| Innuos Pulse Incoming The 8950 DAC is a really good sounding DAC. I would try it via Coax and USB and see which you prefer. With USB the McIntosh DAC uses it's clock , with Coax the Mac uses the source clock. No right or wrong way, may or may not be a difference... | |
| Dac with build-up streamer I would take my Vault 2i anyday over an Eversolo. It always works. I also have an Aurender N200. Unmatched support which is what you absolutely need with a streamer. You may never need them but they remotely logged into my machine and fix... | |
| Dac with build-up streamer I would caution anyone spending $4k on a streamer to think twice about Eversolo. Support is non existent. They have no sense of urgency when they release bad firmware. May look great but wait until you need them to fix bugs. Waiting 6 mont... | |

| Upcoming Bluesound Icon Node vs other well known and good sounding DAC/streamers I also own an Aurender but I still use my Vault 2i every day. My second system gets a ton of use and that Vault has some serious hours on it. Not surprised you think the Icon is good. Enjoy. | |

| Arcam cd player If you shine a bright light into the display you should be able to see where the IR receiver is. If the display is the only "window" it is most likely part of it. | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT I think Jim summed it up for me with respect to Bluesound VS Aurender . I still use my Vault in my second system. Still a great platform. | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT I went from a Blusound Vault 2i to an Aurender N200 ... not super expensive but considerably more money. Given that it is my most frequently used source , I have to say it was worth it to me. I got a great deal by leveraging another component towa... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS So many devices measure great. Some affordable ones even push the limits of the very equipment used to test them. Says a lot , but how does it sound???? If someone wants to put a system together entirely based on specs more power to them. ... | |
| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner Visit EquiTechs website. That is how their Balanced Power works. Measure as I described and you should see that +60 hot to ground -60 neutral to ground | |
