velodyne dd plus? still considered best of the best?
I almost went with a pair of the Rythmik 12" subs.  But decided to go with the REL S3's because of their high level connection.  They blend quite well because when connected that way they act like an additional woofer to help extend the bass witho...

Cycles2,I wonder if you are familiar with the Bel Canto eOne streamer.  A Bel Canto dealer told me the Bluesound is an applance and the Bel Canto an audiophile piece.  For triple the price, could I have heard a significant difference.At the dealer... 
Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC
The dealer I purchased my Bluesound Node 2i suggested i connect it by way of Audioquest Carbon digital coax cable to an inexpensive Pro-Ject S2 DAC.  He told me the the Pro-Ject, even though it is very inexpensive is better than the DAC inside the...

No one has explained why connecting a Bluesound (MQA certified device) to a Pro-Ject S2 (also MQA certified device) by way of digital coax cable destroys the full unfolding of MQA when both devices are MQA certified.

By adding a Pro-Ject S2 DAC to my Bluesound Node 2i, what will I loose in sound quality by breaking up the MQA chain?  Does the external DAC filter frequencies out or does it add frequencies to enhance tighter bass and more detailed highs?Why do s...

bkepke,I did not realize there was a Bel Canto room at the 2019 RMAF?  I looked for them in the directory and was unable to see them listed as an exhibitor.  I really wanted to meet with them.  I wonder if you were referring to the 2018 show?I wan...

Why would Pro-Ject bother to manufacture their DAC MQA certified if it breaks the MQA unfolding chain?  To get MQA in the first place, you need to stream music through some sort of music streamer that is MQA certified?  What the dealer told me aga...

Hi Audio Jedi,I thought MQA played through a non certified MQA DAC defaults to 24/88.2 max vs the 24/96 you posted?

I have been thinking since the Bluesound is MQA certified and the Pro-Ject S2 DAC is MQA certified, why would the dealer I purchased the Pro-Ject DAC tell me by connecting the Bluesound by way of digital coax to the Pro-Ject DAC which is also MQA ...

Do you have a Bluesound?  If you do, did you connect it digital coax to an external DAC to your amplifier or receiver?The Bluesound can play up to 32 bit just like my DAC.  i have switched the RCA's back and forth between the Bluesound and the Pro...

Brian,I really appreciate your insight since you are a music master engineer.How are most recordings made.  Are they recorded in 32 bit 192 kHz to begin with and then the recording studio copies 24 bit/192 kHz or 24 bit/96 kHz to a DVD or disk tha...

I added a Pro-Ject S2 DAC to my Bluesound Node 2i yesterday and I am not sure I like the new sound.  I seems to sound brighter and produces more bass.  I think the bass is more punchy and the highs are brighter.  To me, it sounds harsher, unless I...

Big Greg,I was talking about improving the sound quality of the DAC inside the Bluesound and being able to control TiDAl remotely by use of my iPhone and PC notebook.  Eventually, I will add a DAC in the $1,500 to $2,000 range to unveil more of wh...

David,Sorry for the confusion about the number of Albums Vincent Ingala has put out.  You are correct, it is 5 albums.  I had him confused with Herbie Hancock.By the way, I was at the RMAF two weeks ago and I asked several exhibitors to play Vince...
