| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II @riccitone "Also happy you you’ve added a Rel t5/x to good effect. Was considering one of those for my own next purchase." I feel supplementing the LFs on the Quads opens up another dimension in how you listen to your music. For all the Quads ple... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II @jin78 Hi, I tried 3 different cables, all digital coax RCA cables; Wireworld Silver Starlight 7 QED Reference Audio 40 VDH The First (the first iteration of this line) I tend to scour auction sites, scooping up any good used or sto... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II @rhljazz Hand on heart, I can honestly say I never even considered the point you've just made; it makes total sense. I should have thought of it. But hey, no going back now. In hindsight, I probably should have bought the sub way back, ra... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II Thanks for all your thoughts, some great insights. Just to re-iterate, this isn't meant as a criticism of the Ares II, but for me, and the difference it made to my enjoyment of my system, it just wasn't cutting it. After my epiphany, all I could ... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II @wlutke you may be right. But, at that point in time, and where I was, the Ares II paid for my REL, which is definitely an overall improvement. However, I definitely take your point regarding modding the Node; I’ve been tossing around the idea in... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II @mahler123 worth a try. I can’t comment on the previous version of the Node as I’ve never heard them, but I have no further inclination to put an external DAC between my Node and amp following my experience. I must stress that this is very subject... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II @treynolds155 yes, it's the version that was launched last summer. Kind regards | |
| TP-Link MC200CM replacement PSU Thanks very much, that's really helpful. Much appreciated 😊👍 | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 - adding Sub Thanks audiotroy, I think I understand what you're saying. There seems to be a majority over on the Naim forums that one shouldn't connect a sub via the Naim speaker outs. (I would have to stack banana plugs, as the Nait doesn't have binding pos... | |
| How to tame a bright system? Not familiar with your amp, but I auditioned the B&Ws you have and found them headache inducing. I think trying to remedy with cabling is merely damage limitation, and isn't going to solve your problem, especially if you're sensitive to those ... | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? @totem395 ah I see. Enjoy the Pegasus, let us know your thoughts when it arrives 👍 | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? Just had to check; thanks @totem395 , you've disturbed my evening meal 😁. Yep, just started a 192khz on Qobuz; the Ares is displaying 48khz X4. Pheeeewwww 😊 one less thing to think about 🤔 | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? @totem395 thanks for the info; do you have a link to Alvin's original post. I wonder if that's true for the Node (2021) which is what I have, not the 2i. I'm sure I've seen the Ares II display 192khz on respective tracks/albums on Qobuz. Could ... | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? Just as an aside, I had a nice improvement, not night and day, but significant, by inserting a short length of optical cable between two TP Link Media Converters at the end of my run of Cat6a from my router, then a short run of Supra Cat8 with Tel... | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? Thanks for all the contributions to my OP. I think I'm going to take plunge on the TP PSU for my Node (2021). It seems to be a consensus that you would have to spend a lot more on a new streamer to see a significant SQ jump from an un-modded Node.... |
