| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? I have a friend with M3 Sapphires in an 11x14 room and they do really well in there.Oz | |
| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? What are your room dimensions? | |
| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? Faxer, Those are indeed interesting speakers, but if Uber is looking at the M3 Turbo S, I think your speakers are pretty far above his price range.Oz | |
| Badly recorded albums needing upgrading The OP is one of those audiophiles that listen to the sound of their system rather than the music. Sure, we wish all recordings were top notch and also would like there to be no stinkers in our collections. Sadly, that will never be so. A good sys... | |
| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? Although it’s been a few years, I have owned Maggie’s in the past. A pair of 1.6s with modded xovers and the 3.5s. I now have the Spatial Audio X3. To say I absolutely love these speakers would be an understatement. They are every bit as transpare... | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i I almost bought a Lumin D2. But I was afraid the on board DAC would not be the equal of my Pagoda.Oz | |
| Streamer recommendation under $3000 I was using a Bluesound Node 2i and wanted something better also. I bought a Lumin U1 mini. I am running this into my modified MHDT Pagoda DAC. There is a noticeable improvement over the Node in transparency and how natural the tonal balance is. I... | |
| Bits Are Bits, Right? In my system Quobuz is at the very least equal to my library stored on a Synology NAS (sometimes even better).Oz | |
| French Doors Only 8.5 years later, I'm sure he is still looking for doors.First post and this is the best you can do? | |
| Ditching Roon going back to BluOS for Bluesound Node 2i Well, the Lumin is 4 times the price of the Bluesound, so if there is anything to the saying "you get what you pay for", it should sound better. And of course, looking down the line, when a better streamer comes out for the same price as the Lu... | |
| Ditching Roon going back to BluOS for Bluesound Node 2i You are right. S/PDIF is a communication standard. Toslink is a connector. The difference is one is a coaxial cable with RCA connectors and the other is optical with Toslink connectors. I should have clarified that.Oz | |
| Ditching Roon going back to BluOS for Bluesound Node 2i No, S/PDIF is almost always coaxial, which is what I use. You are thinking Toslink.Oz | |
| Ditching Roon going back to BluOS for Bluesound Node 2i Compared to the Node 2i, the Lumin is more transparent and natural sounding. The music seems to be more continuous and less digital. As good as the Node is, and it is a killer value, the Lumin just steps it up and makes the music so much more enjo... | |
| Ditching Roon going back to BluOS for Bluesound Node 2i I used Bluos with my Synology NAS and it worked flawlessly. Love the bluos app.I now use a Lumin U1-mini with the same NAS and minimserver installed. This also works great.For the OP, you would be very surprised at how much better a Lumin streame... | |
