| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It @ romanesq I’ll have to give that a try as well although I have no plans to use it in my system that way as I need more inputs than the RME allows. | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It @paulcreed I went into the RME to change the filter to NOS to give it a try. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to listen to it today though. I was in the settings and had the EQ off. Bass and treble at 0. I could have something else not set right.... | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It Yesterday I hooked up my old Peachtree DaciTx using a fiber optic cable from the Bluenode. I also kept the RME connected to the Bluenode with Coax. This was the best and easiest way for me to do some comparisons without having to disconnect anyth... | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It @ paulcreed I haven’t tried the NOS filter yet. I’ll give that some listening time today. I listened a good while yesterday using the Sharp filter.And yes I leave it powered on 24/7. | |
| Amazon Music and Bluesound Node 2i I got rid of Amazon HD and kept Tidal. The whole point of me getting a streamer was:No. 1 Convenience If the service doesn't integrate well with the BluOs system then it's gone. No. 2 Easily finding new music to listen to.No. 3 Convenience S... | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It @douglas_schroeder " Generally, if I have to work that hard to make a component sound wonderful, then you probably won't adore the sound long term."I see what you're getting at. If I have to put that much work and money into an already fine piec... | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It I was just using the sd sharp and switched to sharp. I haven't really intensely listened using that filter setting yet. I'll give it some serious listening time tomorrow. I did turn off the eq just in case. | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It @douglas_schroeder It's funny that I never had a problem with my analog rig. Whether I changed a cartridge, phono stage or turntable. Yes, I have used a cartridge that wasn't a very good match with my tonearm or phono stage but it was still engag... | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It I'm using the hardwired Ethernet connection on the Node. Cat 5 though. | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It Thanks adg101. I got a little confused and thought you were referring to the ADI-2 power cord. I did upgrade the pc on the Bluesound. I am currently using an AudioQuest NRG-Y.I would have to have a pretty long length on that Cat 8 cable. My router... | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It One other note on the sound that I'm experiencing. I noticed the center images especially seem small when compared to my analog rig. I played Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick (Steve Wilson remix) on vinyl and I streamed the digital version on Tid... | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It @ recluse That's one thing I haven't tried yet is using the balanced outputs. Will need to get another balanced cable though first. I only have one pair and it's being used between preamp and power amp. I do have an old pair of Straight Wire ... | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It I may fiddle with it for a while longer. I appreciate the advice given but one thing I’m NOT going to do is put more money into the RME ie. Power supply, better cables, etc.I’m currently using a SUPRA TRICO-RCA 1 digital cable. I’ve tried a Blueje... | |
| USB cable from external HD to Oppo BDP 103 @jag Thanks. I haven't bought a more expensive cable yet and agree that my money would better spent elsewhere. Funny you suggest the higher quality digital cable because I have been looking at just that. I am presently using a Bluejeans cable (... | |
| Why don't more recordings have soundstage outside of speakers This topic reminds me of Carver's Sonic Holography. Years ago I had a Carver preamp with the SH built in. It worked but had to be set up just perfectly with your listening position with 1/4 inch distant from each speaker. Many rock recordings ar... |
