| International Transit Times Prob hung up in customs. It does happen. I’ve had both good and bad experiences with overseas shipping. Never have I had a loss though. The package has always come through, one way or another. One, coming from Switzerland took 2.5 months. Should h... | |
| Is a cheaper DAC + Reclocker better than just an expensive DAC? Rarely are there any “shortcuts” in this game… | |
| If you’ve heard an iFi Zen stream, anything better under $1k? In that $$ zone, The Node 3rd Gen. Hands down. The Cambridge CXN (V2, not V1) is a good unit as well, twice the cost of the Node though and not nearly as stable. The Node just works. Easy OS interface, never a connectivity problem or otherwise. Es... | |
| Bluesound Node or Audiolab 6000N I doubt there will be much, if any significant changes to the Node this year. Maybe some other lines (power node etc). The Gen 3 Node just released last year. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Prog mood tonight… Radiohead: Amnesiac Porcupine Tree: Fear of a Blank Planet (love this album!) | |
| Is the Apple TV power cord worth upgrading? HDMI, Ethernet? Higher quality HDMI cables do make a difference. Not sure you need to spend thousands. With regard to the power supply, maybe, but I have never tried, nor intend to. I run two Apple TV’s. Regarding PC’s in general, I 100% disagree with the above, ... | |
| Which complete set of cables to try out? I’ve bounced back and forth between Shunyata and Transparent. I could go either way really. They both have a few pluses and minuses, but both very livable. To get into the sweet spot with Transparent you need to go Plus at least or better yet Ultr... | |
| Protecting Equipment from Children @jerrybj wow! So instead of teaching the munchkin some lessons of discipline, or taking a few very simple steps to possibly protect your system, you just binned it? That seems excessive to give up something you love to that degree rather than come... | |
| Recommendations for home audio setup with Mac and NAS Bluesound actually does a decent job at organizing as long as your over all file system is good. What amp are you using? Does it decode DLNA? That’s all you really need to make it happen. Or, use the on board music center and airplay to your syste... | |
| New McIntosh C22 - Upgrade Transparent Balanced Musiclink Plus @woots not the Plus level wires. Transparent doesn’t bias or tweak until Reference level. To the OP… there have been significant upgrades to the transparent line of the 20 years you’ve had yours. I would suggest try your current cables and see wh... | |
| Protecting Equipment from Children Little ones, like puppies, need constant surveillance. It’s just the way it is. Then this cool little two letter word, universally known, works wonders. It’s NO. Firm but not harsh said with authority that conveys the seriousness of the moment. Bo... | |
| Thinking of taking the plunge. I agree Bluesound Node is the best bang for the buck. Simple, overall great app, Roon endpoint. The newest Node’s onboard DAC is better than the 2i’s was. You will get a bit better performance from Node running coax out to a DAC, but overall for t... | |
| WILSON ORIGINAL SOPHIA'S An easier way that completely avoids damage to the drivers is simply remove them. The only caveat there is if the leads are soldered. Not sure if they are or not on the Sofias. Doubt it. It will make the process much simpler and less likely for an... | |
| A Suggestion Regarding Removal Of Posts We, could, get… William, Shatner to, explain why, the various threads, or, posts, get removed! | |
| Which NAS should I choose? I agree, and disagree with the above. If you want a NAS just for music, there are better ways get that done. If, however, you use the NAS for further server applications then it can make more sense. Overall, I’m very happy with my NAS, but straigh... |
