| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC Bluesound Bluesound DAC are ok but nothing special. I’ve used an Oppo 105, Bryston DAC3, and Mytek Manhatten. Pretty much any DAC will improve it | |
| Micro SD Cards @almarg Thanks for that post, al.Regrettably, my SD card experience has gone from bad to worst. The new card wouldn’t be read by the player as being correctly inserted. In trying to remove it, the card has become so completely wedged in the tiny... | |
| Using Macbook Air as audio source I use an Air. Consider investing in a software program that will sound better than iTunes. I use dbpoweramp for ripping, and Audirvana Plus for playback. Otherwise you are good to go | |
| DAC Help What’s your budget? | |
| Micro SD Cards I’d rather transfer music on the Mac, where it’s easier to verify that the files are indeed on the card, or rearrange the order if I wish. I’m just afraid that I’ll somehow ruin another card. The Sony instructions say that the card has to be for... | |
| Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo The the old vinyl is better than digital refrain. Ugh. When I listen to digital the music leaps out my speakers. When I listen to an lp if sounds as if it is embedded in petroleum. | |
| In need of stabilizer/puck for a Sony SCD-777ES Ask Art Dudley. He thinks that digital developments ended with that player.Have you tried eBay, or contacting Sony? | |

| Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo UberI use a Pioneer Elite CD/DVD-A/SACD Player, vintage 2004, in my surround system, paired with a Pioneer Elite receiver that uses an “I link” to pair the two. It’s a remarkably good system for “mid-Fi” gear. | |
| Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo @stereo5 one reason to have more expensive spinner is feature set. I used my Oppo 105 as my everything, including DAC, but eventually upgraded the DAC. The Oppo was mainly a transport then but still came into use for SACD, DVD-A, usb drives and ... | |
| Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo There was much more choice as recently as two years ago. The precipitous decline in CD sales is one reason that manufacturers stopped making them. The other is that Oppo really dominated that market niche, and their decision to pull out left a v... | |
| News: Qobuz Hi-Res platform's debut is scheduled for this October. See Qobuz Links below Any any updates? | |
| Aurender N100H vs N10 Considering the huge price difference I would think that it would behoove you to listen to the N10 in your own system. Even if you have to pay a restocking fee if you decide it ain’t worth it, IMO, there is no other way to be sure | |
| Art Dudley compares CD Players He uses a 17 year old CDP because he doesn’t give a crap about digital. He decided years ago that it all sounds bad.He is therefore surprised that digital can sound good. He doesn’t seem to realize that between a 17 year old player that now goes ... |
