| SS Hard Drive with Bluesound Node 2 Thanks for sharing that information. I'm curious if you hear any difference in sound quality playing cds directly to the system or playing ripped cds through the B/S, then into the system. | |
| SS Hard Drive with Bluesound Node 2 Right now, 96 albums, about a dozen of which are hi-rez. I've got several hundred more cds which I'll keep ripping and adding as the spirit moves me. If I run into any issue as the collection grows, I'll post. But, so far no access issues nor any ... | |
| SS Hard Drive with Bluesound Node 2 Thanks for setting me straight. It's small and silent, I ASSumed it was solid state. | |
| What's needed to Steam Tidal Bluesound punches above its weight. I used a Bluejeans Belkin coax cable and routed digital output to the dac in my Marantz SA 8004 for consistency (B/S can't ((yet)) read SACD or dsd. | |
| Bluesound - MQA & SACD? Right. Guess my question could include DSD or SACD. Think PS Audio and Sony were working along those lines but without regard to MQA. I hearing somd rumbling about MQA, but my impression was positive. No reason not to have it in the arsenal | |

| Bluesound, best value streamer? Apologies if this had been covered and I can't understand the answer. Question: I have an iPhone with Bluesound app installed. I'm willing to purchase a stand-alone mqa dac (e.g., Meridian Explorer 2). I'm willing to (re) subscribe to Tidal. Can I... | |
| Question for you Denon DL-103 folks I still have a 103r in the stable. 61db and 100-125 ohms should be fine. At around $225, it's good value and a nice place to start. It likes a little extra mass. | |
