| OPPO 105 as a streaming source/transport only Generally, a wired connection is preferred to wifi. But if you’re not having problems with dropouts, etc. I’m not sure wiring would give you a major boost. Play a CD through your DAC and then the same album from Tidal through your DAC. The stream... | |
| Blusound app for Windows, upgrade issues I think you mean NAD C658. I checked the Windows app store and a search didn’t turn up any streaming apps for NAD. I use the BluOS app for Android devices and it rarely even has a hiccup. I understand it works very well with Apple devices too. So ... | |
| Good Streamer with WiFi Connectivity The Bluesound Node 2i is a low cost streamer that does wifi. Some say that more expensive streamers sound better. The app that controls it (BluOs) is really good on both Apple or Android devices. If you are going to be using an Android device a... | |
| Tubes Everywhere! You may already be aware of this, PS Audio has their own forums. Here's a link to a thread on tubes for the 300s:https://forum.psaudio.com/t/since-my-first-bhk-300-thread-got-sort-of-hijacked-heres-mine-on-evaluat...There are probably others. | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes shkong78, Thanks for giving us the results of your shoot out. It's a lot of work to gather and listen to all those tubes in your system.Aside from which tubes are among the best, I take away a couple of points. First, the law of diminishing retu... | |
| If you had to start all over again in this day and age A streamer gets your music from your wifi router (modem) to your DAC or you can combine both functions in a streamer/DAC. You can connect to your wifi router wirelessly (wifi) or wired (ethernet cable, i.e. Cat 6, Cat 7, etc.).Digital inputs and o... | |
| If you had to start all over again in this day and age arro222, I think that the DAC has a much greater effect on the sound than the streamer. If your CD-8 has a digital in you can plug your streamer into it. I think streaming will sound as good as a manufactured cd. The DAC in the Node 2i probably is... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes No suggestions, looking forward to the results , though. | |
| Can you hear or tell difference? Yes that is normal. Being able to hear differences between them would be normal also. There's no right or wrong with streamers or audio in general, only what you hear. I think the DAC would have a bigger impact on sound quality, so I'm not surp... | |
| I Think I Am Becoming An Audiophile I also think of myself as a music lover rather than an audiophile, even though I have a nice system and probably never will get finished upgrading it.I recommend a streaming service for broadening your musical tastes. For $15 - $20 a month you get... | |
| James Taylor, so wonderful Thanks! Great song. He sounded good too. | |
| What would you do if items from Ebay had beenlost? Let us know what component you're putting your tubes into and which tube you end up using. | |
| What am I missing? Pre/power gain and input sensitivity. So how did we get into this situation, too much voltage from digital players and too much gain in preamps and amps, and how do we get out of it? | |
| What would you do if items from Ebay had beenlost? I'm glad to hear that you found your tubes shkong78. Now enjoy them! | |
| What would you do if items from Ebay had beenlost? shkong78, Don't punish yourself for someone else's problem. Has the Postmaster gotten back to you? It's up to the sender to insure his packages. If you don't receive the package, contact paypal or your credit card company to reverse the charge... |
