| First DAC: Metrum-MHDT-Rega-or? I'm in a similar boat, thinking about adding a DAC to the Bluesound Node 2 in my bedroom. I can use the DAC in my Oppo 105D, but would like something that doesn't involve turning on the TV and having to change inputs on the Oppo (yes, I'm THAT la... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Utopia - Oops! Wrong Planet. I found a nice promo copy at the record store today. It sounds really good so far. | |
| Budget Music Streamer Not sure if I see value in the aftermarket digital streamers like Auralic Aries or Node2. First I plan on using an external DAC and secondly they all use Airplay which down samples to 44.1kHz. So where's the value unless you are using Hi-Res s... | |
| Budget Music Streamer I've been really happy with my BlueSound Node 2. I have 2 of them. I'm using one with my Auralic Vega DAC and I have the other connected to my Oppo 105D so that I can use its DAC if I want. You might consider that option. Since the introductio... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Space Art - Play Back Sounds a bit like a mashup of Kraftwerk and Vangelis, heavy on the Kraftwerk. | |

| Brand New Warped albums! I buy records from multiple sources and have seen a number of warped records. I had two copies of Amused to Death show up warped before I finally got a flat one. I had a seller tell me this when both discs of my Weezer red album showed up warped... | |

| FM vs. HD RADIO.... anybody think FM is better? I don't know that I've ever listened to a "good" HD receiver, but my Onkyo T9090 II connected to a roof antenna sounds really good on certain stations, close to CD quality. All of the HD radio I've heard had a very "digital" sound to it. I live ... | |
| Wireless to Ethernet Adapter for DAC I can't say it's as good as a wired connection, but I've been perfectly happy using wireless access points and repeaters for streaming all over my house. The WAPs are in my living room and my home office, the repeater is in my bedroom, which is o... | |
| Best Headphones $150? I would suggest bumping your budget up 50 dollars and get the Sennheiser HD 6XX from Massdrop. The current drop is about to end. The AKG 7XX is also very good at $200, but I like the HD 6XX better. It's very comfortable and easy to listen to. I ha... |
