@tk21 thanks for clarifying the conversion aspect; that's exactly what I wanted to know👍😊  
Roon/Bluesound Node - adding new DAC (non Roon-Ready)
@scottscottsdale thanks very much; I think I'm getting there 😁👍 Everything in the chain is on the same wired network, so all good I don't have my external DAC yet, (waiting for DHL) so still using the Node's internal DAC, but from what you descr... 
Roon/Bluesound Node - adding new DAC (non Roon-Ready)
@mike_in_nc thanks for this, that makes sense. I should have mentioned, I'm streaming from Qobuz and Tidal; no stored files at the moment.  I'm still confused as to which link in the chain is doing what? Is the DAC in the Node doing the DA conv... 
Roon/Bluesound Node - adding new DAC (non Roon-Ready)
Just an additional question; the more I try and get my head around Roon, the more confused I'm becoming.  Where is the actual Digital to Analogue conversion taking place? Is it; a) at the Roon Core stage on my PC, which is then passed to the Nod... 
BlueOs UI Question
@lowrider57 @dennism1956 ​​​​​​ Yep, it's really frustrating not being able enforce any order to your Qobuz saved albums etc. Is there any hint that Qobuz will roll out a "Connect" type app?   
BlueOs UI Question
@lowrider57 Wow! Ok, now I feel like an idiot. I've been suffering the same bugbear  as @skirescue911 since last summer. Thanks for this 👍😁

@willgolf thanks for this; yep that's my instinct too. I'll try source first  
Quantum Science Audio Thread
Hi guys,  I'm totally open minded to trying tweaks that seem to defy logic, to the point that I've ordered a QSA Light Blue fuse this morning from an online retailer I use a lot here in the UK.  At the moment only 13A QSA fuses are available for... 
New Naim Forum
Hi Nutty, Another Naim owner here 😊 I used to own an Olive set-up in the 1990s, but had to sell it all (new house/renovation 😔). Always regretted it as I am no longer married to that person. Anyway, after 20 odd years in the HiFi wilderness, I ...

Really sad news! Wasn't a Screaming Trees fan, but loved his solo career. "Scraps at Midnight" one of my standout albums from the 90s. RIP  
Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II
Hi,  Just one last share from me in this thread; not related to the Ares II but the Node and the effect of using its sub-out and inbuilt crossover.  The REL was a new experience for me, I've never owned a Subwoofer before. That was an eye (or ea... 
Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II
@williewonka Hi Steve, the 5si was fresh from the Naim factory in September to my dealer. I had a demo unit on loan for a couple of months until the new stock arrived.  Yep, the unit will probably need re-capping after x number of years, my deale... 
Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II
Thanks again for the all the thoughts and insights. There have been a couple of posts which I feel could explain why I came to the conclusion I did. @jin78 you’re the 2nd poster, I think, who has highlighted that there maybe a compatibility issue... 
Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II
@williewonka thanks for your post. I’ve recently started using an AQ NRG-Z2 C17 PC, which has made a nice difference. As for ICs, we’ll, I’m a bit of a hoarder; I posted earlier in the thread, I buy used or stock clearance from that auction sit...
