| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? You have already tried many things and gotten a lot of good advice so I will offer a few short items.First, did David Berning offer you another pre amp? For starters, it would be interesting to see if the problem continues with an identical model... | |
| Receiver It depends on what one wants a Surround Sound system to do. Many people use a two channel system for music and use their HT systems primarily for Video.Then if their tastes in Video run to action movies with lots of explosions, etc. they will hav... | |
| Looking for suggestions for a network capable DAC/Streamer I’m confused. Does the OP wish to stream here, or spin hard discs as well?I used to have a nice system in my work office, but the reality is that during business hours the volume has to be low, and if I was there after hours, the louder the music... | |
| Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i I did a Roon trial with my PC, but not from my Node or BDP3. I have seen many comments that Roon causes a notable degradation in SQ, particularly from HiFi reviewers in the U.K. Manic Moose is hopeless, IMO. I think that Bryston has exactly 1 e... | |
| Receiver Another way to go would be to get separate pre amp processor and multi channel amps. I use a Parasound 5 channel amp in one system and the Anthem MRX 520 is basically a preamp. In my other HT system the Anthem 520 drives all speakers. Miller’s ... | |

| Minidsp shd I’m using it. I love the Dirac on all my digital sources. I don’t use the streamer much as I have a Bryston BDP3 in the same system but it seems pretty good | |
| Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i So you bought the BDP2? I think you will hear a significant upgrade over the Node2i. | |
| Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i I have the Bluesound Node2i, then went to the Bryston BDP3. In truth, I never have heard the BDP1. The BDP3 is a significant sonic advance over Bluesound. Beware, however, of Manic Moose, which pretty much everyone hates. The BlueOS makes for ... | |
| external DAC with SACD The Marantz presumably will only output the DSD from SACD and therefore the DAC can’t read it. My DAC is a Bryston DAC 3 which can accept the DSD over HDMI and my Oppo 105 is set up to output the DSD over HDMI. If I want the CD layer to go to th... | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? Djones +1as for the poster that said he never got the same emotional response from digital as he got from analog, I concur. I don’t know how many times I had the urge while listening to an lp to kick my turntable in frustration after hearing a f... | |
| Esoteric K-03 or Luxman D-03x I am surprised that after having one problem with Esoteric you are willing to go down that road again. I play a lot of CDs and SACDs but I think that the transport plus DAC route is the way to go. CD transports can develop issues as they age, bu... | |
| Network player control apps Are there You Tube videos for both apps? | |
| Installing new wires in room with hardwood floors It's one reason that people prefer wireless, but as you pointed out, that leads to performance compromises. My one small hole in the hardwood floor, out of site, works for me, but the individual characteristics of every home are different. I ha... | |
