| 2-3k budget - adding DAC/Server to Bluesound Node? If you only want to listen to Tidal/Amazon, and you already have a Node, buying the Vault doesnt make sense. The Vault does 3 things: 1) Rips and stores CDs 2) acts as a streamer for services such as Tidal/Amazon, Internet Radio, or the aforemen... | |
| Marantz SACD 30n USB (not USB-DAC) input I am wondering what happened with the OP issue, and also whether the above comment is from a dealer | |
| Streaming Qobuz via iPad Do you have an Ethernet option on the Marantz? If so I would try that, even if it means running a cable for some distance from the router, just to see if that solves the problem. If it does then continue to go wired or zoom in on the WiFi as the... | |
| 16 bit is good enough..... I have plenty of higher resolution recordings that sound better than their standard resolution versions, but this isn't always the case. I just purchased Sokilov's DG album of Schubert and Haydn and am pressed to tell the difference between the B... | |
| How did you get started in this hobby I always have wanted good sound. I new that my parents all in one $39 KMart Special was crap but had never heard an alternative. In college scrimped for that first system and was so proud of it but then at the end of Undergrad had a friend get a... | |
| Best Brandenburg Concerto recording CD Btw, the link cited is from 2013, and I remember reading it several years ago. A few years ago I spent some time researching what Ristenpart recordings were available digitally, and there was virtually nothing | |
| Best Brandenburg Concerto recording CD The Ristenpart was my introduction to This music, and I miss it dearly as I don’t do analog, but objectively I probably have at least half a dozen versions that best it | |
| Quality of recording Most material released in the 50s and sixties was mixed with assumption that listeners would be listening to AM radio in their cars or a transistor radio. Most of the pop from this era actually doesn’t sound right to me when it is played back on ... | |
| How Audiphiles are Different I would add that I am always struck by difference between my gear preferences and my musician friends. I have a few friends that are fairly prominent Classical Musicians and they could care less about playback equipment. I’ve always thought that... | |
| Marantz SA-KI Ruby vs Denon DCS-A110 Anniversary Edition I am out of town for the Holiday and staying with relatives. There is an audio store a few minutes from my relatives and I stopped in yesterday and was starting to listen to the new Denon when after 5 minutes I was called away for a family emerge... | |

| What covid research can teach us about audio measurements. The article cited by the OP discusses using MRI to visually observe Xenon labeled gases diffuse across the alveolar membrane. It's cool but not a breakthrough. We have been able to measure the same paramater for decades; Diffusion Capacity is a ... | |
| Education: Best place for Audio Engineering? We have a family member who got a Masters from Berklee in Boston in this area and he has been steadily employed in the five years since | |
| What covid research can teach us about audio measurements. I am not understanding the OP point here. How does a preliminary study measuring changes in alveolar diffusing capacity post Covid relate to audio measurements? | |
| Old guy needs recommendation request for old CD players / DAC If you already have both of these players, can’t you just do your own comparisons and decide? |
