| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? You won't get a consensus on the importance of the streamer. IMO the DAC matters more but in your case you're also dealing with a server could be a computer, NAS, or a streamer/ server like the vault. Just have your music shared and the Node2i can... | |
| Visiting audio stores? There was, not a group exactly but a cohort, a number of otherwise unrelated people who had but one thing in common, an utter and complete inability to comprehend. Anything.There ya go, that sums up this administration in a nutshell. | |
| Articles You Feel Should be Shared Another good article from sound on sound. CDs in the early days the 1980s certainly sounded harsh and cold to me but as time and tech has improved so has my medium. I no longer listen to vinyl or tape and haven’t for about 20 years. A lot of this ... | |

| Sony HAP-ZIES HDD player is it only 16bit 320kbps native playback ?
