| Point of higher priced streamer? I have a node 2(not the i), it does have a internal dac that works but connecting the node2 to a schiit YGGDRASIL sounds much better, why because the DAC design is better. In this system the node2 is connected via wire, not through wifi, same IP ... | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? I have used bluesound node 2(not i) for years, never upgraded to the 2i because I use an external DAC. node 2 has always been hard wired and controlled with IOS devices and I have never had any connection or issue with it. I would add that the b... | |
| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k Mcintosh C1100, its Mc's the top of line dual chassis, dual mono config, amazing quiet. | |
| Tube Dac ? so here is at little info relating to a DAC with a tube output stage:Dynamic range is the difference in volume between the quietest and the loudest passage, commonly measured in decibels (dB).Since 1-bit = 6dB:16-bit Red Book CDs have a dynamic ra... | |
| Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i? so here is at little info relating to a DAC with a tube output stage:Dynamic range is the difference in volume between the quietest and the loudest passage, commonly measured in decibels (dB).Since 1-bit = 6dB:16-bit Red Book CDs have a dynamic ra... | |
| Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i? I use a Node 2 and as suggested multiple times in this thread connect it to an external higher end dac, in my case a Schiit YGGDRASIL. What ever DAC you chose to go with make sure its upgrade-able. | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? I had a MC452 connected to Magnepan 3.7s then 20.7s. It had a bias issue so my dealer loaned me a pair of 601’s which I compaired to a Sanders Magtech, the Magtech totally outperformed the 452 and the 601s, much deeper and solid base, like adding... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? GeoffKait,I’m only quoting the advice you give everyone on this site, to reverse the direction of their wires because they will hear a difference. You never considered that many of use balanced cables and there is no way to do that after the cable... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Geofkait, how would one reverse the direction of a balanced cable? the ends are different, should i send them back to the company who made them and have the wire direction reversed? Assuming they would not laugh at me how would they prove that t... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Geoffkait, prove it to us that wire is directional! Just cause you say its so does NOT make it a reality. You ever try and ask your power company to correct the direction of the wires connecting your house to the local transformer? Interesting ... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Directional wire, wire break-in devices and overpriced aftermarket power cords. | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? Burmester 909s or 911s on anything | |
| Integrated Amp ideas for Dynaudio Special 40's I’m curious as to the source components those of you who had Wyred power? I’m not saying Wyred is not as you describe however my system does sound very good. My source is Tidal via Bluesound Node 2 (not 2i) through a Schiit Yggi with the analog ... | |
| Integrated Amp ideas for Dynaudio Special 40's I use a Wyred STI-1000 v2 with my Contour 20s, this gives the 20’s >700 w/channel which more than enough. |
