We have two Bluesound devices, a Node, and the new Icon. I'd suggest either to friends after using the older Node for a few years now, both using the internal DAC and a variety of external DACs as well. Now using the Icon and its internal DAC to my system via XLR and Pure Direct on my pre amp. I could spend more, but have not found a reason to do such a thing.
Streamer + DAC help: Bluesound vs Eversolo (vs Others)
All - my budget is uh, flexible. Up to $5K USD. I bought the hifi rose 150B but since it has way too many bugs, I am returning it.
What is your experience look like with Bluesound, Eversolo and other brands in a similar price point? I can’t audition so I am looking to see what others have to say (if possible, as compared to the hifi rose 150b).
(1) how is the hardware? (2) interface on the hardware? (3) app? (4) sound quality?
the rose 150b had GREAT SQ but the constant interruptions in playback was such a downer.
what other brands can i consider?
i am weary about spending $5K without demo-ing (it’s messed up, i know) but that is my budget. of course if there is a consensus about SQ at a lower price point, then i don’t even have to go to $5K.
I know, this sounds weird. But the experience with rose was traumatic. I don’t want to put any dealer through any kind of “troubleshoot with me” and “return it” ordeal again :(
thank you all in advance
