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 ... | |
Sopra N°2 RACOF, System dependent for sure. I have a very good CD player and killer Integrated 700i. I listen to many of the songs you mentioned and the Sopra 2’s sound great. Enjoying Don’t tell me you love me right now. My Yggy Dac does a great job on 80... | |
Unfiltered NOS DACs sound Absolutely love my Schiit Yggdrasil A2. Has put digital listening on par with vinyl, still different but as enjoyable. Have also experienced great benefit from upgraded power cord for the Yggy. | |
Low cost WiFi streamer : Google Chromcast Audio v/s Audioengine B1 I have used the B1 for years and it works great and sounds very good. I stream from my IPad to the B1 to Yggdrasil to Sim 700i. I also use a basic optical cable, the B1’s own dac is pretty good, but nothing like the Yggy. My audiophile friends are... | |
Sopra 2 soundstage height I too would like to hear about experience with removing the tweeter grill. I also have the 700i (killer synergy). Have now fed all digital sourcing into the Yggy A2, perfect match with Sim/Sopra combination. Also the TWL AD power cable on the Yggy... | |
Power Cable for Yggdrasil DAC Thanks for the responses everyone. The TWL DAPC is performing really well with the Yggy. It’s a keeper. Now looking at getting the TWL HPDA PC for my Simaudio 700i Integrated amp. Planning on it delivering like the DA did with the Yggy. | |
Power Cable for Yggdrasil DAC @mooglieThanks for your in-depth response, very helpful information. | |
What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000? A $4000 BNC cable, really? I so want to think this reasonable on some level but cannot in my world. | |
Looking for great jazz guitar recordings - any recommendations? Lee Ritenour, Wes Bound. Amazing tribute to Wes Montgomery, top shelf production and he can really cover the Wes material, with respect and authority. Not an easy task.Ron Affif trio, Mark Whitfield True Blue, Jimmy Bruno with Joey Defrancesco, Li... | |
R2R Dac choices. Plus one on the Schiit Yggie, have had mine for 2 weeks now, honestly never thought I would enjoy digital sources as much as I do with the Yggie. Radio Paradise FLAC sounds amazing through the Yggie. | |
Radio Paradise Free @canibefrank, totally agree, something different going on there. | |
Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW I had a 45 minute demo this week with DAW’s, through some McIntosh gear. On both digital and vinyl the speakers were really good. Had about 400 hours on them, they were being broken in for Frankie Sullivan of Survivor. He has good taste. They deli... |
