| Oppo Vs Esoteric what is your budget, Jonas? | |
| Oppo 203 setup/tweaks I assume that the OP is not using an external DAC? | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric OP....I have an Opp 105 which I use as a transport into 2 DACs, the Mytek Manhatten and the Bryston BDA 3. Both DACs clearly smoke the native Oppo DAC. I have never heard Esoteric but when I listen to high Res Downloads or SACD with Oppo/Bryston... | |
| Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player? To the OP question, Yes it would be crazy to buy a 17 year old cdp.chances are the laser or transport won't last and be difficult to replace as many have noted. More importantly the DAC probably won't be as good as many that are obtainable on you... | |
| 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... |
