| Is anyone doing this with a Bluesound Node 2 or other streaming component? For practical reasons I’ve been using my Node 2 sans external DACs (Chord Qute EX and Schiit Bifrost Multibit) for a couple of months now and I must say, I don’t miss either of them. The on-board DAC in the gen 2 Bluesound gear is surprisingly goo... | |
| Suggestions on Better Server Setup than Mac Mini @cdc2 .. many of us have dumped our computers for dedicated streamers. There are some very good options at every price point. IMO a streamer is a more elegant solution. After years with a Mac mini based audio system I bought a Bluesound Node 2. It... | |
| Headphone setup - dual setup w/ speakers I use a Schiit Asgard 2 for headphone duty and it has a preamp out just for this purchase. No doubt there are others. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? A classic (and a favorite) from Dexter Gordon: "One Flight Up". | |
| Best / Cheapest desktop micro-amp? The Audioengine N22 has gotten some great reviews and is class A/B (22 wpc). It was on my radar when I was looking for a "cheap & cheerful" amp. I ended up with the Dayton DTA-120 for my work space and a Fleawatt TPA3116D2 for another listenin... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I would place the monitors on a pair of very short Isoacoustics isolation stands and set the stands on top of the subs.This is exactly what I’ve done since purchasing my Omega Super 3i’s (I have the IsoAcoustics Aperta). Funny, I did this as a wor... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @peterr53 .. seems to me your project, which you have freely shared here in this long-running thread, has become nothing but a disparaging critique of JS and Ohm. While it’s all been fascinating to some degree, I think a separate thread of your ow... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @mapman .. nice to see you're back! | |
| MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region" All the gnashing of teeth over MQA seems much ado about nothing for those of us who have moved past music acquisition and into streaming. For folks who still want to acquire a library of music beyond what they already own, yes, it may be a concern... | |
| MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region" @melm .. have you taken a look at their partners page? Some heavy hitters there including MSB, dCS, and Mytek:http://www.mqa.co.uk/customer/our-partners | |
| MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region" Well, a parlor trick it may be but his conclusion seems to say otherwise:"For now, I’m happily addicted to MQA, Tidal Masters, and the Mytek Brooklyn. Together, this trio delivered more plaisir and jouissance than I’m used to experiencing with str... | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? How would you compare the fleawatt to the APPJ? I enjoy them both to be honest and I think @seikosha sums it up pretty well. Let me add the Fleawatt is perhaps a bit more extended in the highs. Both are very musical little amps. | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? My last 2 purchases have been among my favorite stupid-good buys:APPJ PA0901A - $190Fleawatt Audio TPA3116D2 - $250The sound quality at this price point is just ridiculous. | |
| MMGs Hard to go wrong with the Odyssey Khartago. I used a Cyclops "integrated" (Khartago with volume control) for years with my MMGs and it never broke a sweat. I also used a PS Audio Trio amp (class d) rated 100/200 wpc into 8/4 ohms without issue. Bo... | |
| Going from computer audio to dedicated streamer @mofojo .. congrats on your purchase. I moved from a Mac mini to a Bluesound Node 2 just over a year ago and never looked back. I don't miss any of it. I think the sound quality of the Node 2 is every bit as good, if not better, than the mini. (I ... |
