| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! @smrex13 Although, I'm not using an external DAC, there was a discussion on audiogon a few months ago along the same lines ...https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/kef-ls50-wireless-internal-vs-external-dac | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! A few more observations after listening to the speakers for the last 3 - 4 days ....Pros:1. Vocals, jazz, light/soft rock sounds amazing. There is a certain fullness in the sound that I was missing before. Last night, I had listened to them for ov... | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! So today my kid, who has some sensory issues, decided to poke his finger into the front of the speaker. Almost punctured the area between the foam and the tweeter. I was able to straighten a part of it but there’s still a crease on the left side. ... | |
| Harbeth M30.1 vs B&W CM10 s2 For the moment, I have decided not to get the M30.1. As others have mentioned, the SHL5+ might be a better match for what I am looking for. Unfortunately, there's no way to audition at the moment. AFAIK, there are no Harbeth dealers near me, and I... | |
| Harbeth M30.1 vs B&W CM10 s2 I want to thank everyone for the wonderful advice.So today I went to the seller’s house for an audition. As expected, the sound was very transparent and airy. I could tell that the mid’s were miles better than the B&Ws. No contest there.Howeve... | |
| Apple Airport Express and Cambridge Audio DAC issue @hifiman5 Sorry, I should have been more clear. Yes, I do have an Airport Extreme serving as the base station. The AE is already configured to extend the signal. Other than the issue with streaming music, it's working fine otherwise. So connectiv... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini I wish some company would make a great streamer without a DAC, and pass on the savings to the customer. | |
| Goldenear Triton 1 vs Goldenear reference speakers. Finally a GE speaker that looks as great as it sounds. That was one sock worth losing. | |
| Budget Streamer for Tidal/no doc What a coincidence. I just posted similar thoughts on a good streamer with no DAC. I bet both Bluesound Node and Aries Mini could be half the price if they get rid of the DAC. Alternatively, they can build another model sans the DAC. | |
| How good is Blue Sound Node 2 in WiFi vs Ethernet connection vs external CD player? @wtf Sorry just saw your reply. I guess I should just get one and try it out. Magnolia Design Center carries this brand, so I can always return it if not completely satisfied.On a secondary thought, I wish someone can build a quality streamer wit... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters bo1972 - First of all I would like to thank you for posting such great, informative messages here. There are times when I have to read your posts at least thrice to fully comprehend the dimensions. At first I used to read them only twice, but then... | |
| How good is Blue Sound Node 2 in WiFi vs Ethernet connection vs external CD player? @wtf Assuming that you've done an A/B comparison between Apple TV and Node 2 in the same system, what aspects of the sound improved with the Node? There are not too many people who have used both the ATV and Node in the same system, so I'd be ver... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters I don't think it's just the Wilsons. There's a lot of hatred for B&W as well. | |
| How good is Blue Sound Node 2 in WiFi vs Ethernet connection vs external CD player? I find myself asking the same question regarding the Node, or any streamer for that matter. If you already have a decent DAC that you're satisfied with, why would a Node be better than an Apple TV or Airport Express, or any cheap streamer (Roku, e... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables I received my HC power cord (blue) yesterday, and immediately swapped it with the stock cord (Parasound A21). So, first things first .....I placed the order on Tuesday. Bob shipped it out the same day, and I received it on Thursday. Now that’s som... |
