| How Is MQA Fareing? @bkmaxeyVery interesting. Thank you posting that. You'll never see that point of view in Stereophile or The Absolute Sound. | |
| Can anyone please recommend warm sounding transport/DAC to replace tubed cdp ? I have the Silverlines in my HT system. .love them | |
| How Is MQA Fareing? 2L recordings sound impressive enough through non MQA equipment. For me the question would be how does regular, non Audiophile recordings fare? | |
| Bluesound Node 2 I compared the Oppo 105--and perhaps you are not interested in that-to the Bluesound Vault 2, which I believe has the same DAC chip as the Node 2. The Oppo is better but it was subtle. Presumably the 205 would widen that gap a bit.it should be n... | |
| Dragonfly Red in desktop system - replace with Schiit Bifrost Multibit? I agree, I suspect it's the speakers. However, the best way to find out is to see if you can borrow a different set of speakers or a DAC and see for yourself | |
| NEW DAC PS Audio Direct Stream DAC or Keep What I Have I'd be interested in your conclusion as to whether the PSAudio bests the Wyred 4 Sound | |
| Suggestions on Better Server Setup than Mac Mini It's amusing to read posts here from people who are suggesting tweaks to the OP to improve the sound, when the OP has made it clear that sound isn't the issue, but reliability. The OP is fed up with trying to make a computer work as a music playe... | |
| Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater? Just searched that power amp. Someone is listing one for over $5000.00Again, selling that off would fund a really great sounding 5.1 system, even without buying used equipment, and it would probably sound several times better than your current s... | |
| Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater? Well g nakamato it sounds like time to experiment. 40 plus years is a long time to spend with any speaker. Even state of the art speakers are going to have deterioration issues, let alone mass market items. Are you still in a 4 channel set up? ... | |
| Bluesound vault 2 - load songs other than ripping from cd? My Vault 2 is automatically pulling my my iTunes collection stored on the same network | |
| Going from computer audio to dedicated streamer I also struggled with computer audio and all of it's associated issues. I won't recite the whole litany of problems that I had but I went the Bluesound whole home route 2 years ago and have been much happier. The latest update to the OS makes it... | |
| MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region" Interesting, @Brianlucey.My MQA experience was limited to a free week of Tidal, using my Bluesound. I have the Mytek Manhatten I but haven't shelled out for the MQA upgrade. I only listen to Classical. I streamed a few albums in my collection t... | |
| Glare on Choral recordings, classical vocals I listen to Classical exclusively and am familiar with the problem that the OP describes. Fwiw I have found that as I upgraded my DAC the problem resolved. I went from an Oppo 105 to the Mytek Manhatten (Oppo is the transport) and now the conges... | |
| Looking for an All in One DAC/Streamer/Server I have the Bluesound but I don't know much about the Aurender. The Bluesound has an ok DAC but sounds much better when I play it through external DACs that cost several times the price of the Vault. It sounds indistinguishable from any other digi... | |
| MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region" I haven't heard MQA so I shouldn't comment, but of course that won't stop me. I also raised my eyebrows when I read that. I've seen some on line posts that confirmed what The review stated; it sounds different but somewhat artificial. My presen... |
