| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @wsitsw All I use now is the streamer and a LUMIN server that has ripped FLAC files on it. I believe one of my problems is the terminology. Please define streamer and server as used in the sentence?FWIW I will only be playing files from my Hard ... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @uberwaltzI got this idea from Aurender CEO in a interview. He does not let hdd do the playing. OK for storage, but hdd hands off to SSiD for play. Thus the question as to whether the vault has ssid and therefore a better player? https://www.audio... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @lalitk As many of us pointed out, you can get a Vault 2i (if you wish to rip your CD’s) or Node 2i as a start up device and add a DAC later on. I am still on that track. As I have said I am getting tired from the research and have been taking ... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @big_greg. I’ve been as big a skeptic as anyone about audio voodoo and extraordinary claims. Then one day I put my $$$ down ($180 iirc) on an Oyaide power outlet. I felt stupid for spending the $$$. But it proved its worth. I have DIY tweaks which... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @witswWindows. Son tried for years to get me into mac, thus the M4a files for Ipod. Hated Itunes. It took up every resource on my PC. I couldn’t run anything else with it running and I am a RAM man (Always more RAM) @audioguy85I’ve been playing re... | |

| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @electroslacker @djones51Here's what I am trying to decide. I have a hifi shop here in town who services my equipment when needed. They are good & honest and been around for a long time. I've known them for a long time as well. They have bee... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @big_greg Thanks I figured I can rip the cd's I need to on my computer. Theres quite a few but I have 1TB of music already ripped. Now for another questionI've read somewhere that all streamers are not equal in their ability to hand over the 1's... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? Gentlemen, many thanks again for the help/. One clarification I have.I will NOT be using the services of a streaming service, IE Qobuz, etc. I have been collecting FLAC & Apple Lossless for 10 or more years. I probably have at least 1TB in f... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @larry5729Thanks. If I go with the vault I'll have to hard wire it since it doesn't do wireless. My router is about 50 feet from the stereo. So, I'm go into have to run a wire under the house OR get a Wifi range extender. been doing some reading o... | |
| Please suggest a few really good classical recordings About 15 yrs ago, while picking vinyl in a thrift store, I encountered a man who said he had a lot of classical records to sell. I was just getting back into vinyl and so I looked. Long story short, I ended up buying about 800 albums, all classica... | |

Most good car polish , IE Adams, etc have a product which will take out swirl marks. The more swirls, the more work. Some polishes will help fill in a... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @bruce19Have you a//b the Yamaha against the 2i? I’m just curious. The audio shop here in town sells & uses one to demo their speakers (Watkins Gen 4). The music sounds great. He’s been trying to sell me one.Then too, I've read that all stream... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? Wow guys. Thanks very much. This has been a good learning process. I think I will go with a streamer for now. Most have suggested Bluesound Node or Vault 2 or 2i. I have messaged one seller but have not heard back yet. I'll do another. I'm also w... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? OK, Maybe I don't know as much as I thought which.......Do I need to run a network wire from my router to the Streamer? OR Can it run on wireless? I have good enough signal to stream video. I also have 1-3 GB usb hard drive which I can put near st... |
