| Lumin D2 or U1 Mini Thanks for that input. You must have a pretty good analog gear! | |
| Lumin D2 or U1 Mini Good Point. The D2 also gives you the flexibility as standalone. Or even use the digital out into the Benchmark. How good is the sound though from the D2? Comparable than running the U1 Mini through the Benchmark? Is DSD capability important in r... | |
| Lumin D2 or U1 Mini You are right ddude. I would use the benchmark as preamp, taking the analog signal from the D2. | |
| External DAC connection for Bluesound Node 2i (after "Another streaming newbie" thread) I run a Bluesound into a Benchmark 3 HGC. It sounds great. | |
| Parasound JC3+, or Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista Vinyl phonostage, or Whest Audio PS.40RDT SE Whest is specialized in Phono Preamps. I have the Whest PS.30DTSE. Outstanding product. | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i surprised it can‘t Airplay. | |

It synchronises easily with all my Apple devices. As for SQ, difficult to compare but for shure good recordings sound good on either services a... | |
| Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying Shure, each situation is different and decisions to be made in that context. I find Apple Music very convenient and therefore I use Airplay a lot. Thats why I am asking whether the benefits of a superior streamer or transport also apply to Airplay... | |
| Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying From what I read here, these Lumin products seem to be the best that streaming has to offer. It appears they would be a very significant step up over my Bluesound 2i - Benchmark DAC3 setup. 😮 Is that also true for their Airplay implementation?Woul... | |
| Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers Thank you for the comments. These days i listen a lot to Apple Music. How is this integrated? | |
| Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers I am trying to revive this thread.I am running a BlueSound 2i into a Benchmark DAC. I find the BlueSound interface handy and reliable.Sounds great. Most limitations come from the recording quality anyhow. It seems to me that the SQ originates most... | |
| Best Preamp - NO preamp... (?) Point taken. |
