| Streamer + DAC or streamer/dac all in one? Most dacs are advancing at rapid pace but LUMIN D2 uses a 13 yr old dac that came out same year original iPhone released —ie, Stone Age tech. . Don’t buy a dac with such outdated tech as LUMIN d2 | |
| Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying T2 vs NT505 was the question and you quickly tried to change subject by changing to D2 which uses 13 yr old dac and then to X1 which is different level. The nt505 competes with T2 is what I’ve been told by people who’d compared them and costs less... | |
| All-in-one: $1k Marantz or $2k Hegel? Thanks for link and Denon suggestion. Wasn’t aware of either | |
| Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying Audio doc have you evaluated $2k Teac NT-505?i have been told it destroys $2.3k LUMIN D2 (no contest) and is just as good as $4.5k Lumin T2. My guess is you will say you haven’t heard Teac.Teac is parent of Esoteric so yes in digital they have acc... | |
| All-in-one: $1k Marantz or $2k Hegel? Powernode was driving NHT-C1 bookshelves. Office is 14x11ish. I don’t really have room for floorstanders or stands. Speakers have to sit on a table 2ft from wall. I know not ideal. I just haven’t been that satisfied with the fullness of the Powern... | |
| All-in-one: $1k Marantz or $2k Hegel? For sure. The cool part for me is dealer has all three brands (Kef, marantz, Hegel) so if I get lucky and they stock those amps in the showroom I should get to A/B them | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE Glad it worked out | |
| All-in-one: $1k Marantz or $2k Hegel? The Naim Uniti is $3k+, outside of my budget for this system. Similarly for NAD M10 at 2.75ish. In reality, at twice the cost the SQ of Hegel will have to be much better than the marantz for me to justify the extra cost, but if it is then it’ll be... | |
| All-in-one: $1k Marantz or $2k Hegel? More info: my main system is Spendor and ARC and is sound I prefer but this will be much lower budget system. I found the Powernode 2 to sound thin and small and looking for better SQ. | |
| Streamers with best apps? I find LUMIN, BluOS, and Heos to all be good. I don’t like PlayFi. | |
| Help w/D+ stream audio to speakers Got it solved. Needed to set TV sound out not only to ARC, but also subsetting PCM. Works now | |
| Help w/D+ stream audio to speakers Not sure. All I have used as sources in past are Sat box and Blu ray player previously. Have never tried streaming Netflix or YouTube or anything else or receiving over air channels. I will keep trying to figure out solution that doesn’t involve r... | |
| TEAC NT-505 - How good is it? @musicmann1 , did you ever upgrade from the Teac? If so, to what and how did it compare to the nt-505? | |
| Forever speakers around $5000 Regarding differences between Spendor A series and D series, the D has superior tweeter (in house design LPZ, it’s fantastic), superior rear port (5th gen Formula 1 inspired, whatever that means but Spendor considers it a major upgrade over A seri... | |
| All in one solution for bedroom system. Suggestions from all appreciated. I own the Bluesound Powernode 2. It’s okay if your budget is under $1k. But you can do better if you spend more than that.I’m considering upgrading to unibox marantz pm7000n, or maybe something a little higher than that if I can find something bet... |
