| Potential upgrade path… Let us know how it goes, best of luck to you | |
| Potential upgrade path… backdoor, you wrote "Vthokie the room is actually carpeted. Pretty plush carpet actually. Knowing that and also that this room is really not that small (18x24) would you change your recommendation in any way?" (1) Since your listening room is not... | |
| Potential upgrade path… Backdoor, there is a lot of great information here. In looking at the pictures, am I correct that the floor is tile or treated concrete? If that is the case, I'd do the following. (1) Get a nice thick wool area rug that fits the space, and get a ... | |
| Pontus ii and Hi Res Probably no worth it….mine is 4 feet away | |
| USB yet again I was perfectly satisfied with my Node 130 using USB to my Denafrips Pontus II DAC. Started reading threads like this, and after checking with Alvin Chee at Vinshine, I decided to add a Denafrips Iris DDC between the Node and Pontus. The Iris opt... | |
| Pontus ii and Hi Res Chocoholic, Now if you really want to up the ante, use Ethernet directly to the Node from your switch and only use BlueOS for control…..or leave it the hell alone if you’re happy. Unfortunately I don’t understand that philosophy | |
| Pontus ii and Hi Res chocaholic, That wouldn't be my choice, I'd switch to Qobuz and keep what you have in place. The Node will pass up to 24/192 via USB The DAC in the Node is fine, and much improved in the Node 130, but NOWHERE near the quality of the Pontus II an... | |
| Pontus ii and Hi Res I think rockrider and dinosore are going in the correct direction.....I however only use Qobuz, so I can't confirm. My equipment Node 130 USB to Denafrrips Iris DDC, I2S to Pontus II DAC. Here is an excerpt I found: "The way MQA describes their c... | |
| DAC league table lousisejpp, What is your price point? There are great options from $1,000 to $20,000 depending on your equipment and budgest | |
| Power conditioner vs use of a audio grade outlet? + 1 Audiophile1 Furutech GTX-D Oyaide and PS Audio make some very good ones as well, but I've settled on the Furutech for now | |
| Thought I’d share: Nicely done and practical DAC review As a Denafrips Pontus II owner, his review is pretty darn close to my experience.....though adding a DDC (Denafrips Iris) took the soundstage and texture to an extra level | |
| Denafrips 12 anniversary oddofyl, Which Denafrips DAC do you own that micro skips? | |
| LS50 + Sub Or Floorstander? If you like the sonic signature, why not demo the LS60 and see if they are to your liking? They are stunning to look at, and are getting some pretty great reviews | |
| Do Streamer only devices really impact sound quality? I have (and love) a BlueSound Node 130. It has a great interface, and is easy and intuitive to use. For a while I thought about upgrading, but instead went with a DDC (Denafrips Iris DDC). It isolates the signal galvanically and optically, so the ... | |
| Newbie want to improve what I have Wow, I wish that was my starter system.....but many people are correct, system matching is critical but I don't know your components Only 2 suggestions: (1) Get some room treatments, others know way more about that than I do. But, a heavy area ru... |
