| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @lalitk If you want to hook up your CDP into a DAC then you would need to pick up a DAC with at least two COAX Inputs Why so? Can’t I use the coax for CDP and USB ior another input for streamer?Thanks For the price of Node 2i, look at this listing... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @djones51Good idea. But I most always jump in the deep end right off. Then I complain a while til I figure it out. LOL | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @uberwaltzI wasn't sure if simplicity might come with Streamer Dac combo? I appreciate simplicity. but I understand the lack of flexibility. IO guess the only real thing to learn is the streaming interface. And I'd have to learn it no matter which... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @crn3371 @lalitk Can I use the Bluesound Node 2i as a streamer only with another DAC?What are other lower cost streamers ie Node 2i? Seems that I have looked mostly at the DAC portion of the equation. | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? Thanks for all the input. Its very helpful. So, it looks like I should go with separates which makes sense. I think maybe I don’t understand some of the terminology used by the mfgs. Though somewhat new to streaming high quality music, I do have 3... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? BTW Many of the streamers/ Dacs in my list have a 30 day $$$ back warranty (if bought new) Obviously not when used. I'd still considered used thoughAnother concern is to have a digital coax out so as to hook my CDP into. Also, I only have 134 inch... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @photomaxThanks. My system is listed here on Agon. Pictures need update to show the tube amp, new CJ CT5 pre and the 2 sumiko subs. I'm always ready to buy used in good shape, especially when entering an arena. I don't want the forever DAC right n... | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? @arionGood info which enforces my thoughts. However the idea of stressing the monitors is something I hadn't thought about. And that stress will show up sooner or later. Yes, new room....I hope. although I was a builder/carpenter, I am 69 yrs old ... | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? @newbee It does give you a better respect for the Silverline's abilities. | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? @soix Yess, I think I'll hold on to the Silverlines for the time. If the room comes into fruition It will take my $$$.@b_limo The problem with Salk is that they are power hungry. These are 84db and require 100wpc. My amp is 35wpc. I've had good so... | |
| You could work for any manufacturer, past or present... @erik_squires I meant no offense with my post. It did catch me off guard. It's just an aspect I would never have considered. Doesn't make it wrong though. It may have expanded my view if anything. | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? OH, BTW to everyone else. I have a pair of Infinity RS-1 which I plugged into the system. Since I have the 2 subs, I figured it may give me an idea concerning my question. So I took the Silverline Sonatas our of the path and put the RS-1 in. I wa... | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? @b_limo The upshot may be that I build a room for me. I was going to do that 10 or so years ago. Now, maybe I can do that albeit a little smaller than the one from then. This will expand my office into a nice size music room 11 x 21 (will be the g... | |
| You could work for any manufacturer, past or present... Wow!! Talk about feeling out of place. I never have wanted to build electronics nor work with anyone who did. I respect them and their work. But my focus is solely on the music itself. For me, music is not a hobby but a lifestyle. I love listening... | |
| Just curious — Crown xls 5202 amplifier Still, I would think a lot of guys would want that kind of power for such a low price). And that one myth has probably been the downfall of many systems. In the "golden days" (whenever that was 60'-70's )high powered amps were not readily avail... |
