| Phil Collins Remasters I am with @lowrider57, the Japanese and German remasters are much better sounding than US remasters. | |
| Bi Wire Cables vs Jumpers? IME, a shotgun bi-wire speaker cable will give you the best possible distortion less sound especially in high frequencies. I do understand budget constraints, for now I would use the jumpers supplied with the speakers until you can save up for a b... | |
| Upgrade over Sonos ZP90? @ja_zz,“One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. The great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, ash, and dust. The very air you... | |

| Upgrade over Sonos ZP90? @ja_zz, Just read your post, congratulations and enjoy DS/2. | |
| Upgrade over Sonos ZP90? @ja_zz,How good is Bluesound compared to Aurender?To my ears, N100 has a very expansive soundstage but it requires careful matching of downstream components especially the DAC and cable (USB or COAX). I say this cause I have seen few here have exp... | |
| Upgrade over Sonos ZP90? Steve, Ahh!...the good old debate on Seperates vs Integrated 😉I don’t have anything to gain from pushing either of these suggestions to ‘UP’ the SONOS performance so I am going to dish out my point of view, whether anyone agrees with me or not. Yo... | |
| Upgrade over Sonos ZP90? @audioengr,Would you say Synchro-Mesh Clocker is a better option than Wyrd 4 Sound modification? https://wyred4sound.com/products/upgrades-and-mods/sonos-connect-modifiedAfter all we are adding an additional expense of another S/PDIF cable and she... | |
| Upgrade over Sonos ZP90? @ja_zz,If you can find a Aurender N100C used that would give you the best digital sound quality among the three choices you mentioned above. Having said that, you can also look at Bluesound Node 2. I can’t think of anything else currently availabl... | |
| Best Network Music Streamer for Mcintosh Equipment @roddyboy,Azur 851N would be a great choice. They are currently beta testing Tidal streaming (big plus). I used to own 851N, the SQ is pretty good and a great value considering it’s asking price. Most online vendors offers 30 days return policy. T... | |
| Best Network Music Streamer for Mcintosh Equipment @roddyboy,To my ears, the digital files sounded dull and flat with C2500 internal DAC. My source was Aurender N10. IMO, C2500 has a very nice Analog sound. If you hadn’t already done so, try some Telefunken NOS tubes. If you really like the ‘house... | |
| Tidal on Cambridge About time, I once passed on otherwise superb Azur 851N due to lack of Tidal streaming. | |
| Sister's wants music system without the hassles! @jnovak, Would you care to put together a complete system with digital streaming, a pair of speakers and a sub under $1200? And don’t forget the IC’s, speaker wires, power strip and rack. BTW, have you actually heard a SONOS system?And please don’... | |
| Sister's wants music system without the hassles! I second the recommendation of SONOS. A pair of PLAY3 and a sub would be an amazing setup for her. I have the same setup in my study and the sound is very gratifying. I don’t think you can find anything close that sound as good as this setup in a ... | |
| Seeking Speaker Recommendations How about re-visiting one of the Audio Show for first hand listening experience to a wide variety of speakers and gear. AXPONA in April and LAAS in June coming up. |
