB coax cable problem Have a pretty basic dac magic 200m. I wasn’t sure if it would significantly improve the sound of my older rotel cd player even but it was pretty major. I wasn’t sure disappointed to discover that i could not play sacs though the dac which was a bi... | |
| Bluesound node confusion Any advice on Dirac setup is welcome | |
| Bluesound node confusion Loving qobus and the node. Very cool listening experience for me went ahead and tuned it up with Dirac live! That is a work in progress! | |
| Bluesound node confusion Certainly am having fun! Thanks | |
| ??? Are Manufacturers Killing Our Hobby ??? I think that if high end manufacturers placed more emphasis on making entry level products that blow your hair back it might garner more enthusiasm for the hobby. The audio tags also cater too much to the stuff that’s out of reach for most of us s... | |
| Bluesound node confusion Yes, getting the hang of it. Where does roon play into the whole streaming game? Is that for a separate server or another interface app? | |
| Bluesound node confusion Been streaming qobuz. Something sonically very cool happening there! Huge sound stage! Great dynamics. My second system may be my primary for a while. Love this hobby! Always surprises. Going to trial tidal also to see which one is a better fit fo... | |
| Bluesound node confusion It's a Sony Blu Ray player. It doesn't recognize the signal from the HDMI audio output for some reason. Just bought an HDMI audio extractor and using the optical output from that. That may be the only option for this situation. | |
| Bluesound node confusion There’s definitely a learning curve to this! Still trying to figure out how to get sound through the HDMI port. Signed up for Qobuz. Glad the old outlaw pre/pro died. Just having the icon as a stand alone is a MAJOR improvement. If anyone has an i... | |
| Bluesound node confusion Will do! Should be here in time for weekend setup. Cheers! | |
| Bluesound node confusion Went with the Icon. Thanks! It does it have a coax input but I can use the HDMI audio out on my cheap Blu-ray if I wanna use it for SACD so I decided that that’s not a dealbreaker. Thanks for all the input and I will be following up! | |
| Bluesound node confusion My situation has changed. My old Outlaw preamp/processor has died so now I’m going to have to use the standalone streamer dac as a preamp also so now I’m looking at the node icon, but there are some other ones out there that are comparable in pric... | |
| Bluesound node confusion Dirac correction is probably worth it to me. Internal dad should be fine for the level of system I’m running it in. Thanks everyone for the input! | |
| Bluesound node confusion Thanks for all the info! I didn’t know the 130 referred to the 2021 version. I was planning on getting no earlier than that so that helps me a whole bunch. Thanks for the source references too. I was watching a YouTube video about the node that th... |
