| Using Oppo 205 instead of per amp processor I know this is an old thread but I have been using my Oppo 205 as a preamp/Dac from day one. I run it direct to the power amp and run a sub off it and also used powered speakers for surround, works awesome. | |
| Bluesound I am having the same issue with my Bluesound Node streaming Qobuz. I keep getting lost connection, request timed out, or could not load content messages and the player hits a brick wall and has to be unplugged and rebooted. The tech support at B... | |
| Bluesound Node Icon I too was considering the upgrade to the Node Icon but it seems they use the same app and operating system for all their streamers. I have owned a standard Node for two years and it has been given me grief with lost connections, request timed out... | |
| Streamer + DAC help: Bluesound vs Eversolo (vs Others) I have a Bluesound Node and am constantly have issues with a dropped connection even though it is a wired Ethernet connection. Don’t think I would buy another Bluesound. | |
| an upgrade from HSU-VTF-3 MKII.. So that being said do you still have the HSU sub or did you get something else? I have a HSU VTF15H mk2 and not planning any upgrades anytime soon, very happy with it. | |
| Maggie LRS vs .7 I have a pair of the original LRS running with a sub. I have never compared them to .7s but was thinking to upgrade too. I like the Maggi sound but don’t see the point of just getting the next model up in the series, personally I think I will spr... | |
| Poorer sound stage and bass impact, Focal Scala Utopia Evo vs Focal Sopra N3??? I have heard both speakers this past summer at a retailer. They are both amazing speakers and have a very similar signature sound. It’s a tough call but I think I would go for the Sopra 3 and spend the extra $15-$20k saved on upgrading other compo... | |
| Wrapping power cords and interconnects with copper foil. Where would you even get copper foil? Aluminum foil is common but not copper. | |
| Sony or Panasonic 4K Player vs. Magnetar or Reavon Universal Player I don’t have any complaints about SACD playback quality with my Oppo 205. | |
| Single Sub Position Right behind my listening position works best for me. Can keep it turned down enough to not muddy up the sound of the main speakers but still feel the thump in my back. | |
| Sony or Panasonic 4K Player vs. Magnetar or Reavon Universal Player I have the Oppo 205 and for me it’s not leaving anytime soon, unless it quits and can’t be repaired. If I did have to get another player I would most likely go for the Magnetar. The Oppo has far more digital inputs than the Magnetar and they both ... | |
| Magnetar UDP900 vs Oppo 205 There are a few reviews online. | |
| Magnapan LRS+ VS .7 I am currently driving my LRS with a Peachtree Gan 400, drives them no problem and I am quite satisfied with the sound. As someone else mentioned, the LRS are indeed a gateway drug. Thinking of upgrading to the new 2.7i. I believe Peachtree has d... | |
| Magnapan LRS+ VS .7 Anyone who says the LRS is a poor sounding speaker likely has never heard them set up properly. Yes you do need a good high current amp to drive them and the further away from the wall you can place them the better. Set up properly with a good a... | |
| Oppo 205 with Parasound JC-1s Why don’t you just run the 205 to the amps direct with the balanced XLR connection? That’s what I do, no preamp, my 205 is the dac and preamp, works great. I am also driving Magnepan LRS with Peachtree Gan 400 amp. Running my sub and powered surro... |
