Hmmm...I have only minimal streaming experience, but when I take all these posts together, maybe I don't want any more? I have a Bluesound Node 2i that does fine on a secondary system (Schiit Bifrost, 50wpc NAD integrated, B&W CM-1). But when I plug it into my main system below, it cannot compared to ripped CDs on my Naim Uniti Core. If Cheeze, Puma, and rob are correct in their posts above; it does not appear possible to get a streaming solution that will be acceptable.

I used to think that, but I'm not convinced of that anymore...but to get audio quality from a "streaming set-up" comparable to a disc or file resident on a hard drive ripped from a disc, it's going to cost a fair bit of money. I'm thinking Aurender N200, N20, or Lumin P1, etc., level products here.

Well I got the Bluesound NODE yesterday and spent the evening configuring everything except access to my CD's that I ripped to the Mac. Stuggling with that a bit. I must say I am quite please with the audio quality of Amazon HD and Radio Paradise has some nice stuff as well.I am currently using the internal DAC. I will wait awhile to get totally familiar with the sound and then try a USB hookup to my Schiit Modi 3+.

This clarifies a lot for me. Thanks for that.

I am getting excellent results streaming Apple Lossless music directly from my MacBook Pro via USB to my McIntosh D150 DAC. All the Mac does is to deliver the exact digital bits, the work to shape the actual sound quality is done inside the D150.

Sent an inquiry in to Bluesound and they provided a PDF file with complete instructions on how to make the necessary changes on my Mac mini so my music library is listed with all the Bluesound music sources. So now it is accessible just the same as Tidal, Amazon Music, etc.
Happy Day! |
