| With my new L.K.S DAC, How to Set up Hi Fi Digitial library , play and streaming Wired would be my preference. You probably will want a renderer, the usual suspects are Bluesound, Bryston, Auralic, Aurender, Lumin, etc. Least expensive quality option would be the Bluesound Node 2i. If you ultimately would like to improve the... | |
| Upgrade A/V Receiver or get 5 Ch. Amp I have the 520 and it runs a pair of hard to drive Silverline Minuets with ease. It’s got enough power for your setup. I would stop worrying about that. In the unlikely even that you were to find otherwise, it’s relatively to buy a decent secon... | |
| Bluetooth headphones: are there any? I am pretty happy with B&W phones, but I have the older non noise canceling version, so I then added the Sony’s, which are excellent noise cancelers and decent phones to boot. The B&W are more comfortable. | |
| Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more Does it have to be a one box solution? A PC that could be configured as a Roon Endpoint feeding a preamp -DAC wold father bill. | |
| Newbie questions - Seeking a streamer with the right features - I'm confused! +1 with 2psyopAirPlay May also work for you, if the remote speakers are Apple Home Pods | |

| Bluesound Node 2i Question OPclear as mud, huh? Both of the above responses are correct, even though they seem contradictory. Are you using Wi Fi, or Ethernet?And are you using Bluetooth or Airplay? | |
| Have New L.K.S. HM-DA9038 with Oppo95 won't play SACD's, HDMI input on DAC is for 12S data I play SACDs from my Oppo 105 into my Bryston DAC3, which has 4 HDMI inputs. The Oppo is set to send DSD from SACD into the DAC over HDMI.NAD also makes a DAC with true HDMI inputs for about half the cost of the Bryston. | |
| newbie seeks advice You might want to start with a Class D amp, because they can output a lot of power for relatively small cash outlay, and are relatively small and don't generate much heat.. There isa lot of controversy here, as in every audio topic, about the qua... | |
| Qobuz on Bluesound in the U.S.? I had lots of trouble registering. I finally created another email address and was able to register through that. The tab on the Bluesound app also worked | |
| Best solution to send digital files to my DAC Rbstenhoif you read my post above, you might see why a NAS is the choice for some people. Some of us live with significant others who may have other uses for a server, or may wish to access the server from different locations. | |
