| Another OPPO 205 Question Can you just transfer the music files on the XP to a separate HD? HDs are cheap, and the 205 should be able to read an attached HD (my 105 does).How many files is it? I think my old XP hard drive topped out at 100GB | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice Depends on the rest of your system. If it is reasonably resolving, I would say yes, it’s worth an external DAC | |
| Considering a Node2i, what else should I be looking at? The Node2i is a pretty sweet sounding piece. There are some reliability issues, generally related to their frequent updates. It definitely sounds better with an external DAC. In the same price range it appears as though companies such as Pionee... | |
| Audirvana Plus vs Roon - High Sound Quality at Lower Cost? I think Audirvana Plus is outstanding. I did a brief free Roon trial after installing Audirvana and thought Roon degraded the sound subtly. My problem is that I don’t want my PC in the system, as I prefer to use it for computing. After I turn o... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. Redbook indeed is at a new stage of awesomeness. High Rez will not die because:1) it’s marketed at Audiophiles, and we are always looking for tat sonic holy grail. The general public could care less.2) while not all high Rez recordings are true ... | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice Puppy Thats a little discouraging, as I have ordered a BDP 3 to pair with my DAC3. I have had Bluesound for the past 3 years but I am finally throwing in the towel after not being able to use it for a quarter of that time. When it works, it’s a ... | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice OPregarding your Bryston, which did you use to control it?? Manic Moose, or something else? | |
| "High End" Mini 5.1 / 7.2 Receiver? I once got one of those Marantz "thin line' AVRs to use for the waiting room of my business. It sounded awful | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice Have you considered upgrading the Bryston BDP-2 to a BDP-3? It is supposed to be much faster. I think it runs about $1500 for the upgrade. Your question about Bluesound being a Sonos that can stream High Rez is spot on. I currently find it dif... | |
| Trouble with 20-bit HDCD Perhaps you already have the Paul O’Dette Kapsberger disc. If not, highly recommended! | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? The answer is you need to add something to the NAS/DAC como. You have to be able to see what’s on the NAS and to be able to direct the NAS to serve up tracks. It could be a computer or a renderer | |
| Qobuz. Don’t take it personally. We still like you! | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? + 1at the bare minimum, you need a DAC. Some how those 1s and 0s from the NAS have to be converted to sound. I don’t know if the equipment you cited has a DAC. Then you need to be able to tell the NAS what to play. A PC is a great way to start... | |
| Trouble with 20-bit HDCD Did you know that Kaspberger’s first name is really Johannes ? He was a German working in Italy (his patrons referred to him as In Tesoro de Tedesco) and probably Italianicized his name at one point. Regarding the HDCD issue, I have several HDCD... | |
| Qobuz. Supposedly I was accepted, but app didn’t work, kept sending me back to the application page. I’m having a bad IT month. I’ll wait until it’s really launched to try again. Right now just enjoying being able to listen to Bluesound after it was M... |
