| Oppo Sonica Wi-Fi Speaker I’m guessing that the Sonics was released prior to Qobuz entry into the U.S. market. Given the demise of Oppo, I doubt they would add Qobuz support at this point | |
| Great Qobuz streamer. Upgrade from Bluesound Node 2 I use a Bryston BCD3, just a bit outside your price range. They just added Qobuz The software program for the Bryston, Manic Moose, is a mess. It doesn’t navigate Qobuz, or anything else for that matter, very well. I also have to say that when ... | |
| Sony UPB-X1000ES as a two channel stereo SACD player I am currently listening to the Pioneer BDP-LX50, which arrived 2 days ago. First impressions are very positive. | |
| Benchmark DAC3 or Bryston BDA2 or 3 I would agree that the Bryston has a tube like smoothness. A few months ago there was a review in TAS about Bryston CD player, which has the same AKM chip as the DAC3, and the reviewers comments about the CDP were a very good description of the ... | |
| Benchmark DAC3 or Bryston BDA2 or 3 BDA (1,2, or 3) designation refers to Bryston streamers, which do not have DACs included (although I think they have released a combination DAC/Streamer, so I could be mistaken). I have the DAC3, which is just a DAC, and the BDP3, which is just a... | |
| rookie questions about used Bryston BDPs I have the BDP3. Sounds great, but the Manic Moose software is really subpar. It is excruciatingly bad for Classical Music. If you are new to streaming, I would start with the Bluesound Node2 or Node2i. It’s cheaper, sounds very good, and the ... | |
| Marantz Receiver Bad HDMI @kamdojacaden Reading your post about the first Marantz streamer gave me deja vu. See my post from 10/13 | |
| Streaming + DAC questions. Please help this noob! OP You are a Bryston guy. I have the Bryston DAC3, which is wonderful. I also have the Bryston BDP3 streamer, which sounds great but the software control program is third rate. I second the Bluesound Node2 or 2i recommendations as your into int... | |
| Upgrading my blusound streamer I love my the sound of my Bryston BDP3. The app sucks, though | |
| Dead Bluesound Node 2 I agree with the above poster that the streaming industry isn’t mature yet. Yes, it’s been around for 20 years, give or take, but it isn’t plug and play. I listen to Classical Music and I haven’t encountered a classification system yet that make... | |
| Dead Bluesound Node 2 HeyCorelli and OP I started with Spotify at about $10/ month, now paying about $15 for Qobuz. | |
| Dead Bluesound Node 2 Corelli I agree with you, I prefer silver discs to streaming for a multitude of reasons, one of which is ease of use. Yes, CDPs can break, but I have had very few of them develop an issue, and when they did it was after years of heavy use. Stre... | |
| Are the really pricey HT Pre Amps worth it? Has anyone mentioned Room Correction? I added an Anthem 5 channel AVR a year ago and remain very impressed by their Room Correction technology. They make high end AV Processors, as well. | |
| Dead Bluesound Node 2 I am surprised that the Bluesound support didn’t mention factory reset, and Big Greg has shown the OP how to do this. If the OP were to investigate posts from about 2 years ago he would see that I and others had problems with the units where they... | |
| Dead Bluesound Node 2 Welcome aboard.I had a Pulse Mini die on me just past the warranty date a couple of years ago. It died trying to do an update. It cost about the same as the Node. Bluesound said I was SOL but my dealer, whom I had been buying gear from for deca... |
