| Mark Lanegan Has Died 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... | |
| 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... |
