| Will Bluesound ever offer Qobuz Connect compatibility Great! Thank you, gkelly. I can wait, I have more time than money 💰 | |
| Will Bluesound ever offer Qobuz Connect compatibility oddiofyl, thank you for your response. I am not wild about BluOS as a whole. But with my budget I cannot afford to move upward. Aurender is on my wish list as is Lumin and Innuos. But the more I learn about these 3 I find Aurender is the list lead... | |
| Do some DACs "handle" sibilance better than others? Yes it can, and some DACs like the Chord Hugo TT II  has 4 filter setting that can let you dial it back some. But if your DAC doesn’t have filter settings, you may be able to make the adjustment with different digital cables. You might try the Cab... | |
| Need to get off of bluetooth.... looking for a wifi streamer for my budget The Bluesound Node is a good way to break ground on getting started. And if you check online, a number of dealers are selling the previous generation for 300 or slightly more. The money you save from the 500 in your budget can go toward a good dig... | |
| Vinyl Warm Up Time Thank you, Pindac, for a great explanation of what I have believed for years. I always play one album that I don’t plan to listen to as a cartridge warm up. Then I play the albums I have set aside for my session. I have always felt, and would say ... | |
| Thoughts on using the DAC in my oppo 205 with a CD Transport. In an opposition to your scenario. I have an Oppo 105 that I use as a transport with a Chord Hugo TT II as the DAC and have had very good results. The Hugo definitely outperforms the Oppo DAC. But in reality I seldom play CDs anymore with most of ... | |
| Audio Research LS28SE vs McIntosh C53 I realize that tubes are not prone to defect, however they can fail. Just as transistors can fail and the cure for a failed tube is much easier than that of a failed transistor or cap. But it is still a possibility of change that I am drawn to inv... | |
| Audio Research LS28SE vs McIntosh C53 Yes-ura-pirate, thanks for your advice and yes I do plan to listen to the Mac before I decide. Or any other brand that pops up as a candidate for the change. Jallan, I had no idea that ARC was planning to re-enter the SS market. Yes I would reall... | |
| Audio Research LS28SE vs McIntosh C53 ghdprentice, thank you for your very informative response. I have had McIntosh preamps although the last 3 were pre-pro. I have had 3 AR pre amps now and I do really like the LS28SE currently in my system. A recent bout with tube failure at 1900 h... | |
| PS Audios new PMG series.. Maybe PS Audio? Paul? | |
| PS Audios new PMG series.. Soix, I would have to agree that it is dying, but it saddens me that all my non-hybrid disc will join my 8 tracks when and if my Oppo dies. Ironically my first couple SACD players were Marantz then Ayre and now Oppo. I actually still have a brand ... | |
| PS Audios new PMG series.. Mofimadness makes my point of reference. And without SACD players the SACD would only be a remastered redbook disc. Thank you Mofimadness for pointing out the portion of the Paul McGowans presentation.  That aside, does anyone think that anoth... | |
| PS Audios new PMG series.. I was sad to hear that Marantz was the last company to make transport drives for SACD and plans to discontinue them. And in a post below Steely Dan Katy Lied is just about to be released on SACD. A little puzzling to me.🤔 | |

| Bad idea? Depends on the cable. Have you looked at used? |
