| Weakest digital link: DAC - Streamer - Server? There is a chain and the system is only as strong as its weakest link. And a quality DAC differentiates itself in execution of bits to music. A quality DAC will take the best streaming, audio files and deliver great sound but just as critically ... | |
| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC Hi Op...many of us go through this transition. I decided to get a streamer/DAC - I went with Moon's 280D (which is about $3k) that is a definitive step up from the Node 2i. I do like Bluesound's interface and if Moon didn't have a good interface... | |
| McIntosh- Sweetest, Smoothest sounding Solid State ? "It may to you" I have MC 302 and am upgrading (in my opinion) to Moon M400 amps. I've upgraded my C2600 preamp to Moon 390 (again, my opinion). My McIntosh system always sounded good to me and that's the feedback I heard from others. My shift... | |
| So where do you fall in the spectrum.? Gear or Music? @ghdprentice speaks the truth. | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? Actual weight - I've not pursued speakers because the weighed over 100 lbs. | |
| Comparing Speaker Cables I don’t know. And when I did comparisons using a few songs there differences where clear. And there was song variations based on dynamic range of music and number of sounds within a bar. | |
| Roon drops signal Yes and that’s why I use the streamers software (Moon’s MiND 2). I only have one system so the meta data wasn’t worth the subscription to me. | |
| Bully pulpits Some things are worth knowing about and not acting on. Different points of view doesn’t mean any of them are correct. Does the universe revolve around the earth, is the earth flat and if you enjoy the music what really matters. | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other You have some compelling options - VPI and Linn may be appropriate to add to the list. What are you looking for in regards to sound versus your P8? And is P10 a consideration? | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment I upgraded my speakers to Sonus faber Olympica Nova V - very happy listener | |
| Recommend an Entry Level Turntable (And maybe an integrated Amp) I like NAD equipment and think it's a nice option. I don't know your budget and the All-in-one solutions such as Moon ACE, Naim Atom Uni and Cambridge Evo could also be great options that provide you a digital and analog compatibility. | |
| How to tame a bright system? I agree on evaluating your speakers. B&W has a great reputation and the diamond tweeters irritated my ears. I think you may find an eager buyer to change the outcome versus 'changing' the signal from the source to the speakers. | |
| Questions on using Roon I encourage you to contact Room - they have good customer service and if you go to their website the chat is with an actual person. | |
| Not Sure If This Is OK Here, But Here Goes OP, the situation would give me pause. And if you want there's likely a way to conduct the transaction. I would only consider doing the transaction payment in advance and the buyer pays and provides shipping labels. The buyer can insure the pro... | |
| Upgrading your system three options DAC, Cartridge or speaker cables??? My initial thought is DAC given your 80% streaming. Speaker cables may not be the first choice but given I owned Canare 4S11 and did testing of speaker cables. Here's my experiences....I tested Rocket 33, Kimber Kable 12 TC and Kimber Kable Bifo... |
