| Streaming from Bluesound Node2i If you can, run an ethernet cable from your network. It will sound better than wifi.Oz | |
| Price Trends for Streamers? If you want a budget streamer just to get your feet wet, nothing compares to the Bluesound Node 2i at it's price point. Plug n play and sounds pretty good. If your goals are a little loftier, the Lumin devices offer better sound quality. As for su... | |
| Help with upgrade bug... MC,Not sure why you'd recommend speakers that you haven't even heard yet. They might be great, but you really don't know.Oz | |
| Tablet for Streaming Why are you connecting a tablet to your DAC? | |
| Youngsters these days. Your grandson is right in a way. You really should ditch the cd player and go to a good streaming setup. Rip all your cds to a NAS drive and use a streamer into a DAC. Not only is this more convenient, but you will experience a very noticeable im... | |
| Node 2i use with external DAC Don't limit yourself to schiit DACs. Look into some good tube based R2R dacs.Oz | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Sorry I have t heard the carver monos, but the Sachs preamp sounds very good with the 275.Oz | |

| Upcoming Neil Young album, Homegrown Vinyl. A must have? I am a huge Neil Young fan. But for me, with the exception of Americana, he hasn't been relevant since Greendale. It's been a steady decline since then.Oz | |
| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? Spatial Audio speakers have removable grills.That said, some speakers are designed with the grill to be left in place as this is how the speaker was tuned. Green Mountain Audio and Klipsch are two that readily come to mind. | |
| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? dbt,I thought the Sophias did a lot of things right, but there was something about the midrange I didn't like. It was smoothed over, no texture or realness to it. At the time I was comparing them to two other very good speakers, the Piega P10 and ... | |
| Bluesound node 2i wifi vs bluetooth connections sound quality There is no comparison when it comes to bluetooth vs wifi. Shouldn't even be an issue to be discussed, that's how bad bluetooth is.BTW, if you get the Node, do all you can to run it via wired ethernet. The sound is clearly better.Oz |
