Mid Range Streamer DAC recommendation help requested!
I wonder if you did a  blind testing if you can really hear the difference between a Bluesound Node 2i and a high end streamer?  If so, what would you hear.  Dealers here in Denver don't really demonstrate different streamers to compare.  If there... 
Doe you enjoy your listening to music and your system more with others or alone?
Most people can care less.  They think you are crazy for spending more than $200.  Go to their house and they have the TV sitting on a $5,000 entertainment center listening to their TV speakers. 
Streaming: WiFi or wired??
If you are going to stream hard wire using CAT6.  Otherwise you will get signal breakup. 
Looking at Focal
I listened to them and the first thing I thought was, “where’s the bass”. 
Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?
I hope you are kidding.the real answers is you must be able to do 100 push-ups in a minute. 
Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?...
My wife would skin me alive if I brought home something this ugly. 
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
I still don't know what the attraction for turntables and vinyl is all about other than the looks of a $20,000 turn table.Right now I think streaming is what it is all about.  So nice to not have to get up and down to change an album or song.  Plu... 
Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i?
If you add an external DAC to the Node 2i, you will not be able to listen to MQA.  I purchased an external DAC with my Node 2i and preferred the Node 2i played by itself.  Bass was better with just the Node 2i and I thought the imaging was also be... 
Lumin or Aurender
What's wrong with your Bluesound Node 2i?I will bet if you do a blind test and compare all three, you might not be able to detect much of a difference.  I would be curious if the dealer told you, you were listening to either the Lumin or Aurender ... 
Speakers that are a great value!
You need to call Jim Salk at Salk Audio.  He sells only direct so he can afford to use the best drivers and cabinet build.  The Song3 Encores are incredible at $6,000/pair.Tell him Larry Edwards from Denver sent you.  
How long could it take
I think if you list them for $5 they would sell fast. 
How Do You Live The Audiophile Life
A lot depends on where you live and the dealers there.  Reviews are misleading because it depends upon how much the manufacturer discounted the equipment to the writer.Audio  shows are helpful.  However, how many years before we have one due to CO... 
How Do You Live The Audiophile Life
Going to audio shows is really helpful.  Hear they are having one in 2025. 
What could cause this amp to fail?
This is why i always buy new.  Nothing like having a 5 year warranty.  I am sure there are reasons why people sell of their equipment.  
Big source improvement using CD player
I agree.  Try TIDAL.  No noise and better sound quality.  If you really must have a CD/DVD player buy an OPPO.  Have fun getting up and down to change music.  I can play one or two tunes from TIDAL and then move onto the rest or build my own mix o...
