| Blue sound Node 2 vs Lumin D1 Well, I received my Bluesound Node 2 yesterday. Listening to it now. I am very pleased with it. Listening to MQA and regular digital files. Can't say that I can tell a difference though I haven't done an AB comparison of the same song in both ... | |

| Blue sound Node 2 vs Lumin D1 No DAC now. The rest of the system is a Bryston 4bsst2 power amp. Audio Research LS-15 Pre, Bryston BCD-3 CD Player, VPI Aries turntable with Dynavector xx2 cart and Vandersteen Quatro CT speakers. | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? Calvinj...please elaborate. Why not mention the dealer name? I seriously doubt your post will be deleted. If absolutely won't give the name...then how about a clue? I live and shop in the DFW area. | |
| Lumin D1, has anyone heard it? I too am looking for relatively simple one box setup to stream Tidal maybe my CD collection if I ever get around to ripping them. One of the servers I have been considering is the Aurender A10. Anyone compared the D1 to the A10? The D1 with an ... | |

| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black An analogy that works for me since it relates to another hobby of mine, photography, is the difference between a printed version of a photograph and an image displayed on a digital monitor. An image displayed on a good monitor/lcd screen can be r... | |
| Grado cartridges still worth the money? I have the Grado Statement 2 (low output) which just replaced the older version of the same cartridge that I had for over 15 years. VPI Aries turntable and the original VPI HW 10 tonearm. Great midrange...open and detailed. I've been very happy... | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars I would second the recommendation to consider the Proac D48R. I auditioned these extensively just a few months ago. Ultimately I chose the Vandersteen Quatro CT (which I would also recommend you consider). I have always enjoyed the Proac sound ... | |

| What is you TIDAL setup? " I suggest you consider getting a model without the DAC builtin into the player/streamer and keep the DAC separate. "Well now, that is exactly the dilemma I am in. For simplicity the A10 its appealing; like a integrated amp is appealing as oppos... | |
| What is you TIDAL setup? Thank you for your input about the A10. The simplicity of having a "one box" streamer/dac/storage component certainly is appealing. I do read the Computer Audiophile forum. While there was a review a while back and there is a lot of discussion ... | |
| What is you TIDAL setup? So tell me more about the A10. I am considering this unit but have read very little about it and am curious to get a first hand report from an owner. | |
| New Lux SACD unit Please pardon one more BDA-3 digression. I have a Sony XA5400ES which has an HDMI output. Has anyone tried running the 5400ES through the BDA-3. I am thinking of getting the the BDA-3 to attach to a streamer but if I could improve my 5400ES tha... |
