| Another streaming newbie Greg, yeah, hip hop isn't down the middle of the plate for me! But so far, everything except one obscure album (Ry Cooder soundtrack Paris, Texas) that i have looked for, I have found on Tidal. But the MQA is the question and it drives hardward t... | |
| Another streaming newbie @bajaed The trick is to hold on tight to your budget! So many attractive options that get pricey in a hurry. I am already thinking about options well past my $2k... | |
| Another streaming newbie Oh... qobuz. Never heard of it until this thread. I will look into it. And I never imagined maybe having more than one streaming service! I am old! | |
| Another streaming newbie Greg, thanks a lot - seriously - for your input (and everyone else - that a person can go online and get thoughtful discussion re all of this still is incredible to me). Yeah, the vinyl - well, on some albums, it's still just dead quiet; I clean... | |

| Another streaming newbie So here’s what I am hearing. I should just start with the Node 2i. Maybe that’ll be good enough for my system/ears, maybe it won’t. If not, I’ll have a decision: which streaming service (MQA, no MQA) I can test that out a little with node as some ... | |
| Another streaming newbie Ok, one more comment/question. So you can sort think of streaming as possibly two things. There's the 'player' - like a CD transport - that sends the digital output to the DAC. So the front end is mainly about connecting to the internet, the mus... | |
| Another streaming newbie PS: if someone thinks, oh man, if you'd just spend (fill in a reasonable amount) it'll be a major leap forward, I'd like to know what this is, too. It's only money. | |
| Another streaming newbie Thx, guys. Question. This stuff is still confusing to me. How does something like Bluesound node2 and Chord Qutest work together? What does each do? Would the node be sort of like the front end (get and manage the streaming) and the Chord do the a... |
