| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER @hifiman hope you enjoyed Laura Mvula. Just discovered Alice Fredenham, Under the Covers album. It’s very good, thought you might find it of interest, covers a lot of styles and recorded very well. | |

| Will adding an external DAC to my setup improve SQ significantly? Looks like you may have 3 Dacs in your system already, the BS node, the Peachtree and the Oppo. I have the Node 2i and it is a strong Dac. It compares well with my Yggdrasil Dac, and performs to a higher level in my Reference system. Also does a f... | |
| MQA? I have a system that’s very resolving and detailed. MQA is noticeably different from my digital through my Yggdrasil. To me MQA is a different flavor that’s very enjoyable. In my setup I find MQA to be a bit laid back, a bit more spacious (kinder,... | |
| Cocktail Audio's New and latest X50pro Audiophile Music Streamer/server...Any Love? Was not aware the X50 had no DAC. The X50 replaced the X40, can’t understand why CA would upgrade the 40 and eliminate a good DAC. | |
| Cocktail Audio's New and latest X50pro Audiophile Music Streamer/server...Any Love? I can only speak to the X40. It rips and plays cd’s. There are many features and it performs them all well. Also it has a very good sounding DAC. So I would assume the X50 would be on level and most likely a better DAC. | |
| Cocktail Audio's New and latest X50pro Audiophile Music Streamer/server...Any Love? Hey @pinkfloyd2 how is the X50 doing with Mc gear. I have had the X40 for many years, still sounds great and integrates with the rest of my system very nicely. | |

| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER @hifiman5 Glad you are enjoying Rumer, when I want to show off the system for any visiting females, it never fails. Another you may not know is Laura Mvula, her first album Sing to the moon is killer. Also big fan of Chrissie McVie, such a delicat... | |
| Power cord recommendation for a dac? +1 on TWL cables. | |
| Bluesound Node 2i , Azur 851n or ... You can connect an external hard drive to the a/o input on the back of the node2i which then allows you to access the hard drive through the BluOS app, via an iPad etc. The cables and adapters are included in the Node box. The tracks then play thr... | |
| Bluesound Node 2i , Azur 851n or ... I have had the Node 2i for a couple weeks. Mainly for Tidal MQA. It sounds very good with good cabling and a good system. Performs best in my main system, but also sounds very good in my secondary system. BlueOS navigates well and it also sounds g... | |
| MQA Stream into non MQA DAC Thanks big Greg, very interesting, I have a Schiit Yggdrasil, I’m thinking the BS Node 2i would work well with the Yggy for Tidal MQA streaming, I’m already paying for the hifi option. | |
| MQA Stream into non MQA DAC Many thanks for responses. Learn something new every day. Interesting view that MQA is a solution searching for a problem. MQA filtering also concerns me as it alters the original source, which I would to avoid. | |
| Difference between Bluesound Node 2i and Cambridge CXN v2 Any opinions on BS node 2i into Yggdrasil Dac. Especially with Tidal MQA, would the node 2i unfold MQA to a partial level since the Yggy is not MQA compatible? I read somewhere there would be a partial unfolding (higher res than red book) on MQA ... |
