| Bluesound, best value streamer? " If you go digital out from the node, 24/96 is limit unless you have an MQA Dac."That's not quite true. Someone had said the same thing before and I asked Bluesound helpdesk to verify. Their response was MQA capability is supported through both a... | |
| Room Acoustics Those "foams" are a bit too soft for doing much absorption or refraction. They do help a little bit with bass trapping if the speakers are very close to side and/or back walls. I'm using their 2" wedge foams in my study where I'm forced to keep my... | |
| More discrete R2R Mulibit dacs. So, all those discrete components combined replace one chip? | |
| from Harbeth 30.1 to SHL5+, an upgrade or lateral move? I know all the discussions here are centered around comparing the speaker models but if you really like the sound of your current speakers and just need more bass, you may want to try a different amplifier - or even a preamplifier, to see if they ... | |
| Tube Watts Vs. Soild-State Watts? I stand corrected. I had only seen these high power large/single tube amps used in early telecom applications. | |
| What causes a chirp? +1 on the bird inside the speaker, especially if its a ported design. | |
| Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36 What is the size of your listening room and how close are the speakers from the adjacent walls? | |
| Tube Watts Vs. Soild-State Watts? I seriously doubt if the referenced single tube "transmitter" tube was designed for wideband audio reproduction. Sounds (no pun intended) like a component used for (tele)communication applications. Curios to hear more about it. | |
| Quick How to Stream MQA via Tidal to Bluesound Unless there's a hack I don't know of, regardless of what "component" you use for streaming, you still need the Tidal HiFi subscription in order to listen to MQA processed music. | |
| Streaming Tidal through Bluesound Node 2 vs Oppo 105D I find it a bit unusual to see someone comparing a $5000 CDP with a $500 streamer/DAC. Actually, Node2 can function as a full preamp/streamer/DAC with MQA feature to boot, if someone wanted to take full advantage of what it does. Best bang for the... | |
| Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??. What about Cary SLI-80 integrated, particularly the Signature model? Quite a few available on the used market from $2500-$3200, depending on the mods. They look great. Any personal experiences out there? | |
| Bluesound, best value streamer? The Bluesound app only works if you have a Bluesound device like a Node2, Vault, etc. You need to use the Tidal app on your mobile device to stream thru the non-Bluesound devices such as Meridian, etc. And as far as I know, full MQA capability is ... | |
| Quick How to Stream MQA via Tidal to Bluesound Good question. Unless something changed in that couple of months, the only way to get the full MQA treatment was using the Tidal app on a PC/ MAC. That aside, why use a Meridian Explorer when you can do the same using your Node2. And more importan... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts rotarius, it's very irresponsible to post baseless comments and badmouth someone without any proof. You sound just like someone else we all know... | |
| Wilson Audio floor jack How much clearance is available under the speaker? I bought a super low profile floor jack to lift my sports/race car a while back and didn't pay anywhere near $800. I wouldn't call it "jewelry" but did the job. Worth taking a look. |
