| 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.... | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? At the moment I have the QED Reference Digital Audio 40, and a Wireworld Silver Starlight 7. The QED was a starting point when I built my system, the Wireworld I bought pre-owned for a good price. Currently using the Wireworld, it is more rev... | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? Thanks again. I don't use the Node DAC at all, love the Denafrips. I run them with the the Naim Nait 5si, and Quad S2 speakers. I love my system in essence, I just feel the Node is the weak element. A/B testing from the Node DAC and Denafrips, ... | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? @auxinput thanks for that, that's really useful. I thought there would definitely be a SQ improvement, but not at the level you've described. Do you think I would see much improvement using only the coax digital out on the Node, as opposed to usin... | |
| Seeing sounds and music..... Truly inspirational thread, Thank You!I've never expressed these experiences to my friends, I'm not sure they experience music on this level. I have never heard or read in this case, of people enjoying what is for me, the ultimate endpoint of musi... | |
| Can (or should) you “Reclock” a Bluesound Node? @audiotroy unfortunately, Bluesound still haven't released the firmware update to activate the USB on the latest Node for digital out. Apparently its slated for around the end of this year.Us users are stuck with SPDIF at the moment 🥴 | |
| DAC connection: which type gives highest fidelity? Just curious about the Node/Denafrips issues. I feed my Denafrips Ares II via the Node (2021) using only digital RCA coax. I listen to Tidal and Qobuz at all bit and sampling rates available; I’ve never witnessed this at all to be honest.I’ve seen... | |
| Denafrips Ares ii HiI can't really answer your first 2 questions as I bought mine pre-owned from an auction site and haven't heard a tube DAC. I run my Ares II fed by the Bluesound Node 2021 and Audiolab 6000CDT, into a Naim Nait 5si and Quad S2 speakers; I can't h... | |
| Ethernet cable for Streaming @mitch2 thanks very much for the advice. I went with a short run of optical fibre between a pair of TP Link converters you linked in one of your previous posts above. My Cat6a feeding in to the first converter, and a short run of Supra Cat8 termin... | |
| 2xRCA to 5pin Din options for Naim Nait 5si Wow!!! Thanks very much for this Steve; that's a whole new world. Definitely food for thought. The My Audio Alchemy site is a brilliant resource; it's very accessible even for a complete novice, and very comprehensive.I think the endorsements the ... |
