No need to divorce. The system will be used primarily for parties when critical listening is nill. At smaller gatherings I can stil use my system with a CD. The Wadia 850x was not upgrated and has a glass fiber optical that is not specified as FO or At&T. It also has aes/ebu xlr as well as bnc and toslink. I am just wondering if the system will sound like some of the pathetic sonus setups I hear at parties.
Keep wife happy with Bluesound Vault with Ipad?
After many years of audio bliss using Vadia 850x, Vac 30/30 MK2 and audio physics virgo speakers my wife requests that I integrate this primary system and secondary home theater into an Ipad controlled whole house music venue. I am considering using the BLUESOUND Vault and multiple Nodes to accoplish this task. I would use the amplified vault with the entire cd collection in a room currently without music with a pair of speakers. Utilizing the optical conection I would feed my primary system using a Bluesound Node into the Wadia DAC and another node into home theater receiver. Any concerns or comments regarding this type of setup would be appreciated. The Vault costs 1k and each Node $500. What would you recomend for the glass optical cable into the Wadia. In the owners manual Wadia recomends using their brand of optical cable but this was 15-20 years ago and I am not sure they still manufacture them. Thank you in advance.
