| Simple question, or is it... Bravo Millercarbon!Too many of us , myself included, are afraid to recognize the miraculous in the mundane or sometimes maybe just too preoccupied with the trivial. | |
| Who buy PS AUDIO ? Thanks to all of you who shared your experience with PS audio, this discussion has gone a long way to restoring my confidence in them. I have never owned any of their equipment but have been considering them among the other options for an upgrade ... | |
| Are you a special snowflake? My dear snowflake we are all special. | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @artemus_5 I did not compare the two side by side. I have been told told by a knowledgeable dealer that upgrading from the Yamaha to the 2i would not be worthwhile. I am am currently looking at the microrendu or ultrarendu as a cost effective a... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @whatsthatbuzzI found this book, "File Based Audio" by Hans Beekhuysen answer a lot of the questions you pose. | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? Artemus_5 I have not a/b'ed the Node and Yamaha but am going on the comments of others.Here is a pretty thoughtful review of the unit, in case you have not come across this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovrS88tddmo&t=497sOne of the things I... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @artemus_5I have not been able to a/b them directly and am going on others comments. However this weekend I listened to an Innuous Zen Mk3 playing on a much more expensive system than mine and I thought OK, but it not that much better. It did not ... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? Artemus_5I am on the same journey. I currently stream with a yamaha wxc-50, which is not mentioned much here but is a very versatile little device with quality on a par with the node 2i for just $350. I have been evaluated all the upgrade options... | |
| Move to the next level @jazzman7 , Thanks for your post on a couple of counts. First it brings me to realize I don't fully understand the exact meaning of the terms server, streamer, bridge and player. So I've got to do some homework. Which of these can access online st... | |
| Move to the next level @artemus_5 , you would think being in NJ I'd have lots of choices but perhaps it has to do with the death of retail but I have found that usually when you get to a dealer they may not have the model I am interested in, making it a "special order" ... | |
| Move to the next level @jbuhl, I studied the Bryston Pi and the other Bryston items. Have you seen this review of the B-pi by Hans Beekhuysen? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4FU1tqZdeUI like him a lot and found it enlightening. But its not the direction I want to go... | |
| Move to the next level @Chilehed, I would love to hear your reflections on your move from the Vault to the Zenith. I am not considering the Bluesound only because I don't perceive it as enough of a step up sound-wise from the Yamaha WXC-50 I currently have, to be worthw... | |
| Move to the next level Artemus, thank you for bringing another contender to my attention. I have not settled in one DAC camp or the other due to inadequate opportunities to actually listen to a variety of DACs. But I currently I am of the opinion, based on reading, that... | |
