Go and listen one.

Some functions, such as searching for artists on Tidal, take us through too many menus for it to be described as intuitive. It’s definitely something Cyrus need to work on to make the product more user friendly. A quick and easy to way control your music, voice control brings you a whole new way to experience music throughout the home. I can afford the 280D but wish to spend in a justified manner. Fine, but maybe not so? In respect of control the Moon Neo MiND has Simaudio’s SimLink so the MiND can chat to other Moon components and therefore share the remote control, there are Apple and Android Apps as well. Visit our corporate site. Reasonably priced, high quality DACs that would likely get an A rating where I think the Simaudio might inch close to A+ territory. Not saying that the Rotel RA-1592 isn't musical sounding.......the Rotel is very musical as well but imo the Rega Elicit-R is better.

The Mythos Super Towers I have are now run in beautifully and it all adds up to a tremendous dominant, open and yet smooth sound. Plus you get a really good quality streamer and DAC. Take control of the most versatile music streamer with the easy-to-use BluOS Controller app. You can get the NA8005 for $499 from Music Direct and if you don't like it's streaming capabilities, you could add a Bluesound Node2 for about the same price as the Rega DAC R. Taking price into account, I feel like the Marantz is a steal and the way to go. Rotel and B&W always have great sonic synergy together but the RA 1570 wouldn't do your CM9 S2 justice IMO. A much better stable after market app alternative is ‘bubble upnp’ on the android platform.

Melco N100.

There may be units that will do well but PrimaLuna and McIntosh tube amps were poor matches while McIntosh solid state amp sounded great. Classe would be a perfect pair for the B&W 800 series Diamond. It’s nothing really to do with timing – it does that well – but it has a generally more relaxed character, siding toward a more human performance than the uptight and mechanical delivery of some competitors. 2. The CM9 S2 is $3200/pair and the CM10 is $4k/pair.

The Worst Value Audiophile HiFi I’ve tried? Connectivity options include digital inputs, optical and coaxial connections along with Bluetooth for offline streaming.

My options are: There is nothing that inherently addresses analog or digital sources at a base level. I feel I may just need a streamer for now, can add a different DAC (even a 280D without MiND module) later.

The RA 1592 has good sounding DAC especially considering the price of the unit. Both the Node 2i and Vault 2i are extremely intuitive and configurable devices that allow you to play both your streaming services and personal music library. Top-class sound and extensive features makes for an outstanding streamer. Tidal & Qoboz | Storage: 2TB | Dimensions: 6.1 x 21.5 x 27cm | Weight: 3kg.

#audiophile, Tribute to Dame Vera Lynn @damevera #dameveralynn, Hegel H120 specs edit for my film @hegelmusicsyste, Sony WH-1000XM3 review versus Bose QuietComfort QC, Gadget or Gimmick? There's also a 3.5mm input.

Rega does.

In regards to Linn LP12, it is a very good turntable especially when paired with the right and good quality accompanying accessories.

It scores well for Tidal streaming being as good as playing similar quality local NAS files. Rotel and B&W are sister companies and generally are designed to perform well together. The more time I spend with these two guys the better they sound, without doubt.

But for a sound this natural coming from a streamer, it would still be a bargain if you have the funds. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. If CDs are a distant memory and your music went non-removable many moons ago, then a quality music streamer will give you the best possible sound for your subscription service or lossless file collection. You can get a tube preamp but I would get SS power amp to pair with the B&W 800 series, especially the 800, 802 & 803.

It's not choosy when it comes to playing file types either. If you have any questions about the Bluesound Node 2i or Vault 2i, please leave a comment below. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. I "upgraded" my DAC from a Marantz NA11-S1 to a PS Audio Directstream DAC and will say that it undeniably had a positive impact on clarity and soundstage and I like the PS Audio better. Better transient attacks, speed, rhythm, transparency with more bloom in midrange area and more refined sound overall with smoother treble. Easily stream your favorite tracks from the source of your choice and hear it anywhere in the home. The issue here is really how do you listen to a streamer that is just collecting a digital file processing it and just firing it off to the digital to analogue converter.

Cyrus dispensed with the rather fiddly n-remote which had problems scrolling through music and blanking once every so often, particularly with long classical music track names. If you want a stylish way to stream your music wirelessly then the Cambridge Audio CXN, with its brushed metal finish and intuitive menus, could be for you. If in the future you plan on getting the B&W 800 Diamond series I wouldn't pair the them with tube amps.

Cambridge Audio CXC - $499 and is just a transport with no internal DAC. Control on the Tidal App is the best and the Bluetooth stream is very satisfactory, at 44.1kHz. Everything on its spec-sheet suggests it is more than up to meeting the (very stiff) competition. Punchy and tuneful, feature-packed and fun: if you’re looking to buy a high-quality digital source that covers all bases, the Technics SL-G700 is a brilliant option. All of these can be controlled through Cambridge's Connect app for iOS and Android.

We might then need a switch if our ethernet sockets are used up by the usual Apple TV, smart TV, and Amazon Fire TV sticks etc. I’m somewhat dubious given the micro USB socket is at the front and an extension to a front socket would be short. I am listening to the Moon Neo MiND into a T+A DAC 8 & AMP 8. We described the original CXN as "wonderfully entertaining", and it's heartening to see this second-generation model retaining that character. That being said, the objective choice is Rotel and you didn't like that very much so maybe there is some value. The Moon Neo MiND is retailing near £1699 and a quick google will reveal distributors. Anyone for “Musicality”, “Highly Recommended” or a “Veil is Lifted” ? I also heard this combination at my audio dealer and the the combination was solid.

Tintin, Its Sabre32 Ultra32 DACs are able to handle PCM files (such as FLAC, WAV and AIFF) up to 24bit/192kHz, as well as 11.2MHz DSD files. I am getting a pre-listened Linn Sondek LP12 with a Ortofon Quintet Blue MC cartridge; getting a Phono-in too. The CM10 also uses the same Mundorf crossover as the one used in the 800 series Diamond. Featuring an array of analog and digital input and output options, the NODE 2i gives you infinite playback choices to rule your sonic domain.

Thanks to your suggestions I have been enjoying my 702s with Rega Elicit-R. The Bluesound Node2 is a streamer that happens to have a built in DAC. With the ability to play and store audio from multiple streaming services, Internet radio stations and podcasts, as well as rip your CDs, the VAULT 2i becomes yours to command with just a few simple taps on your mobile device or tablet. Thankfully, the MiND app is without such teething problems, but it is a bit clunky. It is well made, carefully conceived and sounds excellent for the money.

With state-of-the-art Bluetooth® aptX® HD, the NODE 2i can easily support 24-bit streaming directly from your phone or tablet, as well as transmit studio-quality music to Bluetooth headphones and speakers. Bluesound Node 2i Multi-Room Hi-Res Streamer Easily connect the NODE 2i wireless music streamer to any existing stereo system to unlock and discover a universe of audio streaming. Leading edges are precise and the overall presentation is nice and stable. As I have said many times now, MAYBE, if I had run into the ACE first I may just have ended up being a Moon fan, instead of a dreaded Naim fanboy (the N word again!). I personally liked the Rega better too.

I must admit I have fitted into this aficionado camp and still do to some degree. It also supports 24-bit/192kHz files, which is useful for compatible services like Tidal.

Read the full review: Audiolab 6000N Play. So what about the downsides? Thanks for all your suggestions, helped a lot. Simple setup directly inside the user-friendly BluOS Controller app. Good evening , I am new to this after 40 years ago buying my 1st turntable I have now gone back to old school vinyl ...I have purchased a Rega planar 6 exact MM cartridge with Rega elicit r amp and bowers Wilkins CM9’s.
