| Tidal "Exclusive Mode" + Dragonfly Red + IEMs If you can, ditch Tidal and it’s ridiculous and intrusive MQA crap and try Qobuz and you’ll probably be fine — and happier. I am, and I’m also using a Dragonfly Red in my headphone rig BTW. | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? I leave my audiophile brain home and just listen mindlessly like I’m listening to Alexa. We all preach how important the room is in getting good sound — the car’s interior is an audio nightmare, and to make matters even worse we sit on one side o... | |
| Node 2i and $1k DAC or Cambridge CXN V2? This one?Yeah that one. If you take away one thing from this thread, please let it be don’t get your higher-end audio advice from some hack on YouTube, because IME and as a reviewer myself, the vast majority of YT reviewers are just that — hacks ... | |
| Alternatives to B&W 805 D4 But I’m puzzled about how I can make a good selection. I can read reviews or graphs, but it will never be enough information to discriminate one over another.Well, that’s why I asked before what sound characteristics and improvements you’re lookin... | |
| Node 2i and $1k DAC or Cambridge CXN V2? Get this through Amazon and try it with your Node. I doubt you’ll return it and think it’ll smoke the Cambridge...https://smile.amazon.com/Musician-Pegasus-Decoder-DSD1024-Amplifier/dp/B0891X8BM8/ref=sr_1_2?crid=AGVMQHNJJVO4&dchild=1&keyw... | |

| Alternatives to B&W 805 D4 Would help greatly to know what sound/speaker characteristics are most important to you and what specifically you’d like to improve upon over what you have now. | |
| Should I pull the trigger? Why? What improvements are you looking for from your PSBs and what do you think the Triangles will do to achieve them? There are LOTS of good speakers out there nowadays so it’s important to be specific about what characteristics you’re looking ... | |

| Qobuz iPAD app and high rez First, I don’t know what hi-res badge you’re referring to — either a track is available in hi-res and is labeled that way or it isn’t. Second, I’ve never gotten or seen the pop up you mentioned, ever. Third, I just fired up Qobuz and tried three... | |
| Combining home theater with two channel Oh! by the way, what is everyone thoughts about my purchase?You’ve certainly chosen some nice components and I think you’ll hear a big improvement as long as the sound qualities of the Parasounds are inline with your tastes and match well with you... | |
| Need speaker suggestions for my evolving system! I think the LSA-20 Signatures or Statements would do what you’re looking for. Best of luck. | |
| iPhone/iPad good as a source, or get a streamer? I just been messing around with this on my iPAD when I discovered that on Qobuz app to get anything better than CD quality you have to download the track local.That’s not been my experience. I get up to 24/96 out of the Lightening port when strea... | |
| Qobuz iPAD app and high rez I’ve not heard of this either and doesn’t sound right to me. Check the settings in your Qobuz app and make sure you have the resolution settings set to 24/96 (I don’t think Apple passes anything higher than that out of the Lightening port but cou... | |
