Get the node 2i. Dealer suggested it to me 5 months ago,  with tidal. That's what they use.  Been very happy with it.  We use it with our phones and I pad. I have Samsung phone and wife has apple. Play tidal in the car also, via bluetooth.  No cds... 
How much do we at A'gon influence the industry?
Michaelgreenaudio++++ perfectly said.  Many of the younger generation I work with uses the internet for everything.  And you are right, none of them fear starting there own thing on the net. They are of the internet age and know exactly how to get...

Benchmark looks great but 3k for 100 watts. Excellent reviews.  Channel Islands is using the nc400 at $2400 for 200 watts. Arc DS-450 has some serious juice, but can't demo used and I'm not sure how old the technology is, plus I want new. Red drag...

Tomic, it is sweet.  Just makes me scared if class d can out perform it. Also class d would keep the room cooler.  Winter time the temp raises 4 degrees in the room after an hour, but no more than 4 degrees.  Be fighting the ac in the summer.  Lol

Trying to keep 2 channel under 3k. I've read a lot about nord and apollon.  Both using the hypex nc500 and si amps. Emailed red dragon.  No response yet. I really want 400 watts. 200 just not enough for me. Looked at ati but not enough info for me...

@galleybob Bob I can only speak of the Sony TV, sound bar and DVD play. I am just very unhappy how it works together or shall I say how it doesn't work nicely together.  As for the Sony receiver I have no idea.  My dealer does sell Sony, but every...

Galleyboy, I dont know about airplay2.  But I'm not a big fan of Sony at the moment,  I have there f950 65", s5000 sound bar and DVD player in my bedroom.  I spent over 3k on the setup and all I can say is none of it plays well together.  And Sony...

@viridian I hate chores, but I will continue my search until I find the right fit. My Bat is an excellent sounding amp. Really no complaints,  I just want more juice.Clarinet, I am very patient but not sure if I can wait that long.  Wish the websi...

@viridian You maybe right. 20 yrs my memory might be failing or maybe I had more tolerance back then and found it entertaining.  Just here looking for good information before I purchase.  I do realize my system and ears will be the deciding factor...

@scott_w I looked at them after I read a reply from you mentioning them. I went to there website. Over 6k and a bit out of my reach. Dont think wife will approve the $$$$.

I did look at the red dragon.  I think I passed because I believe I read somewhere that the nc500 with sparkos or SI mp was better. I think RD uses ice and Pascal.  I am extremely new to the class d. So my knowledge is extremely limited.  I am fin...

Last night I downloaded the anthem calibration tool on my laptop.  I'm running 5 channels,  no sub. Called anthem because I had trouble with the microphone not being detected and also after the USB update on the mrx720 my network became disconnect...
