| Help fine-tune my speaker search I would look at Dynaudio, Spendor, ProAc, Scansonic MB range if that is the type of sound you are looking for. | |
| Has Anyone Compared the DAC On a Bluesound NODE 3rd Gen to a Separate DAC? I have a Bluesound Node 2i. I first did a LPS upgrade on it, which brought about more detail, was a bit more relaxed, more refinement on the top end, and more bass definition. I then upgraded to a SMSL VMV D1SE. Brought about more detail, and agai... | |
| Speakers with a slightly warm midrange I would suggest Spendor, Proac, Scansonic and Dynaudio | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. Pdreher. I upgraded my Bluesound Node 2i with a LSPU. It made quite a noticeable difference. You could do an upgrade like I did for around 300 euros. Used an upgrade board and a LSPU from Allo. Might be a good option to consider to give you the co... | |
| Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies? Based on my experience Naim drive maggies really well. Tends to be good synergy. Others that have sufficient power to drive maggies are Hegel and more left field Gato. | |
| Solid state amp to go with tube preamp; used ok; budget: $3k max I would look at Ayre and Naim (XS2/3 or SN2/3) | |
| Scansonic mb3.5 vs mb5b Hi @verdantauduo. Nice to hear re the Scansonic's. I have a pair of MB5B'S. I can't get them more than around 8 feet apart, due to furniture in the room. What do you lose? I have them at least 1m away from the side and the back wall. | |
| Scansonic MB 3.5 review and interesting background info. I have a pair of MB5B'S. I cannot comment on the originals from experience. But my understanding from what I have read is that the B's have a bit more of a neutral response. I would love to get more people talking about them as there is such a sma... | |
| Rank the top reference DACs you've heard All those dacs are currently out of my price League, but believe the Molo Mola Tambaqi needs to be included. | |
| Advice on a streamer I would also suggest the following: Bluesound Node/Vault with external DACLumin (new one will be outside your budget, but worth stretching if you can)Cambridge Audio CXN2 Pecanpie streamer also really good if you want to go down the Raspberry Pi r... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use I have a Naim Nait XS2. Beautiful midrange. Expressive top end. Lots of PRAT. | |
| any suggestions on what to replace Bluesound Node 2i with I upgraded the board and PSU on my 2i. Used PD Creative in Poland, and an Allo Shanti LSPU. It added more transparency, more detail in the treble, more defined bass, but did slightly remove some of the warmth of the standard system. There was a sl... | |
| 3 Ingredients to a Healthy Audio Community It's great that this gets a mention. One thing I have also learnt in hifi is that nothing beats experience. And it doesn't help being dogmatic about things, especially when that dogmatic opinion only comes from reading other perspectives on hifi, ... | |
| New Scansonic MB2.5B vs older MB2.5 I tried the MB2.5B’s. Incredible speaker. Mid range like a Maggie and Spendor. Yet more detailed in the treble without being fatiguing. Bass is good. Soundstage amazing too. Bass is fast and tight, but needs lots of room to breathe. Transparency a... |
