| Need a little help I'm more concerned with my question about the NAD and only having a L/ R preout and keeping both amps and the subwoofer in play... So the splitter will allow you to use the single pair of RCA outs from the NAD as three separate outputs you can ... | |
| BAT pre + ARC power Totally depends on what sound characteristics you’re looking for. How much is the BAT pre going for? | |
| Need a little help Use a splitter like the one I linked above. | |
| Subs? Subwoofers are still very difficult to integrate in a true HEA system. HT fans are less about seamless integration but praise the sound of jet engines/explosions and even dinosaurs walking through a jungle, not music to my ears! Dealers/sellers w... | |
| Digital Advice This Bluesound Vault will let you stream and you can also load all your CDs into it so you can have all your music from one source, and I believe it also works with Amazon Music. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650171585-bluesound-vault-2-st... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @clustrocasual Yes, I apparently and admittedly don’t get it. I’ve played drums in bands for decades and wrote professional reviews of high-end audio equipment for 17 years for the Soundstage network. Do tell, what is your system and what’s your ... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp What irks most Canadians is that it was Trump who signed the last free trade deal with Canada and Mexico and the next review is set for 2026. I think this bears emphasis. Trump said whoever made the trade deal made a very bad deal when in fact... | |
| Need a little help If you’re only using the two speakers you don’t need or want the Pioneer involved at all. Using a splitter isn’t optimal, but in this case you’re probably much better off using one with the NAD and something like this might work (also sold throug... | |
| SPEAKERS THAT SOUND ALIVE & DYNAMIC AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS I’d take a look at Volti speakers and maybe Audiokinesis. Best of luck. | |
| Bluesound node icon It’s a Swiss Army knife product with a decent DAC from what I can see. I can’t tell what kind of power supply it uses, which along with its price means it’s probably not a LPS and also sports a low-rent, two prong A/C plug socket neither of which... | |
| Subs? Definitely at least two subs, and three or four is even better if you can swing it. I’d go for 15” subs but no smaller than 12” because they’ll go lower and work more effortlessly with lower distortion than smaller subs. I think Rhytmik subs off... | |
| Streamer + DAC help: Bluesound vs Eversolo (vs Others) I agree on Eversolo, and although I’d definitely give the Icon at least 150 hours to burn in I think what you’re running into is that a combo DAC/streamer at that price point has limitations. With your budget I’ll reiterate that I’d go with a sep... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. Her voice was iconic and was an indelible part of my childhood, and many may not realize that she was a very competent drummer as well. I’ll definitely be giving her a listen today. | |
| Tidal SQ Issues It seems that we need to install a MQA Core-Decoder upgrade on the Aurender to play the files properly. Ugh. No, you don’t need to do anything except get Qobuz. | |
| Tidal SQ Issues Yeah, try Qobuz. I thought Tidal was done with cryptic algorithms making recordings sounding “better” after ditching MQA but apparently not. You’ll probably be happier with Qobuz. |
