| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! @echolane Last week I tried to find Sviatislav Richter RCA recording of Bach Well Tempered Clavier Books I and II on my streamer. My software is mconnect and Cambridge Audio Stream Magic. I know that I had ripped it to the NAS. I have som... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! I find that engaging in the ‘Which is better? Streaming vs CDP? ‘has gotten rather pointless. Both technologies are mature. They are both capable of excellent sound. It comes down to features. Does the convenience of streaming outweigh some of its... | |
| Are all streamers the same? I have a room correction device from shm . In addition to the basic Dirac RC I bought a unit that for an extra $109 threw in a streamer. I’ve since compared it to the Node, Bryston BDP-3, Melco N 100, and Cambridge CXN 60. The Dirac is fine but t... | |
| Is there a way to stream You-Tube music into a digital amp? Doesn’t YT have a commercial streaming service? | |
| Solo streamer I haven’t heard the OP DAC but had some time with an earlier Benchmark DAC that I thought was fantastically detailed but bright, especially with my B&W 803D speakers. Perhaps the upgraded streamer is bringing some of that out. It might be ... | |

| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference @rwwear there was a long thread devoted to the dCS tactics here very rebut I couldn’t find it just now. Perhaps dCS threatened Agon and got it removed | |
| CD Player Suggestions under $ 500 Sony had some universal players in the $400 range but the weak point was the DAC. If you have an external DAC you like then it would add SACD and Blu Ray to the party | |
| Solo streamer I have that Bruckner 9 SACD and there are no issues with it in my systems. Not my favorite performance but it sounds great | |
| Suggestions on improvement For $1000 or less I would suggest Room Correction technology. Basically these are computers in little boxes that look like audio components. All the digital components-in your case that might just be the CD player-connect. They come with a litt... | |
| Solo streamer My guess, not my guy—I am unable to edit this | |
| Solo streamer My guy is Qobuz is using some compression on a SACD known for its exceptional dynamic range, and that your streamer is revealing enough to show how bad that is. It would be interesting if you could burn the CD layer to a usb flash drive (assuming... | |
| Another Streamer Recommendation Question It’s probably the BDP-2. I had a horrible experience with the BDP3. I went from it to both a Melco N100 and Cambridge Audio CXN 60 and am very happy with both | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference @mdalton I like HiFi News, but the typical issue contains pages of glossy dCS advertisements. They also tend to give extra love to UK audio companies |
