What is with the arrogant, denigrating response to what is a valid question. Yes, we all know that a mere home theater setup is beneath your lofty and self-centered standards, but why not just ignore the question? Personally, I want good sound reg... 
DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....
Alvin,Thanks for the response. Bluesound does not have that option, but Tidal does. Let me explore a bit and see what I can do. Regardless, I can use the MQA output from the Node 2 for my headphones and the Ares for CD quality and as a replacement...

Platter mat insanity
I will preface this post with the disclaimer that I am NOT an engineer and do not have a vast knowledge of the dynamics of a stylus in a groove going around in circles. However, I can't help thinking that this is somehow analogous to salmon fishin... 
Cover songs that are better than the originals.
Very hard to remake Beatles songs, but Joe Cocker's "Help from my friends" is a masterpiece. I have always believed that a cover should add something to the original and Cocker's version turns the song 180 degrees. 
Can't we all just get along?
The term, social media, is a misnomer. These days it is actually anti-social media. Just because you have anonymity is no reason to be rude. A good rule of thumb is to never type anything that you wouldn't have the courage to say face to face. Mus...
