| best streamer for Amazon Music HD I'm also an AmazonUHD fan. It coincides well with typical Amazon account, add-on to Prime membership. Cancelled Tidal when AmazonUHD launched.Have both Denon AVRX6400H (HT system) and NAD C388 w/BluOS2i (2ch system). Both AmazonUHD capable, NAD is... | |
| Is there any streamer/integrated competitor to NAD C-388 w/BluOS2i MDC? djones51 Thanks! M33 has a much nicer display/touchscreen than M32 and C388.Looks like they removed the digital output of M32 - bummer, because with that you can use the M32 as a streamer/preamp, and run it through a separate DAC to external am... | |
| Is there any streamer/integrated competitor to NAD C-388 w/BluOS2i MDC? NAD M32 may be a contender. Upgrade from the C388 in the amp section. Where C388 has Hypex UcD, M32 has Ncore? (upgrade from Ucd in the Hypex line) - lower THD and higher dampening, better front panel display and remote than C388. What I find abou... | |

| Is there any streamer/integrated competitor to NAD C-388 w/BluOS2i MDC? After being told the "cheap" DAC (Burr Brown PCM1975 24bit/192kHz chipset) in NAD C388 wBluOS2i MDC might make music sound "flat", I’m on the hunt to upgrade the NAD C388 (something with better DAC chipset/implementation?).Posting here for advice,... | |
| New digital source recommendation Thanks guys! Intended to ask how I could add streaming video to my NAD integrated so I could watch concerts and YouTube acoustic videos (Like a Version, and other 'studio' takes). Then this discussion turned toward Sony players, and I remembered m... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? +1 for Bluesound Node2i.I have the NAD C388 (integrated Ncore-based amp) with BluOS2i integrated module (occupies one of the MDC slots). Heard NAD is discontinuing this topology - but they work great. WiFi, Amazon UltraHD, no cables, great interfa... | |

| Which one? Paradigm persona 3f, Revel Studio2, Audiosolution Figaro L, Goldenear reference @pbrown57 I completely agree about B&W. I keep a pair around just to remind myself what sounds too sharp when A-B’ing other speakers - because I have fallen into the ’detail trap’ before with those. For me, that additional information is great... | |
| Which one? Paradigm persona 3f, Revel Studio2, Audiosolution Figaro L, Goldenear reference I've been using GoldenEar Triton3+ for HT duty over a year now, after demo'ing the (then) entire GE line in Austin TX - while on a motorcycle trip. Removed both existing subs - no need for them with GE's. T3+ sound great even with mediocre power f... | |
| Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow Along with Onhwy66, I’d say it depends on speaker design.Narrow/wide baffle is not always better one way or the other. From my limited experience, wider the baffle, the more easily distinguishable point source for frequencies above the wavelength ... | |
| The best tweeter is no tweeter I agree with the Op based on one experience with LXmini's, that don't have a tweeter. Based on that one experience, I'd go one further and say the best speakers aren't in a box. | |
| Blown away with 2 speakers hifi sound! It's great to read people's excitement about gear upgrades! Awesome, and I wish you much enjoyment.I too have excitement for my new gear. I find especially just after trying something new, that I am listening to the system more so than the music,... | |
| Who knows something about Tri-channel 3-channel stereo for music (not HT)? My thought on dispersion was to be able to widen placement of L&R and remove toe-in for wider soundstage by adding the third one in the center - all facing straight forward. I don't know if that will be completely achieved.Finding the LXmini c... | |
| Who knows something about Tri-channel 3-channel stereo for music (not HT)? Next build might include Manger full-range driver in the LXmini form-factor - they look very interesting. I wouldn’t be the first, so am not taking credit for the idea. https://mangeraudio.com/en/discover/about/the-manger-sound-transducer Well,... |
