thanks yes I looked up ACRO 10000T. Nice machine. I wish it had a remote where I could change the friendly preset channels while I stream which is what I love about the Bluesound node.
Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions
Yes, I have the latest addition to the Bluesound node, I guess third generation, prior to the most recent anniversary X addition. I know they have improved the inner DACS with each version but now I’m asking what would be some thing better in your opinion and one that is in the ballpark.
I have Cornwall Heritage IV speakers, and I am currently running a NAD C 316BEE amp( which pairs well with Klipsch 102 db) at 40 WPC. In the winter my Mancave is heated by a tube Cary SLI-80, UL /Triode 4/8 OHMS.
either way, I love the ability of the Bluesound node to be my preamp and facilitating my Apple Airplay 2 and the eArc into the TV/CD. Mancave is treated, speakers and me complete a 6’ triangle.

It’s a slight change of the way you think, but you’d use mini-XLR to XLR cables frkm your listening position to the amp. You control everything from the CA1000T. Slightly pre-owned, you can find them for 50% off. They are also Roon Ready. I became a Roon convert, and after a few weeks, I’ll never go back. another alternative would be the Eversolo DMP-A6. I don’t have one, but over heard incredible things from a gaggle of people. good luck in your audio journey! |
Hey moose89...thanks for the topic.
I'm PC sourced to a pro-gear digital preamp...cross-over internally to my active Rythmic L12 servo subwoofer and monitors. My best friend has a big rig with an $18K Lampizator. We share the same audio "flavors." I'm never sad to come home to my rig. "Clarity & neutrality" is how I would define the DAC... Focusrite Clarett+ 4Pre USB-C Audio Interface | Sweetwater My highly skilled west coast Sound Tech and I finetune carefully applied DSP (to 1/100th of a db.) For the "non-believers" trust, any harm from DSP is greatly outmatched by the sonic benefits in my dedicated studio. Tip of the Day...clean all connections every 6 months, remembering to flip your main incoming power at the incoming panel...and, the pins on your tubes, with exacto knife.
More Peace! (bold print for old eyes) Pin |
