Qobuz vs Tidal
I think Qobuz sounds a tiny bit better.  If I am going to play something and it's available on both I go for Qobuz.  I subscribe to both I'm sort of locked in with tidal since I've been there so long but for me 150 a year is worth it to get better... 
Jazz is not Blues and Blues is not Jazz.......
I have had the same thought before and wondered why they get lumped together.  I agree two totally different vibes.  When I think of what I like about jazz it's the core concept of it.  When I think about what I don't like about blues it's the cor... 
JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies?
to all you 4367 experts.  I am thinking of getting a pair.  I am not going to be able to audition so it's a leap of faith.  I have Kef Blade 2 and also Klipsch Forte III.  I'm liking the Forte III with a First Watt J2 amp (30 watts) Not like the b... 
Old vs New, an experience with Dynaudio.
Fun and funny read.  Old Dynaudio is a thick and warm sound to my ears.  I've had many Dynaudio speakers and I really like their house sound.  Seem like they have gone for a more transparent top end and lost some of the warmth.  It's such a fine l... 
Any advantage to Bluesound Node 2i Versus Streaming from PC
Roon is a deep dive if you take it.  I was frustrated at first with it but am so glad I stuck it out.  I can't imagine life without it.  It's the most important piece in my system.  Seems like many are confused by how it works.  Roon is the softwa... 
Any advantage to Bluesound Node 2i Versus Streaming from PC
I assume you have the TDAI 1120?  Its all setup to receive roon RAAT via wifi so basically you could run the roon software on your windows machine and then send the signal over your network.  You don't need the node 2i it's just redundant if your ... 
Any advantage to Bluesound Node 2i Versus Streaming from PC
The main draw with Roon is the awesome user interface as well as the sound quality is better than say iTunes.  You would have to run the roon core software on a computer then from there you can send to your DAC as a RAAT (Roon Advanced Audio Trans... 
Any advantage to Bluesound Node 2i Versus Streaming from PC
The Lyngdorf would be a Roon endpoint not the core.  The core software has to run on a computer or ideally a dedicated computer like the Roon Nuclues or others that serve sole purpose of running the Roon software. Personally I think Roon is essent... 
~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought
S2000cr has the right advice, scanning through this I was thinking the same thing.  If you are sold on keeping your Krell then I would look only at speakers that match well with that type of sound and power.  You can't have it all, I love the high... 
DCS DACs vs each other
OK thanks for the info I did a little research and ordered a Pure 2.  If this works out I'll have saved a bundle.  Thanks for the advice 
dCS Rossini Owners - sonic differences with and without the clock
I bought a Rossini and clock together.  I first only hooked up the DAC and was floored by the sound so much that I just didn't even bother with the clock and figured I'd get accustomed and then the clock would be a nice upgrade later.  I went from... 
DCS DACs vs each other
Antelope looks really interesting.  I had a Grace 905 which is a similar type idea as the Antelope.  Never heard Antelope.  The Rossini was leaps and bounds better than the Grace 905.  I like the price of the 384 and also the AD features are reall... 
ARE DCS Dacs worth the high cost?
About a year ago I took a leap and bought the DCS Rossini and clock after reading many many reviews and thinking long and hard.  My first evening listening all I could think is guys have no idea what they are missing.  I've tried many sub 10K DACs... 
Anyone had a Sony PS-2251 turntable
would this table and a share sme 3009 tonearm be a good buy in this day and age or is a person better off with a newer design that is in the 1000 range?  
LS50 Wireless fail, or is old gear that good?
Kef LS50W is practically worthless without an outboard streamer such as the Bluesound node 2i.  Constantly dropping out via their own wifi.  Dynaudio Xeo is a great comparison to the LS50W and surprising they don't get talked about more.  I like t...
