| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio I have a silly question ... I am running an ethernet cable from my router to my Apple TV that is connected to my 2 channel stereo amplifier. Now I have my headphone rig on the other side of the same room where the Bluesound Node 2 is acting as the... | |
| Meze EMPYREAN + Benchmark DAC3B + Benchmark HPA4 @yyzsantabarbara I'm really happy that you're enjoying the headphones. Hopefully once some used ones show up in the market, I will be able to pick them up. Right now, I'm really enjoying both my Focal Clears and Hifiman Aryas. | |
| Help me pick a stream with DAC Okay, so this is what I’m thinking now ...I ran an ethernet cable (CAT6) along the wall, snuck underneath my carpet and attached to the Bluesound Node 2i. To be very honest, I don’t hear any improvement but maybe Bluesound is not revealing enough ... | |
| Worth upgrading from Mytek Brooklyn to Mytek Brooklyn Bridge? @edcyn -- thank you for the detailed response. Since I will be streaming 90% of the time using Qobuz, brightness is definitely a concern. I guess I'm more sensitive to brightness than most. But it's good to know that you have found something you r... | |
| Worth upgrading from Mytek Brooklyn to Mytek Brooklyn Bridge? @edcyn I'm also seriously considering the Brooklyn Bridge. How are you liking it so far? Does it really lean toward the bright side of things? | |
| Help me pick a stream with DAC I'm getting ethernet installed in my study next week, so hopefully that will open up more possibilities. But still I would prefer a unit with wifi capability for the added flexibility just in case.I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Mytek Broo... | |
| Sennheiser/drop 6xx plus amp? Congratulations on your purchase. The HD6XX are a true steal at this price. Unlike many other cans in this price bracket, these puppies will scale up with higher end equipment. Each time I moved up the headphone amp ladder, the HD6XXs responded in... | |
| Help me pick a stream with DAC Teac NT-505 sounds interesting and I like the price too! Has anyone compared it to Mytek Brooklyn Bridge which is almost 40% more expensive than Teac? Let me do my research on Teac and MiniDSP. In the meantime, please feel free to suggest other al... | |
| Can I use the Tidal app for streaming with node 2 without Bluesound app? Unfortunately, as djones51 mentioned, it is not possible to stream to Node2 directly from Tidal's native app. Same issue with Amazon. If you don't like the BlueOS interface, you can try Roon. It is an additional $10 per month but the features and ... | |
| Help me pick a stream with DAC Sorry about the title ... it should have said 'streamer', not 'stream', lol! | |
| Can I use the Tidal app for streaming with node 2 without Bluesound app? @agosto I don't think you are necessarily required to use the Bluetooth function on the Bluesound controller app on your iPad to listen to Tidal. This is what I did and it works well for me ...In the Bluesound app on your iPad, go to the main menu... | |
| Qobuz Studio Premier subscription available in USA & UK but not in rest of Europe I recently subscribed to Qobuz, still in the free first month period. For some reason, I’m finding the SQ to be better than Tidal. The music is less edgy, a bit more fuller and refined sounding compared to Tidal. Is it just my imagination, or are ... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present My comment about the Tektons was supposed to be tongue in cheek. I guess I should have put a smiley face icon since that seems to be a recurring theme on this thread 😛 | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present Tekton Double Impacts ... something to do with beauty and beholder or something along those lines! | |
| KEF LS50W who has them? @so-al ... I had the same issue and it turned out to be my old router. Got a Nest Wifi and the LS50Ws have been rock solid since then. |
