| Suggest affordable cable options Thanks for the great ideas everyone. To be honest, given the variety and breadth of the advice, I’m even more confused now, ha!Based on what I read, here’s what I took away:1. Higher price does not necessarily equate to better performance.2. Buyin... | |
| Suggest affordable cable options thanks tbromgard ... how would you compare these to Audioquest Rocket 88 (they are selling for around $400 used)?A friend of mine had bought anti-cables but was not too impressed and ended up buying something else. Of course, this doesn't mean the... | |
| First Hand Experience? I had it for a few weeks. Didn't care much for it . Too warm, missing details - at least in my system. I replaced it with Parasound A23, which was much cheaper. I preferred it over the Rotel. It had better resolution, and more balanced over all. ... | |
| Modern Jazz (as in recent) Music Suggestions Thanks, guys. Really appreciate the suggestions. For now, I'm trying to see which of the recommended artists are available on Tidal. Unfortunately, Jerome Sabbaugh, as well as Brad Mehdaul, are not there, so I might order the CD later. I did liste... | |
| Can a apple airport express be part of a audiophile system? mahler123, I'm currently using Apple TV which is probably even worse than AE due to sampling issues. I'm looking very closely at the Bluesound Node 2, so would really appreciate it if you can expand on exactly how the "Bluesound wipes the floor so... | |

| I2S, S/PDIF, Toslink connections Interesting thread. I am currently connecting my Apple TV to my DAC (Cambridge Audio Azur 851 D) via toslink. I was advised that this was a better route than coax. I'm thinking of replacing the Apple TV with a Bluesound Node 2. Based on the opinio... | |
| Tidal 60 day free trial The link is only for premium. Anything for hifi? | |
| Servers: Are we there yet? No but I’m in the process of buying a Node. I’ve spent considerable time picking the brains of a very competent audio engineer who works at the Magnolia Design Center. He assures me that an Internet connection (via your ISP) is not required for th... | |
| Servers: Are we there yet? Ok so I guess you are using the terms Internet and home network interchangeably? I still stand by my assertion that you don't need the Internet to use the Vault or the Node unless you use spotify or tidal | |
| Servers: Are we there yet? I don't agree. The Vault has to be connected to the internet only to download album art for the locally stored files, or play music from cloud service providers such as Spotify or Tidal. Even if you're sharing files within your network, you don't ... | |
| Servers: Are we there yet? @oblgny I'm in the market for a Node 2 (don't care about the Vault). Apart from the fact that you didn't like the idea of leaving your computer on all the time, did you have any other issues with the Node? How would you rate the SQ compared to st... | |
