| Sony Hapz1es or blue sound....... Bluesound sounds great. I haven't heard the Sony. | |
| WiFi System Upgrades I find that with about every other Bluesound OS update, I have to reboot the whole system, which involve unplugging the Ethernet source from the router, unplugging my Vault 2, Node, and Pulse Mini and re starting them, occasionally more than once.... | |
| Apple TV and Sound Quality I only have ATV 2, which sonically from what I have read here and elsewhere, is islimited compared to ATV 3. Still, in your setup, the weak link is the wifi to ATV. I would replace the ATV with a dedicated audio component such as the Bluesound N... | |
| Conversion to DSD: Does It Eliminate Digital Glare? I heartily agree with Eric's last paragraph. The best DACs are now improving redbook to levels that we previously hadn't thought possible | |
| Conversion to DSD: Does It Eliminate Digital Glare? After living with the Mytek Manhatten for a few months now, I do think that an improved Dac helps----with glare. Note, seventies, that the mytek features the same chip as the Oppo 105, but the implementation is worlds apart--so it just in't the c... | |
| NEED HELP WITH DAC UPGRADE I have the Mytek Manhatten and can confirm that the DAC makes a heck of an upgrade. | |
| FLAC On A Mac not every download site offers ALAC or AIFF. Some only offer FLAC, as reading the posts in this thread would have revealed to you | |
| Music Server format? Just read the Crutchfield reviews about Bluesound. I only saw 1 bad one and am guessing that person received a defective unit. Nothing is perfect but I think it is a high quality product that takes the PC out of the picture | |
| Music Server format? You can get a dedicated music server that will your CDs and take the PC out of the equation. Then you will not have to worry about mastering a playback software program such as Roon, J River, etc.. I use the Bluesound Vault 2. It costs around $1... | |
| The demise of the music CD inevitable? Disc rot is nonsense. My earliest CDs from the mid 80s all play just fine. Vinyl rot--that's a different story. | |
| Looking for SACD player............ Marantz players tend to roll off the top end.Denon is coming out with a new SACD player. I'd wait for that | |
| Bryston BDA-3 Thanks neko that was interesting. There seems to be an issue with a loud 'pop' at the end of tracks played in DSD. | |
| FLAC On A Mac sbankI took the Oppo data from their web site, which mentioned playing WAV and didn't mention playing AIFF. In my experience when a component doesn't mention compatibility with a format that means it won't play that format. I am glad to be corre... | |
| Bryston BDA-3 Thanks, Bill K. Unfortunately neither reviewer comments on the HDMI input | |
| FLAC On A Mac XLD works today without me having to do the above.In the interim, I added a monitor to the system. I have an Oppo 105 in the system but it was for audio only. With the monitor added I can now play flac files from it's usb inputs, so now I don't ... |
