| Any advantage to Bluesound Node 2i Versus Streaming from PC Lyngdorf is listed as a Roon partner. The streamer should be able to be a Roon core and bypass the PC. I don’t know enough about Roon to know if bypassing the PC is good or bad, perhaps you can experiment yourself. If you DAC doesn’t do MQA the... | |
| Any advantage to Bluesound Node 2i Versus Streaming from PC I don't think you dumped $500 for nothing. The Node is easier to use than PC, and most streamers give a more satisfactory experience than using just a PC. Many people feel this way, thus the market for streamers, otherwise everyone would be usin... | |
| Digital Library - or Not? Needed? Streaming can be great when it works well, frustrating when it doesn't. I am starting to sound like a broken record (remember those?) but remember that streamers are computers, masquerading as audio products, and if you have ever had IT issues el... | |
| Any advantage to Bluesound Node 2i Versus Streaming from PC maybe I've missed it but do you need a streamer? According to the spec on your amp it has a "media player" which sounds like a built in streamer. At any rate there isn't going to be any significant sonic difference between a Bluesound Node and ... | |
| DAC - Streamer or all in one unit I will be on vacation for a few days here, not sure about my internet access, so I will spend your 10 grand here. First, my experience with Melco is limited to the past few weeks, but I am very impressed. I also didn’t expect it to be recognized... | |
| DAC - Streamer or all in one unit Ten grand is a healthy budget. I am assuming that you don’t own a DAC currently. That to me is the most important part of getting the digital replay correct.I am also assuming that you currently must be listen to CDs, or perhaps downloads, but d... | |
| A case for Hi Rez Digital I still remember my first reaction to hearing a CD . It was Colin Davis and the Boston Symphony in Orchestral Music of Debussy, recorded 1982. The dynamic range and headroom seemed limitless . The music emerged from an utterly silent background... | |
| music from a thumb drive Bluesound Node2 should play your thumb drive. So should your 6 year old laptopin your OP, your “ digital“ player is Audioengine. That means you are probably using Bluetooth. Bluetooth is lossy, hardly the best in digital replay. I have noticed... | |
| Can Room Correction Be Added to an Existing DAC? My dealer is experienced with Anthem and set up the 2 AVRs in my house. I’ll query him about Dirac vs the Paradigm . I am also wondering that I should go this route, should I add a sub to the two channel system, because the biggest improvements ... | |
| A case for Hi Rez Digital I got back in to Vinyl around 2000. At the time many shops began springing up that sold used lps. I had spent years lost browsing shelves in record stores in the pre digital days and browsing CDs was not an equivalent experience, especially beca... | |
| What do I need to play ripped CD's? I couldn’t get the Arcam rPlay to recognize my NAS or play Qobuz. Emails to both Arcam and PlayFi went unanswered. Fortunately Music Direct gave me a full refund. | |
| Can you connect a dac to a wireless speaker? So you want to bypass the internal DAC in the speakers? If the speakers have analog inputs, then yes, you should be able to do this. In your budget I would look at the Mytek Liberty as a DAC. As to whether or not your WiFi is good enough to re... | |
| What do I need to play ripped CD's? So to understand, the Wadia is a DAC/CD? If so, and if the Apple that you are using has a toslink digital output, then all you need to do is rip the CDs and yes, you are good to go. I am not sure what software program you wish to use to control ... | |
| Can Room Correction Be Added to an Existing DAC? djones51 I was just returning to this thread to ask that question—do they make the Dirac minus the streamer, since I have one already—and was delighted to see your comment. I have always found your posts helpful because I think we tend to agree o... | |
| Can Room Correction Be Added to an Existing DAC? I really like the Anthem RC, but to get it in two channel I would have to buy the preamp processor DAC unit for 4K, and that would sideline my Bryson DAC and my Cary Pre Amp. Glad to know the processing can be done in the pre DAC stage and the pr... |
