Need DAC/Streaming Advice
Puppy Thats a little discouraging, as I have ordered a BDP 3 to pair with my DAC3.  I have had Bluesound for the past 3 years but I am finally throwing in the towel after not being able to use it for a quarter of that time.  When it works, it’s a ...

OPregarding your Bryston, which did you use to control it??  Manic Moose, or something else? 
"High End" Mini 5.1 / 7.2 Receiver?
I once got one of those Marantz "thin line' AVRs to use for the waiting room of my business.  It sounded awful 
Need DAC/Streaming Advice
Have you considered upgrading the Bryston BDP-2 to a BDP-3?  It is supposed to be much faster.  I think it runs about $1500 for the upgrade.  Your question about Bluesound being a Sonos that can stream High Rez is spot on.  I currently find it dif... 
Trouble with 20-bit HDCD
Perhaps you already have the Paul O’Dette Kapsberger disc.  If not, highly recommended! 
Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS?
The answer is you need to add something to the NAS/DAC como.  You have to be able to see what’s on the NAS and to be able to direct the NAS to serve up tracks.  It could be a computer or a renderer 
Qobuz.
Don’t take it personally.  We still like you! 
Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS?
+ 1at the bare minimum, you need a DAC.  Some how those 1s and 0s from the NAS have to be converted to sound.  I don’t know if the equipment you cited has a DAC.  Then you need to be able to tell the NAS what to play.  A PC is a great way to start... 
Trouble with 20-bit HDCD
Did you know that Kaspberger’s first name is really Johannes ?  He was a German working in Italy (his patrons referred to him as In Tesoro de Tedesco) and probably Italianicized his name at one point.  Regarding the HDCD issue, I have several HDCD... 
Qobuz.
Supposedly I was accepted, but app didn’t work, kept sending me back to the application page.  I’m having a bad IT month.  I’ll wait until it’s really launched to try again.  Right now just enjoying being able to listen to Bluesound after it was M... 
What am I missing streaming music with a Node 2i
In my experience pretty much and DAC will enhance the Node.  What your budget? 
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
SpatialDid you do the update from usb drives, Ethernet, or WiFi?That’s really discouraging. 
Why do I need Roon?
Nobody “needs” Roon.  It’s a bell and whistle that you may or may not find really fun.  I listen to Classical Music and I didn’t find that it did much to enhance my enjoyment, but many people like the type of links that it provides between musicia... 
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
everything seems to be working.  Keeping the fingers crossed.the tech said they have had a big increase in sales around the holiday and thus they are swamped...makes me wonder if the 2i is having some bugs... 
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
Just finished a 90 minute service call.  Everything for now.  Several interesting findings.1) Players wouldn’t do factory resets because the latest update was “stuck” within them.  All 3 players had to be force fed the firmware by the tech (Aitei)...
