I echo the previous statements, I have a vinyl based setup, but I also had over 400 CD's, I looked around at various options. In the end based upon user feedback I purchased an older Vault 1 with 2TB h/d. I had to run a 100ft ethernet cable from the router in the kitchen to the music room upstairs, I ripped all the CD's (then sold them in one go). The BS app is good but in the end I went with Roon and a 3 month free subscription to Tidal - because they had the 'Masters' - MQA. I still primarily listen to vinyl (listening to D'Angelo - Black Messiah as i type this). But having Tidal and all my CD's at my fingertips is extremely convenient when working etc. I can also stream to other rooms in the house via apply airplay and to a Klipsch G17 - when i want good portable sound.
Bluesound Vault 2 VS Mac or PC audio
Hello Guys,
I'm looking for advise and information from you all in regards to which is the best direction to go with my sound system. I'm pretty sure I will be purchasing a Bluesound Vault 2 next weekend but I am second guessing my decision. The place I buy my hifi equipment from loves these things. I've heard and read pros and cons and now i'm confused. I don't want to be steered to buy something because is puts a bunch of $$$ in the hifi shops pocket. I also don't want to buy something if I'm not 100% positive it's what I want or if there's a better way to do things. If I purchase the Vault 2, I would be able to rip and store cd's or downloads along with stream Hi-Res music. Would I be better off doing this same thing with a Mac or PC computer? Would I get the same sound quality? Not so much concerned about the built in DAC because I'm using an external one. Any info or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
