| Suggestions for a DAC/Streamer to replace BlueOS Node Streamer What’s “Apple Play”? Is it different than AirPlay? No budget was specified in the OP. We need that before spending time recommending anything. I would look at the Cambridge Audio lineup Eversolo has gotten high marks for sound and low scores... | |
| What are the best subwoofers you have heard for music. Speed, Musicality and integration I posted elsewhere but the new REL in my basement 5.1 HT system, which replaced a Paradigm sub, adds that bottom octave for music seamlessly. The Paradigm by comparison was MIA. I need to fine tune settings on the REL a bit but I am very pleased | |
| Pianos I first learned on one of those converted Player Pianos | |
| Now What? Try deleting the App from the phone and reinstalling. I assume that you tried turning off both your phone and router and then restarted both | |
| Music server recommendations needed. I use the Melco N 100 server and I purchased the their Optical Ripper, along with another Melco storage device. The optical ripper can be used to spin CDs as well if combined with the N100. The Melco doesn’t contain a DAC and I didn’t quite ge... | |
| Bluesound mode not really cutting it I really like my CA CXN 100 which is a major step up from the Node. I use the AirPlay and Chromecast features quite a bit. They have just released a new streamer with a better DAC which you probably won’t need and an HDMI ARC, which you might us... | |
| Objective Data re: Record Cleaning It seems to me that the particles that will interfere with playing may be so small that frequently their mass may be immeasurable. A vey tiny piece of dust may become wedged in a groove at just the right angle to deflect a cartridge temporarily. ... | |
| Pianos I have a Samick upright. My teacher has a Grand by the same manufacturer and when I start my lesson I’m always startled at the difference. Steinways are my favorite, the best combination of gorgeous midrange, deep but not overpowering bass, an... | |
| Pianos Fazioli is a good choice. Angela Hewitt used to travel with her own and it was famously destroyed by New York dockworkers a few years ago | |
| Objective Data re: Record Cleaning I don’t think that weighing records pre and post will tell us much. Since these particles are so small I am not sure how useful studies showing more or less sub 100 micron particles have been removed are. It might mean something but it would be ... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? So I added a REL T9x to my basement HT 2 days ago. I wound up placing it in the same location that the former Paradigm sub occupied. It’s early days but so far I am very pleased. Every thing sounds better, not just the bass. I am seriously c... | |
| SACD Players It looks like a FW connection with 8 pins. As I mentioned such a connection can sound very impressive. Both my above mentioned players sounded much better that I would have expected from AVRs and other components inputting by conventional means ... | |
| SACD Players What kind of a connection is that between the 2 McIntosh components? I used to have a Sony SACD player that had a proprietary connection to a Sony AVR and then later a Pioneer Elite DVD/SACD player with a similar link to a Pioneer AVR. These li... | |
| SACD Players Magnetar universal players are basically the successor to Oppo. I believe the company was founded by the Oppo engineers that designed their UDPs. Their menus are identical to Oppo and you can either play the SACD with the internal DAVs or use them... | |
| CD Player: Vintage or modern ones? Budget? DACs have improved quite a bit since the dawn of the CD era. This would include the the DACs contained in CDPs. it’s unclear to me if the OP streams currently. If he does not and is interested in doing so then a streaming DAC with a CD... |
