| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system Edit: I incorrectly said Onkyo DTM-7 two posts up but meant Integra DTM-7. | |
| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system It's odd that the review would compare the Onkyo 8250 (streamer and amp) with the Bluesound Node 2i (streamer only), as opposed to the Powernode (streamer and amp, which would seem like a better apples-to-apples), but clearly the review contends B... | |
| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system Thanks, prpixel. Yeah agree on NAD M10. Wish it was $1500ish instead of $2500. I wouldn't be looking at it for this budget system I'm currently working on but it would be perfect for my BR.Yeah that Onkyo TX-8250 looks kinda similar to the Pion... | |
| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system So back to original questions: Does anything beat Bluesound Powernode 2i for $800 or less?Powernode 2i at $800 better than Integra DTM-7 at $650? | |
| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system Only negative thing I’ve noticed with nt-505 is maybe once every 5-7 hrs of playtime it will just exit (stop playing) for unknown reason. Sometimes it kicks back in, sometimes need power cycle. Better since fw update but still happens every now a... | |
| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system It’s really nice. Im not good at describing sound qualities but the spacing of instruments seems better (more separation) if that makes sense compared to my Integra dtm7. To be honest I can’t hear mqa sound difference with the Integra even with th... | |
| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system For context, I stream Tidal via a Teac NT-505 and can definitely hear the mqa difference vs regular flac tidal thru my Spendor D7’s in my main system. Maybe expecting too too much to be able to notice the quality difference when talking about NHT ... | |
| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system Reading more about Ps Audio Sprout 100, it seems that the onboard dac doesn’t support mqa. | |
| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system Prpixel, thanks. glennewdick, I guess because I will probably keep the setup for 10 yrs or so. Same reason I wouldn’t buy a 1080p tv today even though 4K content is sparse. Good question though, maybe I could reevaluate that aspect but just seems ... | |
| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system canibefrank,Integra DTM-7 has AKM4438 32-bit DAC and decodes MQA, 100Wx2 (8 ohm) for $650 (and DTM-6 for less). https://www.audioxpress.com/news/mqa-announces-integra-as-new-hardware-partner-while-onkyo-and-pioneer-further-expand-mqa-choices-for-... | |
| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system Edit: Within 2 years I could possibly see myself moving up the speaker food chain to Kef LS50 from the NHT C1, still using the little Sunfire sub. | |
| Teac NT-505 Firmware Upgrade Help Happy ending. Dealer was able to do the upgrade. Turns out I’m an idiot as I was using the USB labeled port on rear and not the unlabeled micro USB port buried near bottom. My bad ... |
