| Chromecast and external DAC Lot easier than I expected. Node 2 sounds more crisp with more detail and overall just a bit livelier but only a little bit. Definitely not day and night difference and certainly not 15 times better but clearly audible nonetheless. Part of it coul... | |
| Chromecast and external DAC Will gladly oblige. I’ll just take the Node2 upstairs and swap it with the CC. By the way, those of you who have an iPhone and a DAC, owe it to yourselves to try it with the camera adapter cable USB connection. It sounds incredibly good streaming ... | |
| Chromecast and external DAC So I waited until I got the optical cable to give some more feedback on my experience with Chromecast Audio. In the meantime I let the Modi to soak in and also got the cable adapter to connect my iPhone to the USB port on the Modi. Streaming the s... | |
| Why did it take so long I think the original question posed by the OP, in itself proves the point that its taken a long time for digital to get on par with a good analog playback. Outside of listening to music live and unless you had a mastering quality reel2reel in you... | |
| What other streaming services do you recommend besides Tidal? That's awesome. Let us know how you make out. | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp That sounds like a wonderful piece of audiophile gear. Love to hear more about the specs. Knowing Aric's attention to details and his choice of excellent components, I have no doubt it'll be a great success. Even his lower end Unlimited preamplifi... | |
| Need passive aggressive advice I looked it up out of curiosity but don't see anew specs except the physical dimensions. What are the specs for the input and output impedance? | |
| What other streaming services do you recommend besides Tidal? uberwaltz, Node2 does stream and supports both WiFi and hardwire Ethernet connectivity. The original question/concern was about Tidal dropouts and my comment was that even with a good/fast broadband speed, the likelihood of dropouts can still vary... | |
| Can anyone listen to side 1 of Tchaikovsky "1812 Overture"? So, what happens when it hits those canon shot grooves? It skips? Just wondering. | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 Congratulations. Its always very satisfying to find something you like so much and stay well below budget. Enjoy. Its supposed to be a great DAC, especially for Redbook CD playback. | |
| Speaker Upgrade I would get the ADS without any hesitation as long as my room size allows it to breath. Their bass can get boomy if your room is too small or the speakers are too close to the wall. The only other consideration would be your amplifier since those ... | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? + imhifiman. Great find. The OP can get one for each room and still stay within the budget. A true "integrated". | |
| Pick A Tube Phono Preamp, but not just any Tube Phono Preamp You may want to post this on the Analog section as well since some hardcore vinyl members don't leave that section. That aside, I'll throw in Mapletree Audio and Aric Audio as two more options for all tube preamps. I have one of Aric's line stage ... | |
| Dated but still A rated DACs Lite DAC-83, if you can find one used. I remember reading a while back this model being the best for CD playback. I think they also had a transport to pair with this DAC. | |
| What other streaming services do you recommend besides Tidal? “The node 2 offers both wireless and wired connection for internet I believe.”Yes it does have an Ethernet port but that just replaces the wireless “connection“ between your router and the Node2. You still need to consider the connection between d... |
