Sibilance


Some recordings I hear it, sometimes I don’t. I just listened to "Time" from Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon through BluOS and my Bluesound Node 2i, upgraded CJ PV-10AL, Emotiva XPA-2 Gen3, and Maggie 1.7is. It’s very noticeable to me on "S"s and high hat on that song. Thoughts?

If you're using the Node2i's internal Dac, then I agree with buddyboy. Adding a standalone DAC will improve SQ in every way. A R2R multibit has a more forgiving presentation.


Preamp has isolators not cd player (short of what was provided stock) or Bluesound 2i.

Variations on the hearing happens too. Stress, blood preasure,... can affect female sibiliants, cymbals, high pitch violin sections. Hope will not be the case.
