| 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)... | |
| Newbie - Streaming Recommendations There is a big difference etween streaming “Apple Music for background listening “ which is a compressed source that it’d seem like you will be scrutinizing for sound quality, and streaming Tidal. When you figout just what it is that you want to ... | |

| Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless I finally called the district sales manager. My dealer—now out of business—had given me his number when I first bought it and had issues 3 years ago. I forwarded my emails with Product Support, which stopped abruptly 10 days ago when they didn’t... | |
| MQA is Legit! I am not sure that I understand the original point here. Is the OP saying that MQA files tend to sound better because they have been carefully remastered, and not necessarily due to any technological improvement? If that is the case, I don’t kno... | |
| Does a cheap cd transport create poor digital copies? That argument goes both ways. I used to think that CDRs sounded better than the originals, and that CDs from aHD bested the originals, but with the improvement in DAC technology over the past few years I’ve swung the other way.

| Newbie - Streaming Recommendations Rereading your post, I see that you want to stream Apple Music to your existing system. I use a Bluetooth DAC from Audioengine when I stream from my phone. | |
| IDAGIO the best sounding streaming service Hmm, I did a free month of IDAGIO and I was distinctly unimpressed m feeling that it was much inferior to the departed Classics On Line. Also, it’s catalog is very thin | |
| Opinions on Dacs... I have the PSAUDIO Digital Link 3. I wouldn’t describe it as bright. Be aware that it’s usb input is not asynchronous (or at list mine isn’t, perhaps they updated it if they still sell it) | |

| Help me - am I stupid I concur with most of the above, except for the DSD comments. Being recorded is DSD is no guarantee of sonic excellence, but I have many DSD recordings that are true musician in the room variety, and if you are coming from a strictly analog world... | |
| New DAC not streaming hi res files Good job.Hopefully it’s a break in issue and the sound will improve. I’m not an Arcam fan; I thought their DAC sounded thin and anemic. | |
| Anthem MRX 720 Question OPif you are happy with the Yamaha switching abilities, etc the newest Yamaha receivers also have room correction, but I didn’t think they sonically matched the Anthem | |
| Anthem MRX 720 Question I just added a 520 two weeks ago, no issues either. Sonically it was a major upgrade over the 10 year old Onkyo receiver that it replaced | |
| New DAC not streaming hi res files Is the Arcam the rplay? That apparently only has coax out, very odd. It does raise the possibility that the adapter that you are using is not allowing a high res stream, which was your original guess.see if you can attach a computer as above and... |
