| Educate me on music streamers, please. Doh! We just cross-posted. Congrats on the Node 2i, @soundchaser. I think it's a very low risk approach. Let us know your thoughts. | |
| Educate me on music streamers, please. DCS Network Bridge: I was looking for the highest level of streaming quality with native Deezer support. The NB gets almost universally good reviews and I got a really good price on a used unit that was local to meI listen to 100% streaming, so... | |
| Educate me on music streamers, please. I've used Deezer for many years. I love the "Flow" feature, and for my tastes, they have a larger selection of artist that I like.I've found these streamers that natively support Deezer:$2000+DCS Network BridgeNAD M50.2SimAudio Moon Mind2Less tha... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO No matter how much I turn it up the music sounds right and never loud. It grows and swells filling the space and I can feel the impact, but it never sounds pushed or “loud”.I totally agree. I'm playing louder than normal (about +10db) as well and... | |
| Improving streaming SQ Lots of options here, IMO. I got good improvements in streaming sq with these changes:Replaced Comcast cable router with a Motorola MG7550Added a DJM Gigafoil v4 ethernet filterRouter to Gigafoil cable: Blue Jeans Cable cat6a ethernet cableGigafo... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO It's now been a little over a week that I've had the EVO. Comparing to the v3, I hear improvements in micro details, timing, texture and cohesion. On their own, each of these traits might be small improvements over the v3 - but as a whole, it sum... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO A review of the Mystique EVO:Audiophillia - Mojo Mystique EVO DACMy EVO arrives this afternoon. I'll post some feedback soon. | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO This is cool and impressive, Grannyring! Congrats.Can you expand on the sound differences vs the stock V3? Can you quantify the uplift in SQ - 10% better?I think the Mystique v3 sounds fantastic, and I can't imagine how it can improve - so this ... | |
| Yamaha A-S801 owners. Did you upgrade? I ended up going with the Kinki Studio EX-M1 and I’ve been very happy.Before discovering the EX-M1, I was looking closely at the A-S2100, but I had some space constraints and that amp was too deep.The AS-801 really has exceptional sound for the pr... | |
| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio @david_ten Thanks for posting that discussion from whatsbest forum. Great info there. I found that my original Comcast modem was on the "bad modem" list for using the Intel Puma chipset. This might confirm some of the issues I was having - and... | |
| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio I use the Powerline 1000’s (three prong) from my router to my streamer. My house is 55 years old, and initially, the Powerlines would only link at less than 50 Mbs (red indicator - I suspect it was actually passing less than 3Mbs) - and I would ge... | |
| MHDT dac...and which streamer/server? Roon: Do you have a lot of music files currently, or plan to buy hi-res files, or rip your current cd's to files? If so, it seems like the Zen Mk3 with Roon would be the way to go, as you would have a common interface/app (Roon) for both local a... | |
| MHDT dac...and which streamer/server? @spiritofmusic I've never seen the Limetree Bridge before. Thanks for sharing. Looks like a good option to dip your toes in the water - but with something potentially above a Node2i. Maybe using a linear power supply with it takes it up a notch... | |
| MHDT dac...and which streamer/server? Another streamer that looks interesting is the Bricasti M5 - $2400 new. There's a positive review here, and the reviewer also provides a link to his review of the DCS Network Bridge. There are a number of Agon members that have posted their impr... | |
| MHDT dac...and which streamer/server? Streaming: There is a used Lumin U1 Mini with the linear power supply mod and included Sbooster LPS on Ebay for $1800. It would be hard to find better at that price - in my opinion.I was going to buy one myself, but then I found a used DCS Netwo... |
