| Streamers under $1500 Actually that is a good point. What DAC are you currently using? | |
| Streamers under $1500 I will have to chime in again. Although I don’t have any direct experience with the Cambridge Audio streaming solution, I did recommend the CA integrated to a friend. He can bluetooth to it and use a hard wired usb from his iPAD. I sold him a pair... | |
| Streamers under $1500 I still have and enjoy my Wyred4 Sonos in office system Yep I got an ancient ZP90 W4S moded unit on a secondary system as a ROON endpoint. Picked up a used Nordhost Purple Flare Power cord and Audioquest Carbon digital interconnect for it yea... | |
| Streamers under $1500 The Airlense needs some type of streaming server like ROON ,DLNA (e.g.Adirvana) ,Tidal Connect. Bryston BDP-2 can be found for <$1k, BDP-3 for ~$1.8K But I doubt your gonna like the software interface as its purdy spartan. Que the Blue Sound ... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? I just purchased some entry level power cords from PS Audio for my sources and pre. Upgraded the receptacle and then sourced good parts and assemble my own amplifier Power Cord. I didn’t even try to figure out if it made a difference. If you have ... | |
| How to get AirPlay into my older system. I also have an older ZP90 that would probably work for you but you would need to use the S1 app to control it, which is still available BTW. | |

| New SS Integrated vs fix Krell 400xi I dont know how the Hegel matches up with your Totems but I demo’d the little Hegel Rost in my system with a pair of Focal 926s and was impressed enough that if I ever move to an integrated Hegel will be at the top of the list. I would describe th... | |
| How to get AirPlay into my older system. Have you tried using any of the other Sonos Ports to see if they drop out on your main system? I have older ZP90s that I use in secondary systems that I picked up off craiglist for like $50 each. | |

| Speakers, floor standing or Bookshelfs I have been wondering the same. Got 150W now with two full range towers and a RELT9x. Room is 12 X 24 roughly I been wondering if a couple of Dynaudio Heritage Specials with the REL would be enough. Image and staging would be the goal. The... | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs I'm thinking my budget is around $1500-$2000usd BDP-3 on USAM for just shy of $2K. | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs The Bryston BDP-3 can function as a Squeeze Slave and has AES/EBU and S/PDIF out. I have the Bryston BDP-Pi functioning as a ROON endpoint and it works great for that , small footprint as well. I have never tried the Squeeze... BDP-3 also has ... | |
| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations I owned a pair of Quad S-5 that I ran head to head with my Focal 926s. The thing that impressed me the most was about the S-5 was the imaging. But I ultimately kept the Focals and sold the S-5. After some time my listening became more refined a... | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? Some stories: Walked into a friends house one day and he was keeping his granddaughters cat. Cat freaked as I walked in , bounce off the wall and landed right on top of the speaker, flopped onto the end table and broke a figurine. I bought a ... |
