How many of you believe in 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... 
How many of you believe in MQA?
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...

Hi David,what i I was asking is what DAC’s are out that could be hooked up to the Bluesound that can totally unfold MQA and be controlled remotely by iPhone,iPad and PC Notebook without having to get out of a chair to change to another album?

If I continue to use my Bluesound, what MQA DAC would you hook up to it so I could control the Bluesound by way of iPhone, iPad and PC notebook?

I just got my Bluesound set up.  John at Bluesound  is terrific.  I set up my the app and Tidal looks the same as it does on my Apple TV.  Like it best on my PC.Are any of you familiar with the Bel Canto eOne streamer.  If so, is it worth triple t... 
How many of you believe in MQA?
big_greg,What I was referring to is the only way I can hear complete unfold using the Pro-Ject S2 DAC is to hook my PC computer to it via USB.  I wish I could understand more how it works because the dealer did not explain it well to me because he...

audiojedi,I thought if you play a Bluesound Node 2i RCA (analogue out) through a DAC on a receiver or an amplifier that is not MQA certified, it automatically defaults back to 24/88.2 because this is only one MQA unfold.  If I were to connect the ... 
How many of you believe in MQA?
Thanks everyone.  I had hoped to hear 24/192, but probably would not detect much of a difference between that and 24/88.2 anyway.  When playing the Bluesound through RCA, it sounded harsher than through through the DAC.  Bass sounded more boomy an... 
Separate DAC or continue using the Oppo UDP-205
I agree with Sonicjoy.You need to start streaming with a Bluesound or a Bel Canto streamer to take advantage of hi res music from TIDAL or QOBUZ.  You might want to take a look at the Pro-Ject S2 DAC retailing for $400.Here is a review to watch:  ... 
RMAF 2019!
I thought by far the PS Audio room was the best.  Paul McGowan's new floor standing speakers were just incredible sounding.  They really played neutral and the built in subwoofers were so articulate.  They were not slightly boomy and the mids and ... 
What is the right choice?
I like the Parasound integrated idea.  You should be able to buy that for $2,500 with some negotiating.  Last year at the RMAF, they sold 3 for $2,250.  Parasound puts out a lot of current.  Not sure why manufacturers talk about watts when they sh... 
Why do digital coax cables matter?
I stream TIDAL hard wired CAT6 from my 5G modem to my 16 bit capable Apple TV connected via Audioquest Coffee HDMI cable and I still think my system sounds great.  However, I have recently decided to purchase a Bluesound so I can take advantage of...
