| Separate Amp for AV receiver OP, you have a nice 2 channel system, but you can’t compare your mid Fi HT components to premium priced 2 channel equipment and make a valid comparison. It’s like expecting the same performance from a Hyundai Sonata and an upscale Mercedes Benz. ... | |
| Streamer question No experience here with either. Do they include DACs, or are you pretty set in that department? I love my Melco N 100, which is a great streamer and NAS with a 2 TB HD. No DAC included and you need to supply a CD ripper if you are going to conv... | |
| Ten year old digital source upgrade suggestions? My set up, with which I am very happy, is a Melco N100, and Melco D 100 for a ripper and CD transport. The N100 feeds a SHM room correction device which uses Dirac Room Correction (the SHM also a streamer contained within, which I don’t use), a... | |
| Ten year old digital source upgrade suggestions? It sounds like there is an issue with the rips. It could be the Samsung, or (presumably iTunes) Apple software, or the interface between the two. I don’t think is supporting iTunes, which is potentially another issue. There is software that imp... | |

How do the rips compare to CD replay of the same disc? Are you using a software package to enhance ripping capabilitie... | |

| New Bluesound Node – First Impressions Get a decent DAC, then run both the Disc spinner and the Node into it to begin to start comparisons. Then perhaps rip files to HD and compare the same files on the disc spinner | |
| Time for new Categories-This is directed to you Audiogon I suppose the analog section could be expanded to lp, Reel to Reel, cassette, fm tuner…I wouldn’t mind seeing Bluetooth getting its own section. I know it technically a subset of Digital, but it really is a different type of animal, and I hate it... | |
| Need help selecting a streamer for a beginner. The discussion here between @david_ten and @fuzztone is interesting because of the changing nature of digital technology and terminology. For example, the term “integrated amp” , now sometimes called “digital amp”now routinely refers to what I wo... | |
| Possible issues with Marantz CD player Budget? | |
| Apple Music It raises the larger question as to why companies such as Apple and Amazon are pursuing a market interested in better sound. Since most people don’t care, and since those two companies already own about half the wealth of the world, why should th... | |
| Need help selecting a streamer for a beginner. I wouldn’t pay much attention to the above…There are numerous threads in this section addressing your very issue. You won’t have to scroll very far to find them. My recommendation is the Bluesound Node2. It works better wired, but everything do... | |
| Network streamer that works with Android and Pandora What’s the deal with Pandora? Bluesound lists every possible service except them | |
| Possible issues with Marantz CD player I won’t buy any Marantz products after a couple of dud s and customer service that borders on contempt for consumers. | |
| House renovation: Help with 3.1(.2) vs 5.1(.2) vs soundbar Again, I recommend in walls for the rears, doesn’t matter if the sofa is actually touching the walls although it would be nice to bring the sofa out into the room a bit |
