| A blessing? Or a curse? Do you think it’s possible that your response to the first playback experience was altered by the emotions you were having that night? Clearly you wanted to impress your friends, whose opinion you value. Apparently you accomplished this, presuma... | |
| Streamers sans DAC? I second the MiniDSP. The Bryston BDP3 also lacks a DAC | |
| Melco. SongKong Thanks for the reply. The “I’m still challenged by the file management “ comment is telling. I have since making this post used some 3rd party apps that while not perfect are at least a leg up on Melco and a football field better than Bryston’s ... | |
| How do you know if you are upgrading your DAC? I went from an Oppo 105 to a Mytek Manhattan I a few years ago. Same DAC chip but no comparison-the Mytek blew the Oppo away. Suspect you can find many dedicated DACs with the same chip as the 205 that will similarly outshine the 205. I eventua... | |
| Best player for Spotify OPDo you have DAC? And do you wish to continue to stream from your phone? | |
| Looking for a basic streamer without a DAC, preamp, storage and all that Don’t Aurender and Auralic make streamers like this? | |
| Bluesound Node 2i with EMM LABS OPstreaming can drive you crazy with the IT issues. Nothing beats popping in a CD and hitting play for convenience. Once you get past the IT hurdles then it will be easier than vinyl... I have Qobuz and Bluesound. I remember having the problem... | |

| Help with NAD M51 USB issues I assume that you are using a Windows Computer? If so have you added the relevant drivers? | |
| Amazon Music - how does it compare??? OPTidal, Qobuz, and afaik every streaming service offers a free trial | |
| Bluesound Node 2i with EMM LABS If the EMM Labs DAC wasn't programed accept MQA, and since you state its an older piece my guess is probably not, then I think you are stuck as far as MQA is concerned. | |
| Why is black so popular for components? If everything is the same color, it’s harder for my wife to figure out when I’ve added a new piece. | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC Vinyl sounding? Take the DAC of the month, record yourself eating Rice Krispies, fry an egg in the background, and you are done.if you love the sound of vinyl so much, why are you wasting your time here? Why not, you know, just sit and listen to... | |
| As Good as a Mohican... But Used. Are you willing to go the DAC transport route? If not, I have the Bryston DAC3. Same chip as the Bryston CDP. The DAC is fantastic, I imagine the CD player would be as well. Otherwise get the DAC3 for about 3K and pair with any transport. | |
| Spend my money I am not sure that I would dismiss a subwoofer. The OP says he has to much bass, but it could be that he has rear ported speakers that are to close to walls. If he uses a front firing sub to handle low frequencies it might eliminate the boom eff... |
