Streamer opinion.. Pease comment on validity.
Maybe a couple of real world a/b’s betweenStreamers hooked to the same DAC? Yeah I just did this. Compared a Node 2i to a Lumin U1 mini. As good as the node is, the Lumin is better. More transparent and natural to my ears. I know it's 4 times a... 
Basic Tidal streamer to USB DAC
I don't get streamers. I re-clock the usb data coming out of the pc. I use Tidal's player into an NOS dac, done. Two reasons.1) They sound better2) It gets a computer out of the signal chain. 
Signal break up on 7 month old Bluesound Node 2i
Your best investment would be to separate home theater from 2 channel. Far better than worrying about DACs, Tidal, etc.......Oz 
Moving up from a Node 2i
Just to be clear. If the improvement I heard out of the box was all there was,I wouldn't have spent the $$ either. That said, after some hours on the Lumin the improvement was great enough to justify the expense. If I only had 500.00 to spend on a... 
Ive recieved an offer for my set of Aerial 7T speakers of $700.00. Should I accept?
I had a pair of Aerial 7Bs for about a week. Only long enough to turn them around and out the door. I wouldn’t give you 700.00 for a pair. But good luck with your sale.Oz 
Moving up from a Node 2i
Update.After allowing the Lumin U1 mini to burn in for around 100 hours the gap widened between it and the Node 2i. I believe the Lumin is more transparent and tonally more natural than the Node. I am keeping the U1 mini and selling the Node. It's...

hilde45I think the Node 2i does a wonderful job at it’s price point. I will put mine back in the system soon to compare to my Lumin.Oz 
WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5
Any time I've heard Levinson amps they were sterile and lifeless. I think you can do better for 2500.00.Oz 
Vandersteen 5a, 15 years old vs. new Vandersteen Quatro Wood (upgrade or downgrade)
Crickets indeed.No, I am no vandersteen set up expert. I don't even play one on tv, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn last night.But I want either of you to tell me that you can get 100%, hell even 90% of what the 5a is capable of in a room that siz... 
Moving up from a Node 2i
Well it just arrived late yesterday. I found out that Lumin strongly recommends running minim server on the NAS, so I downloaded that and found my library while waiting on the delivery.Setup was painless, even easier than the Node. I have it runni...
