| Conversion to DSD: Does It Eliminate Digital Glare? One of the recordings that bothers me the most with glare is an early 80s CD transfer of and Ormandy/Philadelphia recording of Sibelius Second Symphony (early 60s recording). Yesterday I was playing the same recording from a Japanese Ormandy col... | |
| Can a apple airport express be part of a audiophile system? I tried AE but now I use Bluesound for the whole home audio thing. Bluesound wipes the floor sonically with AE--it's not even a fair fight-and while it is far from perfect, I prefer the Bluesound appto i tunes for managing the collection. I also... | |
| Blue Ray Audio? I own several Blu Ray audio discs and over 100 SACDs and some DVD-A. Principal player is the Oppo-105 I wouldn't be dogmatic. Like anything else, it depends on the engineering of the given recording. Most of my SACDs are wonderful. Some of t... | |
| Marantz I had a Marantz 803 SACD/CD but sold it off and went with the Oppo 105. The Marantz was nice but it rolls off the top end. | |

| Conversion to DSD: Does It Eliminate Digital Glare? Hey browns fan I had read your thread about the Sony before I posted my query and was intrigued. That was one reason that I referenced the Sony, because it up samples all recordings to DSD. I already own the Blue Sound so I am not interested in an... | |
| Conversion to DSD: Does It Eliminate Digital Glare? If you are still playing the original file types, and the same dac, then how do you know it's the cables? I haven't found that cables and room treatments make the slightest bit of difference for this issue. My SACDs sound great but some--not all... | |
| Servers: Are we there yet? I'll second that. I have a Bluesound Vault 2 and Node for downstairs. I happen to have my computer next to it so that I can pull in files from a previous iTunes collection via the Vault but I don't need the computer to run the Vault. In fact, I... | |
| streamer for PWD DAC mkII - tired of a computer and complicated connectivity! "SO, mahler, how do you like the bluesound?" I was holding off answering this until I got a little more experience using it. In general, I like it, but it is far from perfect. In answer to some of the questions posed since my post of mid janua... | |
| streamer for PWD DAC mkII - tired of a computer and complicated connectivity! Hey Mark I too got tired of my Mac&Dac setup and got the Bluesound 2 Vault and Node. As has been mentioned upstream, thehy require an ethernet connection. It generally works well, except there are frequent updates, and you have to rest the... |
