| MQA and the "Pre Ring - Post Ring" Hoax cj1965, Please calm down. If MQA is a hoax, it will not become the industry standard. So far it is only being used to stream hi-res on Tidal. Tidal always offers the albums it has encoded with MQA in 16/44.1 also.I don’t know how familiar you are ... | |
| MQA and the "Pre Ring - Post Ring" Hoax I heard that the President is getting 10% right off the top! He's really the one behind MQA. Bob Stuart is just a mouthpiece! | |
| Questions from a noob on digital streaming thelid, The Node 2 is a streamer and DAC with a volume control which allows you to run it direct to your amp but it is not an amp. I believe there is a unit that includes an amp called the Powernode 2.You will download an app called BluOs to your ... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" The easiest way is to get a pair of Martin Logans or other ESL or Planar speaker (I haven’t tried the other ESLs or Planars but I’m assuming they can do this). Mine are not positioned symmetrically within the room or within 1/16th of an inch of th... | |
| It Looks Like Streaming May Be The Future Right gdnrbob, no one is stopping anyone from buying anything, but with streaming you listen on your own system as many times as you want before you buy and you can sample so much more music. The music industry has always had their hands on the th... | |
| It Looks Like Streaming May Be The Future Yeah gdnrbob, being able to listen to all those albums you would never buy and finding that some of them are really good is what has me hooked on streaming. I can try any album without having to pay $10 - $15 for it. If I don't like it, I just d... | |
| Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps shiner, Paul McGowan said he had the same experience and that he couldn't explain it either. | |
| Questions from a noob on digital streaming There is an ad for a Bluesound Node 2 for $375 but the description says the title is a mistake, it is a Node (1). I'm not familiar with the Node but I would get a Node 2. | |
| Questions from a noob on digital streaming The DSjr is a DAC with a built in streamer, the Bridge II. There are other streamer/DAC combos that you may want to consider. I think you need to slow down a little and keep your preamp and amp so that you have a solid reference to judge the sound... | |
| Ayre C-5XE MP, Simaudio Moon Andromeda, or Esoteric K-01X You may want to look into a streamer instead. Streaming through Tidal or Qobuz gives you access to millions of albums many in high-def through the use of MQA. Some people see MQA as an evil capitalist plot, but that hasn't been decided yet. Som... | |
| Martin Logan speakers Here’s what ML says about the Montis’ woofer:" Montis uses an extremely precise 24-bit Vojtko™ DSP engine in conjunction with a powerful 200-watt class-D amplifier to deliver a stunningly detailed low-frequency performance reaching down to 29Hz—un... | |
| Martin Logan speakers I don’t get what people mean when they say the woofer response lags behind the panel so badly. In Stereophile’s review of the Montis the step response of the woofer lags behind the panel by 1.7 milliseconds. This is a greater lag than many cone sp... | |
| Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps Mario, it seems that no preamp is the way to go, but I must tell you that Paul McGowan the owner of PS Audio says that he finds that using a BHK preamp sounds better than not using one. Of course he wants people to buy his preamps, but if you ca... | |
| MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote! Why are so many running around screaming, "The world is ending!!!" so much lately? Right now there are 7.5 million cds available on ebay and there will be many more millions on there as the baby boomers die off or go deaf from listening to loud mu... | |
