| Bryston Service A-1 @jbuhl would you be using Manic Moose or does Roon totally bypass that for you? | |
| Bryston Service A-1 I had the BDP-3. It needed so much support that I added Chris Rice, who apparently was the only Bryston employee who knew anything about streaming, to my Christmas card list. He was responsive to the numerous requests to fix the snafus but occas... | |
| For SACD fans only I listen to SACD with my Oppo 105 outputting the DSD layer over HDMI into the HDMI input of my Bryston DAC. The Oppo program menu makes you decide which layer of the disc that you wish to output. Magnets Universal Players are made by the same ... | |
| Classical Vinyl - Telefunken label - can anyone educate me here? I’ve got some good CDs that were issued by Teldec but they just weren’t as much fun as buying the LPs with the German notes, etc | |
| Is Apple Music lossless/uncompressed? @lalitk I actually missed that last sentence in the OP. That is an interesting way to do it and he might get a decent result. AirPort Express I think used to top out at CD quality. AirPlay isn’t that bad, pretty close to a standard redboo... | |
| NAD Near Future HT Products? I can’t help you with any insight into NAD schedule. Playing Devils Advocate do you expect a major breakthrough in amplification technology from any company making AVRs or Processors? The major development switching to Class D a decade or so ago ... | |
| Classical Vinyl - Telefunken label - can anyone educate me here? Telefunken was one of those exotic sounding (to my ears) labels when I started buying records in the mid seventies. German only notes, artists that were generally unknown in the states, high import prices. Later I learned that their history stre... | |
| Is Apple Music lossless/uncompressed? I listen to Classical so it’s hard for me to comment on the depth of catalog but I believe that they carry as many tracks as any of the other top claimed services. They are indeed lossless but it depends on the playback device. With the possib... | |
| 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 ... | |
| Are all streamers the same? OP No | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? If you have a poor source on one end sending a signal to poor amplification and then out to ill sounding speakers, I’m not sure how having nifty interconnects and power cords makes any of it sound good |
