| Difference between amps Real life performance differences of multi channel amps depends on your application and supporting gear. Most of the modern multi channel amps are built for HT duty. They do a nice job of powering the sound of the chop of a helicopter blade or the... | |

| Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on? Regarding your preamp, do you have another source like a CD player or turntable to test with or can you borrow one? If another source sounds good then maybe it's not the pre. For your digital source, I put in a Node 2i hard wired ethernet and ditc... | |
| Upgrade: will I hear it? A new DAC may help, but IMHO, your Marantz may be the problem with your 2CH enjoyment. The 8802 is about as good of a pre as any receiver can be, but still not a match for a good dedicated pre. I know you said you do not want to mess with tubes, I... | |

| How to connect Tidal to DAC wireless via iPad Perhaps that could work. I have not seen a router that outputs via USB. Your router may have a USB port for another purpose. But a network cable out to the Node will work for sure.In my experience the Node2i should be a nice improvement over your ... | |
| How to connect Tidal to DAC wireless via iPad Not all streamers output to USB. But most will out as optical Toslink. And if I am not mistaken, your DAC accepts Toslink as an input. A splitter or hub should be fine to the network cable to the streamer. | |
