| Schiit - shipments stopped? I checked my order for a Freyga + today. Usually I see “in production 7-10 days etc etc”. Today I had a estimated delivery date of March something. Finally some communication !!!!Oh, no! When did you order yours? I placed my order on 10/30 and hav... | |
| Schiit - shipments stopped? I ordered a Freya+ on October 30th and still don’t have it or a tracking number, so I get the OP’s frustration. On the website, they tend to say something is “Backordered, ships on _____” but on the ship date they then say “In production. Ships in... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... Re: Your comments about the Node2 . You didn’t need to buy it.You can stream direct from a computer to a DAC that accepts USB(you do have a DAC, right? Check for inputs on your CDP if you don’t).Well, I don’t have a desktop but I have a MacBoo... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... I’m using a Bluesound Node 2i right now. It gets the streaming job done yet I can’t help but wonder why I had to pay $550 just to get a box that’ll let me stream Tidal from my phone to my amplifier.

| Bluesound Node 2i digital output problems... Sorry....forgot to post that I was finally able to identify the issue.I bought a $15 DAC from Amazon and it works perfectly with the Node. It turns out the problem has to do with either the DAC in my amp or with the digital input stage of my amp. ... | |
| Bluesound Node 2i digital output problems... I have tried other cables that have worked in other applications. I could try plugging my TV into the amp via toslink and see what happens. That’s the only way for me to test the amp itself. @jond: I’ve noticed that about Bandcamp after poking aro... | |
| Streamer's without built in DAC options? This seems like an inversion of the “budget is the limiting factor” issue so many of us run into. Here, the issue is the budget is higher than it needs to be and the options are limited. I asked a question about DACless streamers last week and got... | |
| Looking for a basic streamer without a DAC, preamp, storage and all that @brockwired “In my living room I sometimes cast to my smart tv. I am using toslink to my DAC. Works great and eliminates a ground loop.”I didn’t catch this earlier!! I don’t want to always have the TV on when I’m listening to music (infant in the ... | |
| Looking for a basic streamer without a DAC, preamp, storage and all that Some interesting ideas I hadn’t heard of before. Thanks, gents! I’d been thinking of the Node 2i but was wondering if there was something that had the same streaming functionality but minus a DAC because I thought that might save some $. I had bee... | |
| Looking for a basic streamer without a DAC, preamp, storage and all that Ok, so maybe there’s already an answer to this question. If so, can someone suggest where I should look? It’d be much appreciated. |
