| DAC upgrade clhs04 +1 Bluesound originated in 2013, so they have been in the streaming business for over a decade now. They spent a lot of time improving the OS and have a stellar customer service network. They are in it for the long haul and I have had many... | |
| DAC compatibility If you can play MQA files (songs) directly from the Node and compare them to MQA files (songs) sent to the Topping DAC via optical or digital coax and the songs sound better with the Topping I would not stress out about the USB connection. I don’t... | |
| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! Well I am going to answer this question a little differently. I too began my audio journey many years ago but taking a step back and thinking about significant audio equipment it was mostly technology and services.... 1982-first CD player CDP101 ... | |
| DAC upgrade The Bluesound Node sometimes takes a beating here as there are better performing streamers costing double, triple the price and more. I have the Node X paired with a Pontus 12 Anniversary and I really like the sound. Natural, organic with an ease ... | |
| Rythmik or REL Subs to pair with Totem Element Metal V2? +1 soix. I think two REL could also do the trick. I own the F12SE with GR Research drivers myself. But not irritating the neighbors in a condo???? Not sure about that one. Keep it low volume. | |

Anyone who has watching Danny Richie from GR-Research has seen first hand that spending more money on audio does NOT ALWAYS equal better performance or even better parts.

You guys were a blast and enjoyed the listening sessions immensely. Good sound and great times. I’m drink a Guinness tonight and holding it up to wis... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport While the debate goes on about the sound quality of a basic dvd/cd player against a much more expensive unit like a Shanling, Esoteric or Jay’s Transport I would like to clear up a different misconception. China has many factories, audio companies... | |
| My New Year’s Wish for my fellow audiophiles. You guys are awesome and if I might add, indicative of the positive force in the universe. No one needs to go on “the dark side”. | |
| Bluesound Node settings I have a BS Node X after having 3 other BS products including a Vault 2. I also have the Pontus 12 Anniversary but also decided to add a Teddy Pardo PS to the Node X. Like you I am continually surprised at the quality of the sound. Everyone has to... |
