| Ideas for a compact kitchen receiver? I just use a decent Bluetooth receiver in the kitchen. Takes up little space and once the food is cooking there is to much competing noise for a serious listen. Occasionally I use wired headphones and a portable player when I really want and gre... | |
| Streamer apps critical Absolutely. The app frequently defines the experience. I used to have a Bryston BDP-3 but ditched it due to the terrible software web based program it relied upon | |
| Help for me, money for you. I’m sorry that the OP is having trouble and feel his pain. Everytime someone posts asking about recommendations for a new CD player they are inundated with posts implying that they are crazy that they haven’t exclusively gone to streaming. This ... | |
| Bogus Ratings for MOFI SACD's This happens with everything. We had some issues with a place that we stayed at via Bookings.com, and my wife (a very temperate individual) wrote a review that mentioned 5 good things and the one negative issue. They published the review and del... | |
| DAC vs CD Player for cd playback with computer audio - Help old timer out I tried Googling the AR DAC and CDP but didn’t get the info I sought. If the CDP is from 2092 my guess is that it will not have a digital input to access its DAC. If it has a USB digital input only it might not be an asynchronous USB. A DAC f... | |
| Bluesound Node Icon I have no experience with the new Bluesound product and therefore cannot directly answer the OP. Doesn’t NAD make more expensive streamers than the Node, and still use the Bluesound OS? If so I would perhaps investigate that if I were the OP | |
| ??? All In One CD Ripper - SACD Rip/Playback - Streamer ??? Melco N 100. It will store (2TB) ripped files, play them back, and plays Tidal and Qobuz.. It doesn’t have a DAC but the original post doesn’t indicate that you need one. Mine was around $2K several years ago. It doesn’t have an included rip... | |
| How Many Times Do You Have To Listen To Understand A Piece Of Music? There are many composers that people I respect tell me that I ‘have” to get. Schoenberg and his school are the most frequently cited. So after years of trying I finally understand the music, but I still don’t much care for it | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? @loomisjohnson very well said | |

| Fiber is Coming to my neighborhood @akg_ca You are laying the blame for dropouts on budget streamers, but the OP doesn’t currently own a streamer. In fact he is asking for recommendations on streamers. Therefore his current internet dropouts are either due to his computer or... | |
| Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting? My mother in law died last summer aged 92. Last XMass her children got together and purchased for her an LG TV because her current one had died, and she spent a considerable amount of time in her dotage watching programs like The Crown. Several of... | |
| Streamers and software @daledeee1 You say that you are looking for a streamer. Being pedantic, you already have a streamer, the Node. What you are looking for is a seamless use of the software package for Qobuz. I had Qobuz and the Node several years ago. They wor... | |
| ??? New Streaming Service??? What Do I Get??? Just out of curiosity how much do you save monthly with the veterans discount? | |
| It Was Twenty Years Ago Today! I rely on memory, which is increasingly unreliable. I find that I now bore people with long rambling and increasingly inaccurate histories of my early concert going experiences. At least back in the day I would have bored them with accurate reca... |
