| Ethernet Cable or Not? “If I upgrade my WiFi receiver to a Blusound Node2 would that be a big step up, or would the LPS still be needed?”Node2 have been widely praised for its performance so I would say yes to better performance over your TB20. No LPS needed with Node 2... | |
| Separate Dac, and what kind? +1, jl35.Don’t waste your money on a new DAC unless you upgrade your source. If you love Sonos app (just as much I do) then Wyrd4 Sound upgrade is a must. Bluesound Node or Aurender N100 ( if you can afford it) will get you much better sound even ... | |
| Separate DAC and Streamer or go with a Streamer DAC? Another nod for Zen mini and Aqua La Voce. Both are excellent choices given your budget. Going the separates route always afford more flexibility with future upgrades. | |
| Rip CD’s to ? I agree with @pdreher, the ripped CD’s in Vault sounds flat. Unless you plan to connect Vault to an external DAC for playback I would look elsewhere. I use my vault for its ripping and occasional streaming in my second system. The Vault app is g... | |
| Ethernet Cable or Not? OP,Solid advise so far, I would recommend Supra CAT 8 cable for your trial. Based on my experience, wired connection should yield improved SQ and stability in your system. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Supra-CAT-8-ETHERNET-cable-1-meter-Made-In-Sweden-... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ Frank,What’s after that....PPT Preamp, Amp, DAC? Would you be willing to part with your beloved ARC gear for PPT electronics 😉 | |
| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? “on a quality system, with a quality source, they should sound the same“. I respectfully disagree, they cannot sound the same (close maybe) even if the playback is from the same master file. Everytime I heard and compared, Vinyl and Digital (CD or... | |
| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? @big_greg,Great post, the world needs open minded people like you. At the end of day, music matters the most not the source. | |
| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? jperry,Not everyone likes to hear ticks and pops that have long plagued the vinyl playback. Not to mention, complicated setup and care required to play a darn LP. Can you replay that song you just heard without getting up from your throne 😉 | |
| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? @jaferd, Harshness can be due to equipment being new or from digital cable linking to your DAC. Did you buy PS Audio new or used? Just like your analog gear, digital gear will also require bit of tweaking and patience. What are you using as a sour... | |
| Whatever happened to the "Wanted" ad section? Nope, the WANTED ad was never free. I recall paying $4 for the ad. | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl @rbstehno, Great post. It all comes down to the original source of the recorded media. Vinyl being the oldest format has some of the best recorded material. I found many recordings on Tidal/ Qobuz and XRCD’s that are well recorded and very engagin... | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl “I hate CDs. They are a crappy collectible with crappy cases that crack when you sneeze. Little paper folders you can’t read that tear when you try to get them out”@mijostyn, I am going to keep it short n sweet since this thread isn’t about CD’s. ... | |

| What are you streaming tonight? Desire....Boz Scaggs Dig on Qobuz. |
