| Best blue ray player on market? Does the OP want a Universal Player? Sony and Yamaha are the only game in town, I believe. For Blu Ray only, LG and Samsung | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? The OP asks if streaming is evolving. Boy, is it ever. And not always in a good way.There is a thread in the Digital section on the Roon Nucleus. Apparently Roon did a software update that KO a lot of users who are now spending hours trying to ... | |
| ROON NUCLEUS+ KEEPS CRASHING Reading this thread, it’s always a reminder of how easy it is to pop a CD in a tray and hit “play” | |
| Wireless option for rear surround speakers? 7.2.4 I know someone that tried the Dali but couldn’t eliminate a time lag between the fronts and the rears | |
| Streaming Atmos on Netflix vs BluRay I can’t speak to Atmos, as I have two 5.1 systems in my home. However I lately was streaming a pair of shows while awaiting the second hand Blue Rays that I had ordered. When the Blue Raysarrived they were definitely fuller and more immersive th... | |
| Searching for a new CD player I’d go with spending the money on a decent DAC and use one of your older players or a repurposed DVD player as a transport. I also second the idea of burning the problem discs to a HD and then burning a new copy—I’ve done that with a few myself-o... | |
| Wireless option for rear surround speakers? 7.2.4 I don’t have an answer but it is question I’d like to see answered. I know a few people that have tried various solutions that haven’t worked well | |
| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? Streaming vs CDs is about convenience. Not having to change a CD, being able to call up a wide variety of tracks with a few swipes of a tablet, and not having to store physical media. Sound quality for streaming vs CD is essentially a non factor... | |
| SQ vs. Music My first thought was to dismiss the premise behind the question, but on reflection it is a valid query. I listen primarily to Classical. There are many classic pre stereo performances in my collection and I do listen to them. Restoration techni... | |
| I saved alot of money. Oops....I mistook the post by @reubent to be coming from the OP, @golden210... | |
| I saved alot of money. I am confused. In your original post you stated that the CD player and the BT were connected to the Hegel DAC, and you were comparing the sound from those 2 inputs. In your last post, you seem to indicate that you have connected the BT device di... | |
| I saved alot of money. I didn’t know that BT devices could be run through a conventional DAC. I thought that they had their own internal DACs. What kind of music does the OP listen to? | |
| Bose question My feeling is no, for the reasons expressed above. The discontinuity in timbre can be jarring. | |
| Bose question In the OP situation, what does Vienna Acoustics manufacture in terms of rears and Atmos? | |
| Bose question I have two 5.1 systems in my home, and I don't do Atmos. From what I have read Atmos speakers have their drivers angled in a different manner than conventional speakers, as they are trying to bounce sound around ceilings and walls and are assumed... |
