| Sub Integration @jrpnde .. like you, I have 2 ported subs in my 2-channel system and use an ICBM-1. The ICBM-1 is a great component and you should be able to tame the subs boominess with it. I agree with @chrisr and would start by setting your crossover to 60Hz a... | |
| What is your favorite budget audio component? +1 on the MMGs and the Schiit gear. My headphone rig is a Schiit stack consisting of the Asgard 2, Bifrost Multibit, and the new Loki. All budget-friendly bargains. | |
| IsoAcoustics speaker isolation stands...Thoughts I use their Aperta stands under my monitors. They work great. | |
| What is your favorite budget audio component? If we keep it under $1000/component:APPJ PA0901A ($189) - this miniature SET integrated amp (3.5 wpc) is a marvel at it's price point. Price/performance is off the charts.Bluesound Node 2 ($499) - this streamer does so much right it supplanted my ... | |
| What's the Best Bluetooth Streaming Receiver w Dac under $500? The PS Audio Sprout might be a nice choice:http://www.psaudio.com/products/sprout/#tab-features I've not heard it but it's gotten great reviews. It's not a streamer per se but Bluetooth is built-in. You could always add a Chromecast Audio ($35) fo... | |
| The Moody Blues - "Seventh Sojourn" Thanks for the heads up mapman. I've seen many bands over the years but, regretfully, never saw The Moody Blues. | |
| Looking for a good DAC under $500 I think you’d be hard pressed to find a DAC in that price range which would out-perform the DAC built into the Node 2. That being said, the Bifrost Multibit ($599) would be one to consider. I have one and think it’s a toss-up so, I removed it from... | |
| Shiit Loki I purchased one about a month or so ago and I concur with wolf_garcia. I tried it with both my headphone system and the main system and found it equally effective, but it will remain in my headphone system where I now find it indispensable. A grea... | |
| Am I an Audiophile, a music lover-or both? +1 @james1969 .. perfectly articulated. | |
| Do you listen mainly to Audiophile CDs and records? No, not at all. The great majority of my time listening to music is very casual. I stream music from internet radio, Pandora, and Amazon Music all at very un-audiophile quality (it's great for discovery!). For more critical listening I have a nice... | |
| Lee Morgan Documentary Thank you for this! | |
| Optical Toslink cable quality? Is there a difference? When it comes to Toslink there are many (including me) who use glass instead of plastic for a more accurate and realistic sound. I’ve used Lifatec cables for years and remain very happy with their products. Their cables are reasonably priced for t... | |
| Help with PCM, 96khz/24bit, 176.4khz/24bit FLAC, DSD, Double DSD, Quad DSD, MQA, WAV, etc Hey guys .. just want to point out "uncompressed flac" (via dBpoweramp) has been around for a while now. This option is not "0 compression" btw. Basically, it’s a wav file with metadata. I switched from aiff after years of metadata issues (mostly ... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 as DAC for CD player? @kalali .. I connect the ATV3 to the optical-in as mentioned of course. This makes the Node 2 AirPlay "compatible" in a bastardized way. It's more for my convenience really but I do use it. | |
| Bluesound Node 2 as DAC for CD player? I don’t know for sure, but if the Node 2 has a Toslink/3.5mm input, there is probably a way to select it for playback. Why else would it be there?The "Optical Input" or "Analog Input" option is only seen on the main screen once the appropriate cab... |
