Redbook Keeps Surprising
Should I expect much better sound quality if I connect my midfi CDP to a good quality DAC, similar to the method described above - instead of the thumb drive? I have Bluesound Node2 but not sure it takes input from a CDP. They both have optical in... 
High Quality Universal Player??
Does Oppo support streaming Tidal wirelessly through WiFi? 
What is you TIDAL setup?
Thanks wtf. I have not compared the DAC in Node 2 with other DACs so I have no frame of reference but most folks seem to find it decent so I never bothered to look elsewhere. I'm quite happy with the Tidal HiFi sound quality played through Node 2.... 
Revel salon 2 vs vandersteen 5a carbons
Wonder why there are so many Salons for sale in the second hand market... almost half the retail price. I sure wished I could afford them. 
What is you TIDAL setup?
Bluesound Node 2 -> Schiit Sys -> power amplifier wtf, do you find the DAC in Bifrost much superior to the DAC in Node2? I'm intrigued. 
I NEED AN AMP!! BUT WHAT?? HELP PLEASE!!
That Bryston is not $600, it's the current bid. 
I NEED AN AMP!! BUT WHAT?? HELP PLEASE!!
Hybrid design Vincent SP-331 stereo amp; 150wpc @ 8ohms and 300wpc @ 4ohms. Very detail and warm sound. Built like a tank. 
Dipole Asymmetry
maplegrovemusic, Same thing happened to me. I was doing a double blind listening test with a couple of friends comparing interconnects. My wife happened to step behind my left Aerius i speaker to switch on the little spot light on the floor and my... 
RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5
The last time I checked, the law of physics was still alive and working. I have no doubt those little speakers would have sounded awesome in my college dorm room but I bet the guy who invented them was not even born back then. That aside, let's ge... 
Bluesound Node 2
Thank you guys. I'm also quite impressed by both their product as well as their customer service. It is practically a complete preamp/DAC, even with a subwoofer output, of course with the limitations noted above. They spent literally two hours on ... 
Bluesound Node 2
Will the Roon upgrade be pushed to existing units or only on new models? Also, has anyone tried using the USB port to play music from a computer? So far I've only used mine for wireless streaming. Thanks. 
Adcom 555 SE owners .. Any reviews?
This must be NOS Adcom amplifier. I thought Adcom was no longer in business. By the way, I still have my GFA545 amp and GTP400 preamp I bought new back in 1987 and use it daily in my office set up. The earlier Adcom components were built to late. ... 
Questioning the need for a DAC
OP, you say you have a "modified" Oppo 103 maybe the DAC in your Oppo is really very good indeed. Any response you'll get from current "regular" Oppo owners will not be relevant to your question. If you're asking a general question, I'd say why no... 
Dipole Asymmetry
If it were me I wouldn't worry about it too much. You could try putting a diffuser panel (as opposed to absorption) behind the other speaker to even out the reflections compared to the rack. The GiK suggestion is a great one. If it matters (to you... 
MBL omnidirectional speakers. How do they sound ?
I heard the MBL "system" during one of my travels in Dubai in a store that looked more like a luxury HiFi supermarket, a few stores down from the Ferrari dealership. The demo room was acoustically optimized and the presentation was simply unreal. ...
