| A quick question on what streamers to consider....... Beware BSN. It doesn’t love all dacs. I’m interested in the suggestions here as I am streaming from a MacBook Pro at the moment. I’m considering the new U2 Lumin. The sonore is interesting but I would avoid it given all the boxes required. ... | |
| Roon is snappy responsive now My experience is the exact opposite. Each time my phone locks, the roon remote app on my iphone loses connection with roon sever running on a macbook pro. When I reopen the remote app I have to restart it to resume playback control. I'm not sure w... | |
| New streamer thanks for posting. i'm also in search of a new streamer solution. i have a bs node n130 and tried the TP power supply. seemed fine but I find the BSN does not love all external dacs. i'm back to my macbook to a D1100 as dac/pre. the rendu is inte... | |
| DAC compatibility Thanks for that. I tried the renderer setting but no luck. BTW, The D90 only does MQA via USB, so no go on the optical/coax. The issue may be related to the USB out on the BSN. I'm reluctant to give up the BSN as I bot a TP power supply and a $... | |
| DACed and Confused here... I'm unclear on whether I can use a "desktop" DAC in a full two channel system. I'm currently stream using BS node and the internal DAC for MQA processing. While I like the node, it seems the SQ can be improved by using an external DAC. I've read ... | |
| Streamer question I have a similar set up: Node with upgraded TP LPS using internal DAC for MQA output to a Parasound pre via RCA for volume control. Despite all the controversy regarding MQA, Tidal can stream natively from its own app. I hate the BS software as we... | |
| Poll: Most impactful component I sit on sofa directed at my system. An upgrade to an arm chair would be nice. | |
| Poll: Most impactful component For my system it’s a quality standalone DAC that had the biggest impact. My listening consists of 75% CDs and 25% streaming. @mksun DAC with LPS? Type of DAC technology or DAC chip? Do these factors matter? 🤔 | |
| Poll: Most impactful component Do integrateds, kind of an all in one, have their role? someone mentioned room which may dictate your choice of speakers. But controlling for room, speakers and their placement appear to be most important. | |
| Poll: Most impactful component There's this guy on youtube who plays in the upper high end of audio equipment. I watch him occasionally and managed to notice the DAC is one component that lasts through his high velocity testing. If you don't stream I suppose preamps rank supre... | |
| Poll: Most impactful component Really great discussion and diversity in views. Sadly this really adds to my confusion. I can't decide! I'm fairly new to the hobby. All this information is great. This hobby is very personal. Then why do we rely on equipment reviews and base our... | |
| Help with hiss This is a natural phenomenon. You can spend the rest of your life trying to figure this out. Based on the writings of Stereophile and others, this hiss is originating from your components. The noise floor is poor and this hiss is symptomatic of po... | |
| Jazz like this? Suggestions Great topic because I’m just scratching the surface. Can someone experienced with this genre of jazz create a shared Qobuz playlist??? Thanks. | |
| Spending a month's salary @smodtactical let’s not get off track. Read the full thread. 🙄 | |
| Spending a month's salary No doubt that this is a lot money to spend. The title is a bit of sarcasm. Some have the cash to make rash decisions. This hobby can get one in deep trouble. This board is a great resource. I don’t have a local hifi shop to visit. Thanks for al... |
