| Bluesound Node Icon I too am wondering if the streaming section of the new Bluesound Icon is significantly improved from the Bluesound Node 2i that I am presently using. I'm using the Bluesound for the OS; it's the only OS that supports both of the streaming services... | |
| PSAudio Directstream DAC M-1 (refurb) vs Denafrips Venus II. Quick decision needed! I meant "FPGA DAC"; Field Programable Gate Array. | |
| PSAudio Directstream DAC M-1 (refurb) vs Denafrips Venus II. Quick decision needed! I have a PS Audio Directstream Mk1. I sent it to APS Transformers (J K Richards) for modification/upgrade. I thought it was a good DAC to begin with; but after their modification, it's a great DAC!! The mods gave it a better, deeper soundstage... | |
| Where to purchase cables? I too am using Morrow cables. Great cables at a reasonable cost. Plus, they offer the option to burn them in. I was using the lower models of Audioquest previously, and the Morrow cables are a definite improvement. | |
| Legacy Audio Focus SE and rivals I got a pair of Signature SE two years ago. I originally bought a pair of Classic HD, and after listening to them for awhile always kicked myself for not going for the Signatures instead. However, the factory gave me a very generous trade in on... | |
| Bluesound mode not really cutting it I have a Node 2i. I stream mostly from Amazon Music HD and Idagio. I have looked into upgrading to a higher end streamer, but I cannot find anything that supports these two streaming services. (Innuos supports Idagio, but not Amazon, and has no in... | |
| Alta Alec vs Legacy Signature SE vs Elac Vela 408.2 I purchased a pair of Signature SE two years ago. Prior to that I had a pair of Legacy Audio Classic HD. Always regretted not going with the Signatures right from the start, but the factory gave me a really generous trade in deal. Sound charact... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA I use them under my Legacy Audio Signature SE's. Made a noticeable improvement in bass and soundstage (deeper, better separation between instruments, just a cleaner, better focused sound.) My speakers are sitting on a hardwood floor over plywood s... | |
| Bluesound Yep, problem seems to be fixed. I'm still going to try Tidal to see how it compares, both in SQ and the OS interface. | |
| Bluesound I tried Qobuz but I didn't like the interface at all. Whereas Amazon has a "station" based on a particular artist, Qobuz did not seem to have that feature. The SQ was great, however. I think I'll try Tidal and see if their interface is better. If ... | |
| Bluesound My experience is that it is only happening with Amazon Music. I also play Idagio and radio stations through TuneIn and have not had a problem with either. | |
| Bluesound So today, the problem is even worse. I can't log in to Amazon Music HD at all. Perhaps it's time to try Tidal!! | |
| Bluesound Yes, this issue began last week on my Node 2i. It seems to happen most often when playing a "Station" on Amazon. Sometimes it won't play the Station at all, displaying that message; other times it will play two or three songs, then stop and di... | |
| Updating my streamer It's important to choose a streamer whose app supports the streaming services that you choose to use. I stream from Amazon HD and Idagio. The only app I have found that supports both of these services is the BluOS. So although I'd like to move ... | |
| New speakers for a new start? I have a room setup very similar to yours, with the exception that it has 9 foot walls and a vaulted ceiling. I am using a pair of Legacy Audio Signature SE, and I absolutely love them. Large sweet spot, great bass extension, and a very wide a... |
