| Do different streamers really sound different when using an external DAC @jjss49 Silly me! Yes, total reading comprehension fail on my part. I only got it exactly backwards. LOL"Never mind." - Emily LatellaHappy listening. | |
| Do different streamers really sound different when using an external DAC In answer to your question "Do different streamers really sound different when using an external DAC?", in my meager experience the answer is 'yes'.I went from using the Node2i internal DAC to an external Jolida DAC and now a Border Patrol SE-i DA... | |
| Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had? Fun thread for a change. I would say ’yes’. Some things I don’t see worth changing for now. Then again, I’ve made a lot of changes the past couple of years and, so far, I haven’t made any missteps. *knock wood*Acoustat 1+1sRHLabs sub+ARC VS110+ARC... | |
| For those that use an external DAC with node 2i My first exposure to steaming was a simple BT receiver which went to my pre and I just streamed Pandora and iTunes from my phone. Not the best sound of course but I was hooked by the convenience. So I upgraded to a Node2i and really enjoyed the up... | |
| Sonus Faber speaker boxes worth $1200 ? Seems a bit... dear. As others have suggested: Check with an SF dealer. FWIW I still have the boxes for all my gear including my Acoustat 1+1's. IMHO, nothing will protect your investment like original packing. Which reminds me I need to get boxes... | |
| Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so Two words: Speakers first!More words... Everything thing else will hinge on that. Amp, sources, etc. IMHO you cannot make a wise decision on an amplifier, integrate or otherwise until you know what speakers you will be using. Enjoy the hunt.Happy ... | |
| Building new system starting with power amp. What would you choose ? IMHO speakers have the most influence in the overall sound and character of a system. If you’re already set on your source (RTR) then speakers logically would be the next step. Pick your "sound" and THEN get the requisite electronics. Bookshelf or... | |
| Craigslist Fraud To the OP: Well done for not falling for that! | |
| Can anybody be a speaker designer? I will not click. I will not click. I will not.... Dammit! | |

| How old are you? Mid-60's here. Started with my brother's hand me down system of AR speakers a Dynaco SCA 35 and Dual TT. Moved on to Kenwood and Large Advents and on from there... Lots of pop's hand me downs. I still have his Nak 700, CA Audio Labs CD and his old... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? rushfan71 , I can relate! I owned a Ducati for 22-23 years. When i wasn’t riding it or fettling with it, I would sit in the garage with a beverage and a calm mind and just marvel at the art that is an Italian motorcycle... Yes, I had other bikes,... | |
| How I'd spend money given no limits If money were no object? I'd have Diana Krall and her ensemble come perform for me on the weekends. :) | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? If I may? I too originally had bad experiences with the Node2i. Bad connectivity to the internet, the decommissioned Apple i6 I use couldn’t find it, etc. I was thinking it would be "plug and play" however it is not. Like any other component, it t... | |
| Tube rolling: ARC VS110 I'll do that. Can't hurt to ask right? Thanks! |
