| Is the BluOS getting worse? I find that when my device can't find my Vault it is simply on the wrong network. May be the case with mesh. You need to make sure the phone or tab is on the same network as the streamer. | |
| DON:T WAIT! Replace Those Old Power Tubes! I agree with Elliott. I test all tubes before they go in my gear for shorts and Gm. Even then it's no guarantee. I bought a tester and few years ago when I started playing with rectifiers and DHT tubes . It wasn't cheap but it saved me from ... | |
| Which company manufactures this Ethernet switch for the other? Pretty amazing the stream goes through all of those channels and circuits and you get music on the other end. | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out Glad you are enjoying your system. I've had Quicksilver Mid Monos since 2015 and they have been great. I also bought the QS Headphone Amp a few years ago . Great stuff. | |
| DAC If you like your system just get a streamer like the Bluesound Node. $299 - $999 depending on model. If you want an excellent streamer that also has digital inputs and can be used as a DAC look at an Aurender A1000. $3500 So many choices now,... | |
| What were your favorite gear additions in 2024? Some nice gear in this thread. ... i should add a great accessory, Sofabaton X1S Remote. | |
| Streamer Recommendations Moon 280d is a nice DAC. Enjoy | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 Spend $2000 on Innuos or used Aurender , Eversolo support is non existent... one year warranty and it's a boat anchor if something happens outside that period. DSP functionality limits bit rate to 24/48. These units are way over hyped. Wa... | |
| What were your favorite gear additions in 2024? I'm really enjoying my Teac VRDS 701t Transport. | |
| Streamer apps critical I have a Bluesound Vault 2i in my second system and an Aurender N200 in my main system. Both have been great, the Aurender is 4x more money but the build quality and support are top notch. The Vault has been pretty much flawless in the 6 year... | |
| Streamer apps critical Eversolo App isn't bad but their support is non existent. If a FW updates is bad there is no recourse other than rolling back FW which is a pain and then turning off auto update. Now you are stuck at that level until there is a fix. 6 months w... | |
| Streamer apps critical You're right , Bluesound is a great platform . Cyrus is using it in their XR and 40 series streamers. | |
| Everything matters I added a LHY SW 6 and OCK2 along witha Mutec MC3+ USB and it definitely improved the digital side of my system. | |
| Streamer Recommendations Eversolo support is non existent. You are screwed if there is a FW bug. The fix is reverting to the previous FW and turn off auto updates. Essentially you are stuck at that FW level if they don't correct it. Not a good value at $4k. | |
| Qobuz Activation failed on bluos Nice. Let us know how you like the Icon. I have had a Vault 2i for years and it's been great. Icon looks like a great streamer. |
