| Aurender Music Server and CD Transport comparison I went to look at the posted system for the OP and didn't find one. It helps to provide as much information as you can about the system you have to get good answers. There will always be ones who give recommendations that don't address the questio... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss Congratulations on finding the DAC that’s right for you. I feel like the selection of DACs now is so great that it’s like getting an Ice cream cone at your local Ice cream place. With so many flavors available, you can pick your favorite one, but ... | |
| Volti Audio owners, is the fire still there? If I ever get that Mega Millions jackpot the Vittora is on my list. Beautiful speakers IMO. | |
| Best Audiophile desktop for under $2500? I walked away from using a computer for my audio recordings- linked to my stereo- long ago. I found that music streamers were designed, engineered and built for hifi or stereo integration and they serve the purpose much better. Having said that... | |
| Mid-Fi, Hi-Fi or.....? “If your happy and your know it, clap your hands..”. I agree with toddsyr and blackbag20. You don’t need any affirmation here. HiFi, MidFi, LowFi is reallly just rubbish. If you are listening to your system, grin on your face, foot is tapping …the... | |
| Thank Heavens For The Internet World Used/ Pre-Owned High End Audio Market!!!! Yes I agree! And if you want to piece together that long gone old hi-fi system you had in the 70s or 80s, ...you can buy it again. Get that old Marantz receiver (change the caps) and the old Dual turntable and hook up some old Klipsch or Bose 901s... | |
| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? There are three questions in your post. Why do I prefer R2R over chip based DACs? Am I not spending enough money? What should be my next upgrade? Not to be rude, but your post is confusing. I really think only you can decide what you like or how... | |
| Add Chord Cutest (DAC) to Bluesound Node or purchase HiFi Rose RS150BDAC IMO. Often audiophiles go looking at what is fresh and pretty, new with glowing reviews. Many of those reviews are paid for. I was curious about the HiFi Rose and bought one. The integration was awful, the GUI was not intuitive and the sound did n... | |
| DAC upgrade Congrats on the new DAC, it’s a very fine unit. | |
| DAC upgrade clhs04 +1 Bluesound originated in 2013, so they have been in the streaming business for over a decade now. They spent a lot of time improving the OS and have a stellar customer service network. They are in it for the long haul and I have had many... | |
| DAC compatibility If you can play MQA files (songs) directly from the Node and compare them to MQA files (songs) sent to the Topping DAC via optical or digital coax and the songs sound better with the Topping I would not stress out about the USB connection. I don’t... | |
| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! Well I am going to answer this question a little differently. I too began my audio journey many years ago but taking a step back and thinking about significant audio equipment it was mostly technology and services.... 1982-first CD player CDP101 ... | |
| DAC upgrade The Bluesound Node sometimes takes a beating here as there are better performing streamers costing double, triple the price and more. I have the Node X paired with a Pontus 12 Anniversary and I really like the sound. Natural, organic with an ease ... | |
| Rythmik or REL Subs to pair with Totem Element Metal V2? +1 soix. I think two REL could also do the trick. I own the F12SE with GR Research drivers myself. But not irritating the neighbors in a condo???? Not sure about that one. Keep it low volume. | |
| Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained? Anyone who has watching Danny Richie from GR-Research has seen first hand that spending more money on audio does NOT ALWAYS equal better performance or even better parts. I think it’s naive to think that it does, but it is a natural inclination t... |
