Perhaps my impression that the OP wanted to be able to play CDs and listen to high-res files through the same device was in error. If so: OOPS!
A little help with a source
Hi All,
I write because I have finally come to the point where I need to pay attention to my source. I listen literally to everything(except country) but am currently listening to a lot of jazz and electronic. Currently I have a need to pay attention my source. Ideally I want to keep things simple and go with something that will stream high res files (tidal) but can also serve as a stand alone server for my library of CD's.I am currently running the following equipment:
Pre: NAD 165Bee
Amp(s): Anthem MCA 20, Red Dragon Audio M1000-MkI Mono Blocks, Red Dragon S500
TT: Project Debut Carbon
Speakers: Gallo Ref 3.1, Green Mountain Audio Continuum I, Magnepan 1.5qr, Magnepan MMG's, Spatial Audio M3's
Cables: Anti Cables throughout
I would like something simple and cost effective (I am a poor audio enthusiast). Any direction or advice would be much appreciated!!!
Thanks in Advance!!

I recently purchased the Blusound Node 2. It simplified my setup... - gone is the imac - gone is the Dac - gone is the USB/SPDIF converter - gone are all the associated cables and power supplies The Blusound also - sounds better than my previous setup, - is easy to install and setup, - easier to keep updated with the latest software release, - easier to use from any droid device I also have the Powernode 2 on my AV system - again very easy to use. It interfaces to most popular streaming services and has a plethora of free radio stations Cost is in the $500-$600 region Great price, great value, great music Hope that helps |
