| PS Audio "AirLens" streamer coming soon? i2S output from a streamer is a huge plus as i have a Denafrips Pontus II. Curious also about Mercury Streamer V2 and Holo. | |
| Steamer upgrade? Follow up follow up Just wish that all of these emphatic and exuberant users of those $6k+ steamer-only products would kindly describe what they experienced after they bought and installed such a coveted piece of gear. I know what I heard when I bought and installed... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. I think I found the solution...for me: PS Audio AirLens. Will give it a try and report back...;-) | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @thyname : No, not at all. I'm just looking for objecticity and your resposnse only confirms my main objection: You cant describe the sonic benefits and instead collapse under the weight of your own convictions in your more expensive choice. T... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. I certainly WOULD give it a try but I need WiFi connection and have a perfect 800mb connection. Lumin, aurender, auralic all require direct Ethernet and that would be a pain as I have a 120 yo home with thick brick walls. can aurender do wifi? | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. I know you can’t imagine what you have not experienced…..but, I’m waiting for any professional, reviewer, hobbyist or other to objectively define just how and why a $6k streamer only can yield better results other than other the mantra: Trust us, ... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. Ahem….the OP has had his new toy for 24 hrs….the infatuation phase. Y’all are lapping up a giddy reaction like it was some new Stereophile Class A Recommended product. $6K for just a streamer head? You effing kidding me? FWIW, I took a 5V ... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Dynaudio Heritage Special Strong recommendation for Belles amps and Dynaudio. The Virtuoso and Aria Dual Mono are in your range. I use a Belles Aria Signature to drive my Dyn Heritage Specials. Love it. | |
| Amp & Pre or Integrated for Dynaudio Heritage Special I have a pair of Dyn Heritage Specials (and Special 40s). I use a Belles Aria Signature and think it sounds great. Have an LTA Z40+ coming in on rial in 3 weeks, so we will see. | |
| Comments on NODE 3 Power Supply Upgrade I have a Node "3" with a Teddy Pardo LPS and think it sounds great. Better soundstage, music separation and a more sophisticated presentation overall. And I use an external DAC (Denafrips Pontus II). Same as when a took that sme TD LPS and put ... | |
| BluSound Node and Node 2 I had a Node 2i and now have a Node (130). Have external DACs. BS is great. i added a Teddy Pardo LPS last year and i think made BS even better. Love the app, love widi connectivity, love airplay, love Bluetooth for frirnds when they come over.... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks Do you have an old home? You may have some "DC offset" issues with your AC. Emotiva makes a CMX-2 (?) at around $150 and it fixes it. Amps with toroidal transformers tend to pick it up more. | |
| Dynaudio Evoke 20 Spend around $200-$500 more and get a used pair of Special 40's. Evoke 20s not well-received overall outside of home theater. | |
| Bluesound 2i coaxial output sound quality 1. No 2. Yes | |
| Can a digital cable have different connectors? Get a digital cable that is BNC on one end and RCA on the other. DH Labs Silversonic makes a good one. you can also get an RCA/BNC adapter and try it. no issues at all |
