Bluesound installed DAC - music killer?

Absolute sound article.  Not much about bluesound dac.

i am comparing bs dac to the marantz 5014 avr.  And that may be not be so good as well.

Will have a lot more to say after new dac arrives, tomorrow.

@three_easy_payments the old Sonos connect for just 250,-? Does everything the bluesound does but is just a little bit less premium finish.

 I haven't looked at the Sonos platform in some time but I didn't think it supported hi-res audio.  I could be wrong but if I'm not that's a massive difference.

Like @jmphotography I too bought a chord qutest.... Can't recommend enough. As he said the most musical presentation I have heard. Also did an upgrade on the bluesound 2i with new board and power supply. So good that it trumped my linn klimax streamer that I sold it which paid for the bluesound and upgrade and qutest twice over. 

Interesting TAS take.  MQA is a proprietary format not distinguishable in the real world. Of course it can't be compared to DSD cuz it don't play on the BluSound. All I know for sure is that the BluSound sounds much better on a better DAC. Common sense. And if you're gonna do that just spend a lil more and get a Pro-Ject S2 Ultra. It plays DSD and every other file type you have without the crappy BluOS persistent queue.

fuzztones, what are you referring to when you mention "the crappy BluOS persistent queue."?
