| $1000-$2000 Floor-standing speakers for larger room w/NAD 326bee Many great suggestions above. In your price range you really can't go wrong. However, the "cat clause" may be your biggest issue. One suggestion I did not see above is Epos K2.I had a pair and loved them. Got a great deal from Music Direct on... | |
| What's needed to Steam Tidal Per Tidal you can only get the "HiFi" quality via the desktop application or Google Chrome web browser. Otherwise you're not getting the full output from Tidal. Are you using either of those? If not, just install either/or then do a comparison.... | |
| Which server / renderer to buy? PG62- I've been looking in the same realm as you. Not solving your "problem" here but I think I'm gonna hold out for the new wyred 4 sound server/streamer that is coming out this summer. I enjoy their products and expect big leaps in interface q... | |
| Opinions on Nuprime vs D-sonic vs Red Dragon vs Class D Audio Just want to give a nod to Wyred 4 Sound (W4S). I run a W4S DAC-2 straight into a ST-500 Mk II. Got a "combo" deal from The Music Room through AGon. I did a lot of reading (probably what you're doing) then became exhausted with all the research... | |
| Speaker Cable Suggestions I have analysis plus big silver oval. They are in you price range and well regarded. What sold me on them was when I saw them used in a $150,000 system. To me, it spoke volumes that a system designer at an audio show used them in such a rig. Fo... | |
| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? Haven't seen anyone mention Triangle speakers which are sensitive and tube-friendly. I have the Triangle Colors run by a Red Wine Audio (no longer in production) integrated, 15 wpc, and a red wine audio DAC. The speakers come with port plugs for... | |
| Thinking of replacing my Bat spaceheater with class D, real world thoughts please I recently switched from SS forever and went class D. I have been a Rega, Creek fan forever and needed to sell off some stuff to bring money back to the family. So, I sold some higher end Rega stuff and went to Wyred 4 Sound since I was intrigue... | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? @thiefoflight glad to hear that you are happy with the Bluesound. what did you have before you had the Bluesound? @cyanii Naim makes both streamers and servers but not one combined. Which is the criteria for my search. @rspyder: Thank you for... | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? @wardl : $5900?! I'll bet it is good. And not for me. That's more than my whole system combined. Please enjoy it for me. | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? @mahler123: what other equipment are you using with your blue sound? Would call the blue sound on the cool side of neutral? I would say My wyred 4 sound system is. Read that the bluesound was cool while the aurender is warm. Any thoughts? @war... | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? Def looking into aurender and bluesound. Does anyone know the country of origin for each? I think I read Aurender was German. Have not come across that for Bluesound. However, Bluesound price suggests "Far East". Can anyone confirm? | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? @mrotino , @lalitk Just saw this on the W4S site re: the modified Sonos" This new custom board is installed in the SONOS and directly converts the I²S into up-sampled SPDIF. This new ultra clean low jitter signal is now available through both the ... | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? For the modified sonos can you store files on it or is it just used to stream? I don't think that not being able to play high-res files is that a big of a deal. The promise of high-res was really cool to me but has turned out to be a great disap... | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? I read on the the Aurender N100H. It looks EXACTLY like what I'm looking for. Cost doesnt scare me away but it would be more than my amp and DAC combined. Finding a used one could be just the ticket...hooray for audiogon and craigslist. Big tha... | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? @mahler123. No budget specified at this point. Just need to know where to start looking. Also, I want something to store my music media and be able to stream Tidal in one box with one remote and nothing else. Riping CDs would be a cool built i... |
