| Which NAS should I choose? Melco. Sounds better, reliable, can also be used as a a player, and worth the extra cost | |
| AirPlay So the streaming service that I use for this is Pristine Classical. These are historic recordings, almost all in mono, frequently pre WW II. The digital restoration is amazing, but I find that AirPlay or Bluetooth is enough fidelity for these as... | |
| New Receiver Advice I own two Anthem. MX-570 AVRs. I really like the Anthem Room Correction software | |
| Do you trust your system? I am wondering what question the OP is asking. Of course I trust my system. Different remasterings of recordings will sound different. If his system is good enough to allow him to hear these differences, then it is doing the job | |
| Buying refurbished gear.... I bought a Bryston Optical Disk player that was “factory refreshed”. Terrible outcome. Never worked, had to pay shipping twice on both ends to send to Bryston for repair, now it resides in a landfill. | |
| Oppo UDP-203 I have a 105, and when Oppo announced they were going to be stopping manufacturing I bought a 203. It’s been in a secondary system and it definitely bested the previous player, a Sony ES SACD that is pretty highly regarded in this forum. I actua... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II Pehare I would doubt that the Node will sound as good as the Cary, but if the Cary has digital inputs, then you can run the Node into the DAC of the CD player and do your own comparison | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II I heard the current Node in a system at a dealer last summer and I was very impressed. I have the Node2 and I am currently using it in a secondary system,, driven by an Anthem AVR 540 MX. I switched it from a digital input to the AVR (therefo... | |
| McIntosh MCD 201 CD/SACD player questions about viability of an older piece. Does the 2700 DAC/Preamp have some sort of McIntosh proprietary input for older McIntosh transports? A IS2, or a FireWire, or some other reason to pair it with the older transport? Or is having an all McIntosh system the primary consideration? ... | |
| Please help my ignorant a$$, I just want a good streamer...I think. OP I feel your pain. Streaming has been a Rabbit Hole for me as well, with many expensive false starts. In your situation you probably should have got the Vault instead of the Node. If you like the Node (and it sounds pretty decent if you... | |
| As a chill electronica listener, should I stop at a Med-Fi system? I listen to Classical Music about 99% of the time. I think it is the most demanding genre to reproduce for many reasons, including dynamic range. When I listen to non Classical on my system, I always feel like I am driving a Rolls Royce in a d... | |
| Help With A New DAC/Streamer I really like my Cambridge Audio CXN 60 streamer/DAC combo, and it’s only $1100. The Stream Magic App works well and it also is great for Internet Radio, Podcasts, and everything else. It has sAirPlay and Chromecast. The DAC is a good 24 bit Wo... | |
| Wireless vs. Ethernet for Streaming I used to have a Bryston BDP3. The WiFi was problematic | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal @mahgister ””I will shut all of this off now” If only | |
| Proposal: I never upgraded my wheels from the tricycle I got when I was 4 years old. I have always been into vintage equipment with analog power supplies |
