| The demise of the music CD inevitable? Disc rot is nonsense. My earliest CDs from the mid 80s all play just fine. Vinyl rot--that's a different story. | |
| Looking for SACD player............ Marantz players tend to roll off the top end.Denon is coming out with a new SACD player. I'd wait for that | |
| Bryston BDA-3 Thanks neko that was interesting. There seems to be an issue with a loud 'pop' at the end of tracks played in DSD. | |
| FLAC On A Mac sbankI took the Oppo data from their web site, which mentioned playing WAV and didn't mention playing AIFF. In my experience when a component doesn't mention compatibility with a format that means it won't play that format. I am glad to be corre... | |
| Bryston BDA-3 Thanks, Bill K. Unfortunately neither reviewer comments on the HDMI input | |
| FLAC On A Mac XLD works today without me having to do the above.In the interim, I added a monitor to the system. I have an Oppo 105 in the system but it was for audio only. With the monitor added I can now play flac files from it's usb inputs, so now I don't ... | |
| Marantz SA 8005 break in Agree with the above. If anything, Marantz players tend to roll off the top end. If the harshness persists after the break in time I would send it for servicing | |
| 'outboard' high end dac's Meadowmani've been interested in the BDA 3 for it's HDMI input, specifically for SACD and Blu Ray. Do you have any experience with the HDMI input | |
| Bluesound Node 2 Yes, I meant the interface . Another poster here described the Classical Interface on Tidal as appearing to have been designed by a Chimpanzee ; that is probably an insult to chimpanzees. Fwiw I didn't think the sonics on Tidal were anything spec... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 @mofimadness Looking back I see that your question was about Tidal on Blusound. My answer pertained more to Blusound itself. I did try the free trial of Tidal and for me, it was simply awful, but I listen to Classical, and Tidal doesn't seem to c... | |
| Digital media server/players for a Skeptic? Wolf The Bluesound has a dac included in each one if it's units so you don't need an external dac. It is pretty good but since the Bluesound also has digital outs I prefer to use the far superior dac in the Mytek Manhatten. However...Bluesound ... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 OP--it sounds like you just need a better dac. The DAC in the Node is good, better than the dacs in the receiver that mine is hooked up with, but the Node 2 costs around $500, and that doesn't leave much in the budget for a high quality dac.From ... | |
| FLAC On A Mac Spencer I probably wasn't clear before, but I did that, the XLD icon appeared, but when I dragged a flac file into the icon, the file bounces out and returns to it's own folder. I didn't have that issue with XLD when I used it two years ago. | |
| The demise of the music CD inevitable? Had my 27 year old Nephew over and owns 0 CDs. Streaming or a few iTunes downloads is all he listens. My kids are a few years older than him, used to buy CDs, but now You Tube seems to satisfy them. I do think CDs will ultimately become a niche... | |
| FLAC On A Mac Ok, both changing the preferences and and pressing the control key worked. The problem now is that neither program shows up in my application file. I downloaded XLD again, since it's free, but it isn't as it formerly did. Now when I drag a FLAC... |
