| New streamer? N150 vs U2 @txp1 I am one of the people you mentioned who is returning to a Node because of the app. I sold my Node 2i and moved to a miniDSP SHD with the Volumio app/ OS. Volumio was a very bad experience, completely overshadowing any SQ improvement from... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Anybody have issues with getting their Gan 1? I placed an order in early November. At that time they said they'd be shipping in December, but they took my money right away. Having heard nothing I followed up on 12/7. At that point they said th... | |
| VTV D300 Digital amp MiniDSP makes good products, IMHO, but the Flex has a limitation that may rule it out for many. Running Dirac Live the sample rate is limited to 48kHz. Perhaps future iterations of the Flex will improve (the SHD Running Dirac supports 96kHz), bu... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I have been following this thread with interest, especially as I have ordered a Gan1 and expect delivery any day. I appreciate the criticisms and cautions (if not the tone of delivery). I have a healthy respect for the "scientific" approach to a... | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole +1 for Melody Gardot and thanks for the various recommendations. I'll try them out soon. | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? Like okhunter and mahler123 with their Brystens, I have a major user interface disappointment only mine is with miniDSP and Volumio.The hardware (SHD Studio) is fine, but the Volumio os/ui is so frustrating that after a year of trying to get comfo... | |
| Sonus Faber speakers - what's your experience? oddiofyl - coincidentally, I am considering a trade for a pair of Concertinos for a secondary system. They'd be used in an apartment primarily for vocal music, some low key jazz, blues and rock and paired with a Martin Logan sub. I've not heard ... | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? Well, in 1975 I bought a friend's 100 album rock vinyl collection for $10. Paired with a Shure V15-III. Great sound for a pittance. More recently I picked up a Qudelix 5k USB headphone amp/dac/dsp. Shockingly good for $100. | |
| NODE as just a streamer / Airplay device I can recommend the Node2i as an excellent streamer. I did not think much of the dac and bypassed it, but I understand the newer version has an upgraded dac. I replaced it with a miniDsp SHD Studio because I wanted DiracLive dsp. That it does, ... | |
| Newbie seller Yup. Done. Thanks for all the comments. | |
| Newbie seller Update: I've emailed the buyer twice with no response. I guess its safe to assume that it was delivered. It didn't occur to me that the USPS tracking would be so screwed up. Well, thanks to everyone for the comments. | |
| Newbie seller To tell you the truth, I don't feel good in this situation. I've got my money but the buyer is stiffed through no fault of his. If I refund his money I'm the one getting stiffed. | |
| This is good Schiit... There are three black B-stock Yggdrasils for sale on the Schiit web site. Save $100 or so. I too and a frugal mid-fi person. Had a Modi 3/Vali 2 stack for Senn HD650. I wanted to like it but I did not. Despite that experience I am still inte... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy I, too, went down that path. Bluesound Node2i is a fine streamer; great user interface app. I bypassed its dac in favor of the dac in a Cambridge CXA81. This was a major improvement in SQ. So, I would recommend the Bluesound as long as you exp... | |
| Another person going digital and full of questions @mattchanoff - I followed a similar path recently getting into streaming. I started with a Node2i (at the recommendation of Bes at Music Direct). It does have a well-executed user interface and lots of connections. Works well as a streamer. Bu... |
