| Streamer upgrade recommendations Thanks, everyone. I'm learning that my attachment to Deezer HIFI is really a limiting factor. There appears to be a lot of compelling streamers out there, but they don't support Deezer HIFI (or they support Deezer, but not 16-bit FLAC).Tidal d... | |
| Integrated amp for Nola Boxers 1- My first system Yamaha A-S801. Great sound and will drive those 8ohm Nola Boxers with ease. Six Moons gave it a very good review a few years ago. The A-S801 also includes a built-in dac, phono, and good headphone jack. The reverse loudness is excellent for d... | |
| Review of Mojo Audio Mystique V3 DAC Congrats on the new DAC, Celtic. I recently purchased a used Mystique V3 that was listed here. It's been in my system for about 2 weeks now. Loving it and I'm hearing similar results in my system to your review.I'm now looking to upgrade my sou... | |
| Streamer upgrade recommendations Thanks, @jonaiken very helpful. The W4S upgrade costs the same amount as the BSN2i, so I was wondering if it could be much better. I'll try it with optimism now.I've done a bit of research on music players, and it appears to me that going that r... | |
| Streamer upgrade recommendations @phidelt496 I was looking at solutions like the Allo and Sonore Microrendu, bust as far as I can tell, I would have to use Airplay, and it doesn't support FLAC. I think Airplay2 might, but not seeing any devices like this that support Airplay2 yet. | |
| Streamer upgrade recommendations Thanks, @tom_hankins Did you ever compare the streaming capabilities of your Auralic Vega V2 to the Node 2i? | |
| Streamer upgrade recommendations Thanks for the idea of putting LPS on modem/router, @steakster . Hadn't considered that. | |
| Does anyone have a Schiit Yggy DAC? My Modi 2 multi-bit is also a single-cup coffee warmer... | |
| A Tidal/Deezer Streamer to augment Oppo 105? I stream Deezer FLAC via a Sonos Connect on both of my systems - both modified by Wyred4Sound (44.1 khz). Very happy with the results. The Sonos app is great, IMO. I also have two of the small Sonos speakers in other rooms, and it's nice to int... | |
| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? I have a 2nd system in a smallish room (10x18) with WharfeDale Denton 80th's (5 inch drivers).Space and aesthetics were constraints for adding a sub in this room, but I ended up buying a small sealed sub by Cambridge Audio - the Minx X301 (8").Lik... | |

| I want to pick up a vintage SS integrated I bought a a Kenwood KA-7100 four years ago for the same reasons you are looking, Nitewulf. I think I paid $120 for it. Except for hitting it with deoxit, I didn't do anything to it. It sounds pretty good - especially for how old it is. I thin... | |
| Which DAC: Benchmark, Mytek, Audio Mirror, Holo Audio, Mojo Audio? Will do. I'll add Holo Spring and the Lab12 to my list (thanks, @headphonedreams - had never heard of that DAC. The reviews can't be ignored, IMO). | |
| Which DAC: Benchmark, Mytek, Audio Mirror, Holo Audio, Mojo Audio? MusicHead. I'm in the same boat, looking for a DAC for <$2500.Right now on my to-audition short list:* Mojo Mystique V2 SE * Metrum Onyx* Chord QutestHappy to share results with you. | |
| Is there a better DAC than the Schiit Bifrost for $300? I have a Modi-2 Multi-bit (Mimby). I think it sounds very good and is great value. Sometimes the highs have a metallic glare, though. A hi-hat can sound like air being released from a tire.From the reviews I've read, it sounds that as you go up... |
