| Advice Needed: Bluesound Node vs Vault You might be on to something there, as the download appeared to have a problem. How do you download the manual update? I didn’t see a download update areaon the BS website but I can look again. | |
| Advice Needed: Bluesound Node vs Vault Factory reset didn’t work either. | |
| Advice Needed: Bluesound Node vs Vault Well, seems like I’m SOL. Tech support not available today, reopening tomorrow but I have to go to work and Tech Support won’t help unless you are at home. That’s not going to happen for a while | |
| Advice Needed: Bluesound Node vs Vault I used Powerline Adapters for the first couple of years but they were problematic. It turns out that when the signal crosses a breaker there is a significant drop, something like 40%, and to get from my router to my listening room required a 2 ci... | |
| SACD Warning--"Do not use liquid cleaning..." ? I admit that I never clean discs unless they won’t track. With CDs I use isopropyl alcohol and wipe with the tissue that opticians sell for Frac lenses and that has always worked. Although I own over a hundred SACDs I don’t remember having to cl... | |
| Is this the end of HEA? In reference to the OP, I think that it’s the CES show that’s the problem. The author cites the high price of hotel rooms, the competition from other shows mainly European that have siphoned off attendees... I live in Chicago and have spent a da... | |
| Music streamer with no DAC and no storage? That’s Elac | |
| Music streamer with no DAC and no storage? I also use the Node2, but the OP may want to investigate the Elam Discovery | |
| How much would I lose going to a Bluesound Node 2i The OP poses an interesting question. I won’t be able to fully answer it but perhaps he may benefit from my experience. I have the Node2 and the Vault2. The weak link in both is the DAC and for both I use external DACs. None of my DACs do MQA.... | |
| SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor @erik_squires it sounds like you will continue to use your Brooklyn for music. My advice would be to go cheap with an AVR. The most demanding requirement for AVR is music reproduction. Most AVRs in the $500 and up range do a decent job with di... | |
| Difference between ESS Sabre Burr Brown Wolfson DACs Nesto I’ve never heard the Marantz, but I own the Oppo 203. The Marantz retails for about 10 times the price of the Oppo so it should have a better DAC, but why don’t you connect the Oppo to the Marantz and let us know what you think? | |
| Streamer always on? I’ve never understood the recommendation about leaving things on all the time. It seems that cooling things off would be a good thing. I understand it more for tubed gear, because the tubed amps that I have had did take a while to warm up, but t... | |
| Bluesound Vault 2i, Cocktail Audio X40 or ?????????? I believe the I-series uses a different DAC so I am willing to believe it may sound better, but if you use an external DAC that would be a non factor. | |
| Am I missing something here? Ish fwiw I have a few friends who are very accomplished Classical Musicians who could care less about audio and are pretty content with what I would consider to be low end systems. It makes me wonder if their brains fill in the missing informatio... | |
