| Replacement/upgrade for Bluesound and Chord Mojo 2 streamer/external DAC combo I have a Node2i feeding a PS Audio Directstream DAC Mk1 moded by APS Transformers. I've thought about upgrading to a more expensive streamer, but none support the two services that I stream, Idagio and Amazon HD. So I decided to upgrade the N... | |
| Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors Also, if you have cable for internet, check to make sure that it is grounded at the box where it enters the house. We had a lightning strike a few months ago that burned out my modem and router. Could have been worse; could have destroyed my s... | |
| Looking for a new DAC I will never purchase another piece of Denafrips gear. In December I purchased a Hermes 12th DDC. It will not play 24/192 files. I have gone round and round trying to get them to send me an RMA to a service center for repair, and they absolutely... | |
| What happened to the Innous discussion I have a Bluesound Node 2i. I moded it with a TeddyPardo LPS and the improvement in SQ was significant. I'm sticking with the Bluesound rather than moving up to a more expensive streamer because I really like the BluOS operating software. It's t... | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? Dave Brubeck Quartet Live at Carnegie Hall; Jazz Impressions of Eurasia Modern Jazz Quartet Blues on Bach | |
| Just received my LHY Linear Power Supply My experience tracks with other posters on this thread. I moded my Bluesound Node 2i with a TeddyPardo LPS. The improvement was significant!! Because I like the BluOS operating software, and it's the only OS that supports the two streaming serv... | |
| Bluesound Node Icon Owner Impressions I have to agree with soix regarding the LPS. I have a Node2i, using the coaxial digital out into a Denafrips Hermes 12th ddc, then into a modified PS Audio Directstream DAC Mk1. I am using the Node2i rather than a more expensive streamer becau... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20 If you are looking for something a little less expensive than the Focus SE, think about the Signature SE. Legacy claims that they are designed for listeners who want the sound of the Focus, but in a smaller form. I've had my Signature SE for al... | |
| 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... |
