| Any Musicians Not on Spotify? The best way to find out would be to make a list of your favorite artists by going through the lps, then do a free Spotify trial and go through the list. | |
| Geffen, Disney and speaker placement +1 @evank After heart the NYP at AFH I thought they could save money by laying off the double bass players, since they were inaudible anyway | |
| Streaming Keep us updated on your choices | |
| BluSound Node and Node 2 @alarcono I use wired. Everything else in the house is ok. I have had this issue with Bluesound before | |
| 100% USA designed & made DAC Someone mentioned Mytek, but are they still assembled in Poland? | |
| BluSound Node and Node 2 After sort of defending the Node in earlier posts, mine is now stuck inno man’s land, with the icon spinning relentlessly. I had this problem with previous units and had to do multiple reboots, factory resets, etc, which sometimes work and someti... | |
| Streaming There is no particular reason to embrace streaming if you are happy enough with your current set up. In fact it might be a negative being on a fixed income, between the cost of new gear and the monthly cost of a streaming service. Essentiall... | |

| Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why .... I generally agree about dumping the PC, but you could try to add a program such as Audirvana that maximizes a computer to be a server by turning off non audio parts of the computer | |
| Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital? What’s your budget? One thing about Digital is that you can get great sound at a modest outlay. I dislike analog and am tempted to tell you to ditch it, but the reality is that you can probably do both | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming I suspect that all streaming services, even High Resolution ones, need to do some compression in the route from their servers to your listening room. CDs and downloads sound best in my system but Qobuz isn’t that far off | |
| Digital Improving All the Time? If you liked SACD 20 years ago, what you were enjoying was probably DSD | |
| Distortion using OPPO 103 w Streaming and CD's, but not with DVD playback I have occasionally had problems with my 105 that went away with rebooting, but sometimes it requires a few reboots. Seeing as how Oppo discontinued these products a few years ago, and now the problem seems confined to Tidal, it’s possible that p... |
