| Adding a turntable to my system @stringreen - I'm finished with upgrades!!!Ever since i upgraded my cables :-) | |
| Adding a turntable to my system @thirsty93 - I’d probably go for the mmf2.3. But that judgement is based on the merits of their 5.3, which is pretty darn good. So the question is - How much less capable is the 2.3?By far the most up-gradable TT (the one with the most after marke... | |
| Experience with Bluesound Node 2 use with external DAC @kalali - have you tried a better power supply on the Dacmagic?I had the original DACmagic prior to my Bifrost and it responded very well when I replaced the power supply. but even with its tweaked power supply, the Bifrost provided better SQ over... | |
| Experience with Bluesound Node 2 use with external DAC Although I have never tried a Musical Fidelity DAC, I did own the v-link192 USB-SPDIF converter, which was superb. Coupled with the Bifrost, it made digital music singIf they put that amount of effort into a USB-SPDIF converter i would have to bel... | |
| Experience with Bluesound Node 2 use with external DAC @randyhat - you would need a pretty good DAC to better the DAC in the Node 2.I had a Schiit Bifrost with the 4490 upgrade. One might think that a $400 external DAC should be better than an all-in-one box. However, the Node 2’s internal DAC+analogu... | |
| Trying to setup new system for digital. Line Magnetic and Double impact speakers @Bobster50 - What you require really depends many things...How much effort do you want to put into getting "superb sound"?- for a very good sounding digital "front end" that streams and comes with an on-board DAC and pretty good analogue stage you... | |
| Adding a turntable to my system Take a look at the Schiit Mani phono stage - it provides for both MM and MC compatibility and has some alternate loading optionsAt $129 - it’s the best bang for the buck right now - and when it’s time to upgrade you can resell it and probably get ... | |
| Dragonfly Red in desktop system - replace with Schiit Bifrost Multibit? @audioneo80 - I’ve owned the Bifrost, but that has since been replaced by a Bluesound Node 2 in my audio system. The SQ is so much better than my v-link192+Bifrost combo and provides a massive 3D imageThe inboard DAC and the Analogue output stage ... | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? WOW!!! - I'm really having feelings of inadequacy !Here's my very meager list - since 1982- Magnat Ribbon 5's (2 Channel) had them for 33 years - re foamed + rebuilt the crossover and tweaked the bass port - B & W - small ones for L/R + Rear +... | |

| Mark Knopfler's Guitar Collection Thanks Erik - after that I’m not sure if I want to go play my guitar - or toss-it :-)There are probably guitar players picking up tips from this video as I typeCheers | |
| Upgrade from Rega Elys 2 @audiosavage1 - Once I replaced the Elys 2 with the Denon DL103, I started thinking of the next mod’I thought maybe adding a one piece harness - it may breath new life into my TT/cartridge. Cost is around $450 - I started with this upgrade and it ... | |
| Upgrade from Rega Elys 2 @audiosavage1 - Can you switch to MC ?If yes then you could try the Denon DL-103 or one of the many versions from people like soundsmith, or Zu - two companies that upgrade the standard 103 for even better performance.If your phono stage does not ... |
