| Stack Audio Auva Isolator Yes, the AUVA 100's arrived Monday. So far I have compared several tracks I know well and that I felt could sound better. Along with tracks that reviewers used to describe the AUVA sound. The AUVA's are besting the Podiums in clarity. Not night an... | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator Just ordered the AUVA 100's. I will compare them to Podiums. Josh sent me a discount code that is good for this week, saved $91.86. The 30 day return may be of use. We will see. | |
| Step down transformer for a turntable My Japan market Victor QL-A75 runs wonderfully with a step down transformer, it draws 16 watts. Like others have said better to have more watts than needed. Avoid the cheapest ones. The one I use is rated for 1120 watts continuous power, and I plu... | |
| Eric Carmen The wife and I are streaming all his hits now in honor of his life. Since we need be somewhere in about 30 minutes, it will be perfect timing. All kidding aside, We are singing along. I love Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2 and every time I hea... | |
| Sound Quality of Cables Used With Bluesound Node In my experience, coax is better than optical, and USB can be better than coax. But this is very system dependent. Some DAC's just sound better with one type of input compared to the others. So there is no hard rule here. And to muddy the waters ... | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour V Thanks for your perspectives @smallmouthrule and @dhungana. I have been in contact with Vlad who has been very responsive with questions. I am sure I will end up with a Tubadour in the future. | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour V @dhungana Thanks for your detailed updates. Interesting observation of better sound with the addition of the DDC before the AM V. I have heard that Vlad is using some DDC tech in the V. Perhaps this is a case of more can't hurt, and can or should ... | |
| Which LPS is worth it for Bluesound Node 2i? I have the PD creative board and Sbooster for a Node 2i. As mentioned by others a nice upgrade. I use it as a steamer only. Brent at Fidelity Audio in the UK also builds power boards and linear power supplies for the Node. I had him build his Ref... | |
| Art Blakely & The Jazz Messengers Caravan (2024 Remaster) - anyone heard it? This is on Qobuz now. Search "Caravan (Remastered 2024)" and you will see it. | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour V smallmouthrule and jrizk13, any updates on the sound of the V compared to the IV and III ? | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour V Any updates on how the V compares to the III and IV now that they are broken in? | |
| Question/Help Needed: Boomer who is totally inexperienced with DACs and streamers. It looks like the BlueSound has optical and USB outs...so would I connect one of them to the corresponding input in the amp/DAC? Connecting to your built in DAC with USB will support higher resolution files compared to Optical. | |
| Question/Help Needed: Boomer who is totally inexperienced with DACs and streamers. Yes, you can send a digital signal from the streamer (BlueSound or other) to the input in your built in DAC. And yes, control the streamer from a tablet or phone, and in the case of BlueSound, a PC as well. And the BluSound Node has a built in DA... | |
| Question/Help Needed: Boomer who is totally inexperienced with DACs and streamers. Since your Alexa device has a digital out then you should be able to connect directly to the built in DAC of the NAD. From the link you sent, it looks like the DAC accepts USB in. If it does not have COAX in, then you may need to convert COAX to ... | |
| Streamer question jzzmusician, you say you are accessing the Spotify and Qobuz apps from your iPad and NOT from within the the BluOS app. That's sound like you are running the songs locally on the tablet and sending them to the Node through wifi. If I am correct, t... |
