| The Decline of the Music Industry @simao “Caribbean queen”!!! What an awesome track!!! I am going to listen to that tonight while I read the suddenly very volatile comments in this thread. Also going to check WAP! The beauty of streaming services. And they say the music industry... | |
| Late Night Jazz So many that I would recommend are already listed here. But I would put a lot of Frisell on this list including ghost town. And an Eberhard Weber album Later That Evening as well which features Frisell. | |
| The Decline of the Music Industry I don’t necessarily think the music industry has declined as much as it has lost some of its relevance to some people and even some musicians. Especially with the internet. There is so much out there and so many ways for people to hear and experie... | |
| I love sad music Scrolled through and see someone already mentioned I see a darkness. I would add jesus blood hasn’t failed me yet and the sinking of the titanic by Gavin Bryars. The cure also has some significantly melancholic music. And the bends album by Radioh... | |
| I was going to give my son a system, with brand new Solid Steel rack but he has AirPods??? I have my AirPods in my ears a hell of a lot more than I sit down and listen to my system to be honest. A few hrs a day listening to podcasts and watching videos on YouTube. I don’t think they mutually exclusive. I guarantee if he can hear a good ... | |
| tube magic with digital source? I definitely find that tubes sound different than solid state. But in many ways if the DAC is detailed and natural sounding enough, the solution to big holographic sound presentation can depend a lot on speaker placement and phase correctness (if ... | |
| New at Qobuz - no HiRes sound Of course my pleasure. I posted a very similar question to the forum a few weeks back and got it resolved and it is nice to pass along the info. I am quite surprised that the node analog out compares favorably to your levinson. I would say that de... | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? I have found my node2i very stable. Also using an Ethernet cable to an Apple airport express. Compared to Oppo default streamer it is much more stable and a better overall interface (don’t know anything about Sonos). I did not do extensive sound q... | |
| New at Qobuz - no HiRes sound I have a feeling your DAC has been generation gapped and cannot decode the hi Rez file formats coming from the Node. I have the exact same problem. Some HR files read while others do not. Sadly unless ML can provide a firmware update you are out o... | |
| What’s the benefit of placing speakers like this? (diagonally at the corner) https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/3798In my space, the diagonal allows for good symmetry when it comes to space from walls and listening chair distance. This allows for good soundstage balance (a very important factor for me). And the space tha... | |
| Jay’s Audio DAC I will chime in here as well. I am looking to upgrade from a many years old EMM LABS dcc2 SE to a new dac that can handle higher bit rates. The problem is that if the DAC can handle oversampled but doesn’t sound good what’s the use. Any one have a... | |
| spend on the streamer or on the DAC ? I just recently switched from an oppo bdp 103 as a streamer to a Node 2i. Both feeding an Emm Labs dcc2 SE. One thing that is absolutely obvious in my case is how much better both streamers sound when the Emm Labs handles the processing (including... | |
| Bluesound Node 2i with EMM LABS Thanks again for your comments, Mahler. And thank you for your PM, Alchemyman. It sounds like we have all had some issue signing up for Qobuz. Mahler had some problems that were solved by signing up on the app. Oddly, I had the opposite proble... | |
| Bluesound Node 2i with EMM LABS I don't mind paying for both services while I see which is most compatible with my DAC. I happened to notice that when you use the Node 2i/TIDAL with MQA disabled there are plenty of MQA tracks that stream at 44.1/16. But there are also plenty t... | |
| Bluesound Node 2i with EMM LABS Jeez. Signed up for qobuz and all of the tracks are incomplete. Every track I try to play starts in the middle of the song. Entered CC details to sign up for standard service 44.1/16. The standalone qobuz app only plays samples and the bluOS star... |
