Bluesound Node 2i with EMM LABS
Does qobuz allow you to choose quality for all tracks?  I can’t find any info about this specific aspect. Changing streaming service would be an ideal solution if there are the same number of artists but more flexibility in terms of bitrate. Thank... 
Bluesound Node 2i with EMM LABS
This is interesting.  I will have to verify if all hi res tracks in bluOS have an alternative 16 bit version. My preliminary findings are that there are some that are over sampled only. For example I could only find the remastered version of Peter...

Ideally blue sound will provide a software update for all streams to be lowest common denominator redbook quality for those of us with great sounding but generation gapped DACs.

Thanks for the input!!  I definitely KNOW MQA is not viable on the emm labs. So that is out of the question as you mention. What I am wondering is if there is some alternative to THEIR alternative. Which is to say I disable the MQA in the node and... 
Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on!
I don’t really listen to entire albums from start to finish. But what I notice about this thread is that there are LOTS of good music recommendations. Thanks for that. And having said that I don’t listen to albums straight through, I did last nigh...

It doesn't seem like things have gone forward with this thread.  So I am posting to try to keep it alive a little bit.  I am between Cooperstown and Utica, NY and I have enough room for a small meet if anyone is interested.   
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
I will add my 300B amp to this list. It was custom made by Blackie Pagano. I will own it forever. Any other amps I own will be backups to this amp. 
Small Room, Large Speakers... Help
Thanks for the input! You are both right. I jumped the gun. I am curious, however, if people have the same size room and say, "There is NO WAY it will work, don't even try." That would save me some grief. I can re-purpose the room in that case and...

Resurrecting an old thread here. Just moved to cooperstown area. Anyone around?  
Setting up dual subwoofers to a two channel amp.
Thanks jj! Yes. The Emm labs dcc2 is a pre amp in addition to being a DAC. This line out method is most likely the way I will go. It was my understanding that using high level speaker connections was the best way. But the line level seems to make ... 
Setting up dual subwoofers to a two channel amp.
Thanks for the advice, rodge but I think i am going to try to find as simple a solution as possible. As it is, my system is very simple and the components are as high quality I can get. Adding an additional component as complicated as the dual cor... 
Setting up dual subwoofers to a two channel amp.
An interesting solution kelvin. I can do this with my Emm labs pre amp. Please forgive then ignorant question but I connect it to the volume out right? Rather than the line out? In order for the bass response to match the volume of the system as a... 
Setting up dual subwoofers to a two channel amp.
This is all great info. Thanks so much! 
Setting up dual subwoofers to a two channel amp.
In addition, would I be correct in describing the alternative method you mentioned as having two sets of wires running from one set of speaker posts on my SET? One set to the full rangers and one set to the speaker input of the sub amp?
