I know from painful experience, as a long time Bluesound owner, that when this happen... | |
| Bluesound Node Issues After the Firmware Upgrade I have found this to be the Achilles Heel of Bluesound. I don’t even accept the upgrades but this started automatically. My Node2 is currently dead in the water | |
| Transports I won’t be able to help. However, if I shelled out 5 figures for a transport and you asked me to compare it to a bog standard CDP, I would say the expensive one was the bees knees because my bias would run in that direction. I agree with Chayro;... | |

| My Boston Acoustics Radio stopped working I had a quality clock radio once. Totally useless as an alarm clock. The sound was so pleasing that I would stay in bed. My wife’s 30 year old digital radio that mangles our favorite FM station with static is much better at getting my butt out ... | |

| Suggestions for replacement for my old Nuforce AVP-18 surround sound processor Hey Uber As you have discovered the processor market isn’t that extensive. You might do better buying an AVR and not using the Amp section if you don’t need it. I recommend Anthem, because their room correction is truly immersive | |
| Bryston BDP-π I am assuming the Bryston uses Manic Moose software, which would be another reason to avoid it. I second the Bluesound as an intro to streaming. It isn’t perfect and there are some long term reliability issues, but as long as you use it with a d... | |
| Any advantage to Bluesound Node 2i Versus Streaming from PC Lyngdorf doesn’t support MQA. It doesn’t do the “unfold” or whatever the term is. What you are referring to is bit rate. Read up on MQA so that you understand you need both a streamer and a DAC need to support it. I tried Roon with a MacAir v... | |
| Budget Basement System Troubles! Why are you messing around with weird stuff like Bluetooth receivers and WiFi receivers? What didn’t you like about the Marantz AVR? I have two Anthem receivers in my house with ARC and I love them. I don’t care for the Marantz house sound but ... | |
| How do you know what room treatments to use? I started a room treatment thread in the Digital section recently. Suggest you look there | |
| Any advantage to Bluesound Node 2i Versus Streaming from PC Roon’s website says that a core can be a Roon Nucleus or a personal computer, but then goes on to add that it could be a “server from one of our hardware partners”. They list Lyngdorf as a hardware partner, and most servers really are Linux Comp... | |
