Just got a new Bluesound Node. Very disappointed!
So where did my thinking go wrong with this thing. I always assumed to use it as a transport for the digital signal from the BNS and never use it’s internal DAC. So as long as the data file is “true” shouldn’t the SQ be determined by my outboard D...

I’ve tried different interconnects - sound is a weee bit better, I’ve also switched between toslink and coax digital outs. No difference. weirdly enough if I airplay to the BN the highs are dialed down but you lose resolution.   it’s almost lik...

I checked the eq buts it’s off. Tried it but the must lost dynamics.

I actually have the Bluesound on order. Currently I run the Marantz but it goes into NAD M51 DAC. The sound is great from what I can tell.

Yeah, I ended up going with Mconnect HD(Bubble for IO). Works like a charm, no more Airplay, I get full resolution. I went with Qobuz because I kept reading it was better than Tidal I was using. I didn’t realize AirPlay was the issue. My streamin...

I have the ND8006. I think I should be using the HEOS (marantz) app. But is doesnt appear to have Qobuz

Also forgot to mention that while listening to the music while using the Qobuz app and looking around in the app, music glitches more. the weird thing is, while the song is playing, if you look at the songs progress bar, the music data appears to...

Thank you for the responses. sfar, can you elaborate?   btw, I should have added this originally; I use Tidal as well and it doesn’t glitch, However it used  to glitch the same as I am currently glitching with Qubuz when I selected hi-res musi... 
JC3+ phono preamp
I have a JC3+. Dead quiet and sounds wonderful. Do you have another receiver or preamp to check against?

Look for a used Parasound A21.  Drove my 2.4’s with ease.  
Looking for a tube Preamp new or used for under $2000...
I have a BAT VK 3Ix pre I use with my A21, and yes, it works wonderfully. But I believe this concept would work well with most SS amps, unless they are overly warm. But even then . . .

My mistake I thought it was a tube amp. I agree if it’s bright stay AWAY. been there done that.

Well this isn’t a direct answer, but I use a ARC Classic 60 to run my Thiel CS 2.4’s with ease, I use the 4 ohm tap and it sound great.I know the 3.6’s are notoriously difficult to drive, but ARC gear just works on mine.be warned, you may need to ... 
Setting bias on a vintage ARC
I’ve ordered new large caps. I will change these. I did this for my Classic 60. Really easy. Visually the other caps look ok, but that’s no guarantee I know. I intend to call ARC today.  
Setting bias on a vintage ARC
Not yet on calling ARC. I’ve check the bias on my CLASSIC 60 but it didn’t require adjustment. I did download the manual and checked the bias adjustment procedure, but it’s not clear other than to say to set an “average” bias of 37.5 and the numbe...
