..and with the better CODECs like aptX (Note 8, S9) was pretty good.  Mentioning Bluetooth, if you have IOS you have some limits on audio rate, and if on Android, you need to open up developer options to pick the better BT codecs

 and THAT is a shame...  So, knowing that for the finest possible sound quality you will need an external DAC that supports DSD/MQA (~$800 & up) bear this in mind when comparing this Vs more integrated streamers with better DAC analog designs

.and to the not so good.  My receiver is an outstanding Sunfire TGR3, but its from 2005, and the included 24/96 DACs simply blow away the analog audio quality of the Node2i, despite the dozen newer generations of DACs and the MQA & higher sampling rates of the DAC within the node2i.

very good good, but could be better

 BlueOS could learn a lot from Onkyo's HD player on iTunes. That's an awful lot of problems to encounter in such a short period. Thinking of sending it back--it'll all depend on the sound once I get the replacement power cord.  It also seems incapable of creating a local network share on my Mac

 Thinking of sending it back--it'll all depend on the sound once I get the replacement power cord.  It also seems incapable of creating a local network share on my Mac.  Really disappointed with the software. The product support also isn't good--unresponsive and unhelpful

 That said, the sound quality is good with a direct digital connection--better than I thought it might be, considering it has an internal power supply. I expect the clarity will improve with a decent power cable. It's a pity there's not an Equalizer (I'm not that much of a purist)--just treble and bass controls.  The software isn't nearly as good as it should be--not by a long shot

I've had the thing three days, and these are my impressions so far: The first thing you should know is there is a very clear sound quality difference between a direct connection input and streaming wirelessly. Streaming 24/192 wireless over a stable broadband network--I won't say it's bad sound quality, but it did eliminate all the glorious mids of my tube amp. That said, the sound quality is good with a direct digital connection--better than I thought it might be, considering it has an internal power supply. I expect the clarity will improve with a decent power cable

Buggy

 Our Quality Assurance team will be looking into this further to provide a fix in a future Windows app release. Thank you for your patience and for helping us create a better experience."  But now January still no update, I still had the previous installer on my computer so installed that version, so it is working again.  Bottom line the unit sounds great

 (I shared the comments from BluOs with the vendor of the Mscaler who was surprised about the comments) So after a while I thought well I will not use the Mscaler on the Node 2I any more. Then fast forward, November 2021, firmware was updated and the windows software was updated, suddenly I cannot connect any more any bleutooth device anymore (it still worked with the android app, so it was not the unit). I contacted support again and got this message back, "Thank you for contacting the BluOS Support Crew. We have been able to reproduce this issue here in our labs

"  But now January still no update, I still had the previous installer on my computer so installed that version, so it is working again.  Bottom line the unit sounds great. The unit does not work with upscalers. Support is below expectation

From verry happy to not so happy

I agree with many of the other reviews so far: both the positive and the negative. It really is a nifty device, as another reviewer called it. Sound quality is excellent (although I'm not certain how much of that to attribute to the Node vs. other elements of my system)

 IMO it isn't as terrible as some others suggest, but there is a learning curve. On the other hand, for the most part I can use the Node without the Bluesound software controls. I can use Roon, iTunes, or Pandora instead for most functions other than set-up (such as mapping IR remote control operations.)

 Sound quality is excellent (although I'm not certain how much of that to attribute to the Node vs. other elements of my system). The form factor is small and relatively inconspicuous. I love being able to map my amplifier's IR remote control functions to the Node, so I don't need to open up a software application every time I want to skip a track, mute, etc

Nifty device; software has some rough edges

 The output tubes are still stock. This thing's a beast. It weighs a ton and has just enough edge on attacks and excess current capacity that it can really make the Avantgarde's go. It may not have the midrange beauty of 300B's, but the 211 is the kind of wild I like

Phono Pre - Simaudio Moon 110LP v2 - This is a great little phono pre for the money. It has a ton of loading options for its level and sounds great.

 Huge step up from the Sony PS-X500 I had before (Underrated table in its own right). It's quiet, great bass response. I'm using a Sumiko Blackbird on this table.

DAC/Streamer - Mytek Brooklyn Bridge - Moved up to this from a Bluesound Node 2i. Huge improvement imho, more detailed, more imaging, somehow the sound was no longer stuck inside the speakers. Almost like moving from a 2 inch diameter pipe to a 12 inch diameter pipe.

I've spent most of the pandemic working on my stereo system. I got the final pieces in short succession a few months ago and have been happy since.

Speakers - Avantgarde Acoustic Duo 2.2 - I've been dreaming of Avantgardes ever since I first saw them at Munich High End about 6 years ago. I saw them again in Berlin a few months later, but then went six years without hearing them. I got a chance to pick some up at a great price, so I made the drive to Virginia from NYC to pick them up after ruminating on the decision to buy them for months. Couldn't be happier, except maybe if I find a pair of Duo Mezzo's at a price I can't pass up.

Integrated Amp - Line Magnetic LM-218ia - I picked this up as a dealer demo last summer. It's the 211-based model and sounds great. I swapped the driver tubes out for KT88s immediately after buying it and also swapped the 12AX7's to some new production JJ's that were nice and cheap. Will play more with tubes later.

Turntable 1 - Pro-Ject Xtension 12 - This is the olivewood model. It's incredibly beautiful, albeit huge. Huge step up from the Sony PS-X500 I had before (Underrated table in its own right). It's quiet, great bass response. I'm using a Sumiko Blackbird on this table.

Phono Pre - Simaudio Moon 110LP v2 - This is a great little phono pre for the money. It has a ton of loading options for its level and sounds great.

Turntable 2 - Clearaudio Concept with Satisfy Tonearm - I haven't used this much, it came up locally at a great price, will probably move to my bedroom system once I find the right speakers for it

Rack - DIY rack with iron conduit and Canadian Birch plywood.

If anyone cares, don't flame me - Speaker cables are Wireworld Gold Eclipse III's biwired with a 1M jumper. Interconnects are Analysis Plus Oval One. Amp power cable is Analysis Plus Power Oval 2 MKII. The power conditioner is a Furman Elite 15 PFi.

Saw this on my home feed, and upon doing so literally said out loud, “what the f*** is that???”

 Never seen skeletal speakers before lol. Very cool tho.

Finally Happy with My System

5. Small-ish form-factor (since this will likely sit on a side table, not may main rack)  

Budget is flexible, but I'm hoping for something under or around $500 USD.  I'm located in Canada, and I'd love to be able to find something used for even less.  

Helping the school out

I’m looking for suggestions on speakers for helping out a local school to build a sound system in their gym. I’m donating my Onkyo TX-NR585 and would like to know if that is enough to drive what your recommending. There are 2 rooms 30x30 and they want 2 zones.  I also would like to wall mount them. Thx

I'm not a total audiophile so I apologize in advance if I don't have proper terminology for everything.

I have a pair of Klipsch RP160-M speakers and an Onkyo TX8160 receiver. I've noticed that with some songs I'm getting occasional static sounds at certain points. For example, on Subterranean Homesick Alien by Radiohead  it's fairly audible in the intro as the bass drop comes in and the following sustained bass during the intro, though the static crackling seems to be more tied to higher tones of the guitar. It appears across both speakers...However, the static isn't present in all songs or even consistently throughout the songs I do hear it (such as Subterranean Homesick Alien).

I tried making a fresh clip to the ends of the speaker cables and reconnecting them using the banana clips I have, and that hasn't remedied the issue. I'd really appreciate any insight anyone might be able to share.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: So, I might have come up with the solution. Could it be a bad signal from the laptop I had plugged in? I played my CD of OK Computer and didn't have any issue but it was there when I ran the 3.5mm into my tablet. I don't think it's the 3.5mm cord because it doesn't seem present when I run it through my phone.

Hi guys,

I have the below setup in mind and would love to hear some feedbacks. This will be my intro to vinyl so please excuse my ignorance. Currently, I'd like to have both my PC and turntable hooked to it.

&nbsp;

* **Sources**: **[Current desktop PC motherboard/Turntable]**: Pro-ject Debut Carbon Evo
* **DAC**: Topping D10s as my motherboard only has USB out (https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/topping-d10s-usb-dac-and-bridge-review.14859/)
* **Integrated Amp**: CA AXR85 or AXR100. Interested in the refurbished options on Ebay. Is there any reason to choose the AXR100 over the AXR85 if I already have an external DAC in mind?
* **Speakers**: Elac DBR62 or CA EVO S. (https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/usa/en/products/evo/evo-s)

&nbsp;
The two sets of speakers are relatively comparable in terms of price with the Elac having a good rep while the CA has few reviews since they are new. But I really like the looks of the CA and I read somewhere it might be nice to pair same brands components. Doe that make sense? Any thoughts on past CA speakers?

Thank you so much for reading this and your help!

Hi everyone. I just found this sub from google so if I’m breaking a rule I’m sorry. 

Basically I have a game room upstairs. I have two Klipsch Hersey speakers that I want to hook up to my tv. The tv only has a digital input and the speakers just have the standard two wire connections. What’s the best way to hook this up?


Also, not sure if I want to have the speakers in the front of the room or back or what. If you do recommend back idk if I want wires going across my room or if there is a wireless thing or what

Thank you

What speakers should I get?

I'm not a big audiophile since I work a part time job, but I'd like to get some better sound quality going.

I have a Fluance RT-82 turntable, and am looking for bookshelf speakers that would be able to output all of the range of sound coming out of that, for as cheap as possible.

Thanks in advance

r/audiophile Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk Thread

It indexed pretty quickly the NAS folder and I'm now using the DAC in the NODE 2i with an analog connection to the Sprout100; not sure which DAC is better (NODE also supports MQA) and I'll try a digital connection out to the Sprout at some point in the future.

I've been trying with and without sub (without sub, there is a bass boost from the Sprout100 that can be disabled) and I ended up with SB-1000 as tracks such as Pink Floyd - Welcome to the machine just doesn't sound right without a sub.

And I think that now I am done with my HiFi system with the addition of Node 2i.

I'm considering this a major win since I'm in it for less than $300 which is only slightly more than the Amazon option (that doesn't stream full Hi-Res and isn't compatible with their own app or web player) and significantly less than the Bluesound Node 2i.  Quite frankly I'm tempted to dismiss even higher end streamers as well but don't want to incite a debate really.

I'm looking to hear stories from people who have successfully integrated an RPi with their Hi-Fi setup.

 It has native 192/24 Hi-res playback. It has a MULTITUDE of connectivity options at the back (besting the Port and Connect entirely, by an embarrassing margin). It has 2-way Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD connectivity, e

I can't believe I've never reviewed this device because, quite honestly, it is the best tech and/or audio purchase (or at least in the top-3) that I have made in at least a decade. It has never let me down. I won't be longwinded because there are plenty of reviews, but in a nutshell this this TROUNCES the Sonos Port (and Connect), in every conceivable way. Period

 It has 2-way Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD connectivity, e.g. you can stream music directly to it from a device or send music *from* the Node to another pair of BT speakers or headphones

 Full stop. The BlueOS software is more attractive, much better laid out in terms of UI/UX, has more available settings, is easier to setup and add/move devices, on and on..

The FANTASTIC Device That Happily Led Me Away From SONOS - A 1 Year and 5 Month review

4Ghz Wifi and if using VPN on the phone you have to add the home network to the trusted sites, or VPN will make phone blind to the Node 2i. 3. Contrary to what they advertised and keep advertising, there is no Airplay, plain and simple.  For an MQA Tidal streamer at this price the unit is a no brainer for the frugal audiophile, and a great source of joy for those who want to keep their non-MQA decoding DACs with analog inputs

2>ProAc Tablette 50 system to start shining past the FLAC stations and the rare DSD track.  I am feeding the Node 2i via analog to take advantage of the dual unfolding to rates of 350kHz-24bit-1600kbps such as with Orlinski's Anima Sacra and a bunch of Deutsche Gramofon classics, even Dua Lipa is featured in MQA now.  The first unit was a fiasco, with analog out and fixed volume it had distorted treble AND to top it enabling tone control resulted in flat dull boomboxy sound.  Before I ordered the TEAC NT-505 to replace the HD-DAC1 and Bluesound, I requested a Node 2i replacement from Amazon

 2. You can only use 2.4Ghz Wifi and if using VPN on the phone you have to add the home network to the trusted sites, or VPN will make phone blind to the Node 2i. 3
