| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC I am interested in upgrading the power supply in a node 2. Any recommendations which one where to go etc? Should I do that or get a node 3 and upgrade the power supply in that? Is it even worth it? | |
| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC IMO you don’t need to spend anywhere near 2-3k on a dac to see a massive improvement from the node dac. I’ve had RME Adi-2, akm dac inside Micromega m100, and now running a Burson Composer 3xp. All sound noticeably better than the node alone. I wo... | |
| Upgrade path from Paradigm Studio Reference V3 “Sorry guys. They are studio 100 V3. I have been interested in the Tektons for a while, specifically Double Impact. Would love to hear about comparisons between my Paradigms and Tekton.” I had Paradigm Studio 100 v2 and signature S4 v2 and v1.... | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? Dynamics, tonality, and flat response. Not a stickler for dead flat but some speakers with large deviations from flat may sound amazing on some kinds of music but won’t be a good all-arounder IME. im a robot | |
| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC @verdantaudio , how do you turn off the clock on the Node2? I don’t recall seeing a setting like that? thanks | |
| Google Nest WiFi I must have the older one as it has and Ethernet out. I definitely get less dropouts connecting the Bluesound Node via Ethernet to the google. Sound quality I’m not sure. | |
| Upgrade path from Paradigm Studio Reference V3 What is the budget? If you like The Paradigm sound check out Focal. Somewhat similar to my ear but better highs and mids. Tektons are really good at Rock as well IMO. | |
| A decent integrated amp under 2K ... Is it hard to buy in the US and ship to Canada? Expensive? I would have thought otherwise. I dunno though. | |
| .? Digital Reclocking and syncing clocks does anyone know the correct Answrrsb I use a cheapo IFI ipurifier. It helps with signal coming from the node. This is a small difference and I would not be able to blind test it probably. The optical cable from the fire tv however definite improvement. | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? I’m wondering if the new node is better sounding as a streamer only than the older node 2. Node has freaked out a few times in the last week and was making kinda fluttering noises through the speakers. Need to unplug and back in and goes away. | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? I am in a transition of my system and was stuck with just the Dac inside the Node 2 for a few weeks. It sounded pretty descent. Locally just bought a Burson Composer 3xp. No contest. Could I pass a blind test? Yes I believe I easily could. Could t... | |
| What are in these Bose speakers anyways I have a Bose system in my Escalade. It sounds really good for a stock system. At least it drowns out the sound of the Caddy guzzling down premium fuel like drunken sailor! Lol. Buddy of mine has one of the complete cube systems for movies. Do... | |
| Tube Vs. SS Preamps For the moment I’m back on full tube. Tube preamp for me adds a lot of body ss is lacking although I’ve never had what you might call a “high end “ preamp. Ive dabbled with tube pre and ss amp along with ss pre amd tube amp. I found most of th... | |
| Highest value pre under 1.5k used? Says used in the title. something from Rogue or Jolida if want to go tube. ss not sure. | |
| Salk owners -- any interest in a more sensitive Salk model? Ahh just looked. Exotica 3 is 92db so I guess what you are asking already exists?? Unless 93 is your cutoff for high efficiency. Not fleawatt territory but should be ok with 30 watts or so. |
