| Audioquest Storm Series power cables @jayctoy thanks for the post and your experience with these PCs. I'm currently using lower level AQ PCs and wanted to see/hear for myself if they benefitted my system before moving on up and..... Yep, they certainly do. Best wishes | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding Lots I just don't get, am indifferent to, or actively dislike. Oasis are in the latter category. They were unavoidable here in the UK back in the 90s, and for me utterly insufferable. Everytime you turned the radio on, the TV, everywhere. The wh... | |
| Denafrips Ares II - Why did you sell? @djspinner i think that's a good point. It's what I did. I bought the Ares II pre-owned and sold it again for the same price I bought it for, minus PayPal charge of course. | |
| Denafrips Ares II - Why did you sell? I started a thread a little while back on why I sold my Ares II. I sold mine at the start of the year, as I felt it didn’t justify its cost, and SQ performance in my system, against the internal DAC of the Bluesound Node (2021 model). In hindsig... | |
| How important is spending time with your gear? @erik_squires Would never have thought of this concept, but now you have brought it in to the world; I read your OP, paused to digest, and then felt disturbingly uneasy at the thought of it. Gave me an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I t... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Node (2021) @skirescue911 Hi, I’ve just started using the USB output on my Node "3" to a new DAC I’ve had for around a month. While for me it works flawlessly streaming natively from the Node/BluOS, Roon/USB has issues in the form of pops and crackles. This ... | |
| Poll: Naim owners, what cabling are you using? DIN? RCA? NACA5? Other? @jsbach1685 sorry, to correct the above; I *don't own Naim source components | |
| Poll: Naim owners, what cabling are you using? DIN? RCA? NACA5? Other? @jsbach1685 Hi I have the Nait XS2; I tried Witch Hat Phantom speaker cables, I found them a little bright so returned them. I've finally settles with Atlas Hyper 2.0 for speaker cables and Atlas Hyper Symmetrical interconnects (RCA). I o... | |
| BLUESOUND NODE ISSUE It maybe you've had just ridiculously bad luck with 2 faulty units in succession; you've tried 2 different sources, and cables and the same thing occurs. Have you tried a RCA digital coax to 3.5mm Jack cable instead of optical? Just a thought. Ag... | |
| BLUESOUND NODE ISSUE @moose89 Hi I've had the N130 for about 10 months with my CDT plugged in to analogue/digital input with no issues. If I play a CD, the Node auto-plays from the CDT and overrides the streaming signal. No issues at all. It seems odd this h... | |
| DHL and the definiton of insanity @carlsbad I'm in equally a frustrating situation with DHL here in the UK. I'm waiting on delivery of a DAC I bought here in the UK from a manufacturer only 200 miles away, maybe less. It is now Good Friday, my DAC was originally due to be collect... | |
| Roon/Bluesound Node - adding new DAC (non Roon-Ready) @oldrooney I can definitely relate to that; old dog, new tricks 😁 I've read that re; Auralic recommending wifi over wired; I gave a difficult time getting my head around this, as I like the solidity and tangible connection ethernet gives. But aga... | |
| Roon/Bluesound Node - adding new DAC (non Roon-Ready) @mike_in_nc hi Mike, I agree, definitely worth a try. I like what I see so far with regards to bringing Qobuz and Tidal in to one interface, along with suggestions etc, plus easier sorting. The other draws are the DSP elements. I'm not sold yet, ... | |
| Roon/Bluesound Node - adding new DAC (non Roon-Ready) @vanson1 i haven't bought it, I'm using the trial to see if it will benefit me in any way. If not, I'll leave it at that. Regarding a DAC, as per my OP, I'm waiting for it to be shipped. |
