Job Integrated Amp.
Jaaptina,Just got my INT this week. Popped the cover and it is definitely different. You'll note in your pic, the analog input cabling goes directly into the digital board near the back panel. On mine, those analog cables run all the way to the pr... 
Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers?
To the OP's opening question.... don't know if you can actually define a "best". Line up every audio nerd that is an A'Gon member and you'll get as many different answers as there are people on that list. What sounds correct and accurate to you, i... 
Job Integrated Amp.
I asked about a version identifier or serial number cut-off but didn't get an answer. Drop a note to their support email and you should hear back from them, they're pretty good about answering. 
Job Integrated Amp.
Double checked with Job and everything shipping does indeed do pure analog, no ADC any longer.... So what the heck, I took the plunge! Should have the INT on the way. 
Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini
Celo,I've found that the Aries Mini does seem to sound better, more detailed and more extended. My guess is that it's due to advances in network chips and clocking causing fewer errors and better data throughput. The SBT was a cool product that Lo... 
Job Integrated Amp.
Hello folks,Realize I'm late to this conversation, but feel compelled to shake the tree a little bit. :) I've been trying lots of different electronics the past couple of years and have given serious thought to the Job INT. Looks like a pretty coo... 
Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini
Hmmmmm... in audio streaming, it is not a one way street. USB protocol is USB protocol and there's just as much error correction that happens whether it's music or a Microsoft Office document. Computers don't know the difference. Now, if you're ta... 
Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini
Really like the Auralic after using it for a while. I was using a Squeezebox Touch before and it just seems that the Auralic does a better job, probably due to newer technology wireless and data transfer components internally, and I do like the Li... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper Interconnect
JW,Thanks for the post! Always fun to chat with folks. On the subject of the Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper, I STILL have them throughout my system. Only place I don't have them is between my turntable and phono pre, and amp to speakers; the phono i... 
Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini
Was able to pick up an Auralic Aries Mini for an exceptional price. Does exactly what I was looking for and the Lightning DS interface works exceptionally well. Had a couple of hiccups with initial setup, but that was not due to the Aries Mini, it... 
Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini
Great info folks, and many thanks for the comments on the direct comparison. Not sure I would understand the mechanism of one sounding better than the other via their digital outputs and not their DAC's, unless one actually has some sort of anomal... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper Interconnect
So, haven't checked this thread for quite some time, but just thought I'd let it be known... I STILL have all Absolute Copper in my system. And that has been through a number of changes over the years. No other component has been with me as long a... 
Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini
Thanks to all for the great feedback. Seems my initial thought was correct in that either may be a good choice, might just come down to which I can get the best deal on! :) Sounds like both have decent control apps.On the subject of "just using a ... 
Best integrated amp ? Great match for AZ Adagio?
I've had my Adagios running with an Ayre AX7e for sometime now and it is an excellent match. The reality is that Acoustic Zen's are pretty easy to drive and present a very linear load so they'll respond well to just about any amp you want to drive... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Adagio Speaker
Hi Larry,I'll contact you separately, but allow me this; what you will find with the Adagio's more than almost any other speaker, is one that plays MUSIC! The only other speakers that I've ever run across, and listened to, that come close are Harb...
