| Difference between Bluesound Node, Node 2, Node 2i, NodeX I upgraded the stock power cord on my Node2 to a Nordost Purple Flare which fits without any adapter. (Digital outputs to DAC: ADI Dac-FS for my main system.) | |
| Sound Quality of Cables Used With Bluesound Node I prefer my Wireworld Supernova 6 optical over my coax DH-Labs D75 from my Node to my RME AD-2 DAC. | |
| Listening to open-backed headphones and speakers simultaneously? Caught myself listening simultaneously, and enjoying it. Adds width to the sound field. I remembered this post. My set up: Desktop speakers: Monsoon MM-2000. Headphones: Hifiman Ananda. RME AD-2 DAC used as dac and as amp for both my headphones &a... | |
| Newbie HiFi Headphone & Amp pairing suggestions Sorry that I am only getting back to you now. The Brooklyn Bridge is certainly a great unit; I hope that you enjoy it. ( To be clear, I use my RME as a dac and preamp. My amp is a tube WA-6. ) | |
| Newbie HiFi Headphone & Amp pairing suggestions I use the RME ADI-2 DAC. Aside from its DAC, it can be used as a preamp. It has a headphone amplifier. A giant killer, it comes with a remote, various filters, switchable crossfeed, loudness, and EQ. | |

The HD6xx is dynamic and oh s... | |

I really enjoy classical music on my desktop Monsoon MM-2000 planars and sub-woofer. I have the desktop planars spread 6 feet apart. (The other 80% of my listening is to ... | |
| External DAC connection for Bluesound Node 2i (after "Another streaming newbie" thread) I first used a Peachtree Novapre as a DAC and preamp. Improvement over the built in Bluesound DAC. .Smoother. More dynamic.I since upgarded to a RME ADI-2 DAC FS. More air and definition. I use a Wireworld Supernova 7 Toslink cable.. | |

| Best Headphone system under $1000??? Continued...Expect to pay around $500 for a used WA6 1st gen. (The newer 2nd gen. will not accept 6SN7's even with the necessary adapters. But you may be fine anyway.) You will need around $200 plus, for the adapters and tube upgrades. One nice th... | |
| Best Headphone system under $1000??? I made the switch to headphones a year ago and haven't looked back. The musical signature of a good headphone system is that you enveloped by sound. Traditional speaker systems are characterized as the listener is sitting in the first rows, or the... | |
| So now that Tidal MQA can be decoded on my Android.... I can try. | |

If there's music files in the external HDD or USB Stick, we'll automatically index ... | |
