I wanted to seek your advice on a good streamer under £ 1000. There may be units that will do well but PrimaLuna and McIntosh tube amps were poor matches while McIntosh solid state amp sounded great. AirPlay 2 also gives you more options for control, including using Siri voice assistance. Skip, pause, play etc are fine and the remote is one of the better ones.Output from the Moon Neo MiND is digital, through SP/DIF (Coaxial), Optical or through balanced cable output (AES-EBU).

Listening just last night for about 2 hours and I had to unplug the Node 2i two times to get it to reboot. It is also aesthetically more appealing and would make the system/living room "look" better. 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. Getting the late updates may improve usability, compatibility and sound quality.While I was waiting, I switched on Bluetooth via my phone. Oh my, this little black box sounds amazing with tubes and horns. The 2i is worth £500. September 21, 2017 - 7:13am The built-in DAC is really, really good.

I did talk to colleagues and they did enjoy the Cambridge’s sound.Ok, thanks for the reply Paul. Thanks for all your suggestions, helped a lot.I personally liked the Rega better too. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. There are also various ‘Sonos’ style powered speakers. It’s a very musical and natural sounding streamer and the app is also very good. In many ways, this was the most valuable part of the sound test because it revealed just how sensitive the 2i could be in terms of refinement.I then tried Swissgroove Radio – well, why not? Did you see my review on that one?Thanks a lot, Paul. That will concentrate our minds Guess the question is of a broader nature. To be honest, I’d stick your 2. It’s certainly a low cost alternative to the 2i, sure. Who’d have thought? The difference seemed less noticeable with Tidal MQA tracks.I like the ‘N’ sound but the 2i has much to recommend it and I wouldn’t complain at all if I was to live with it, Nuno. Separating the tools, lowers the noise floor. It’s not even close. Moon Neo MiND. I use a Node 2i with B&W 603, a Cambridge CXA80 (analog input since the CXA80 can’t decode MQA) and I think it sounds fantastic. 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.If you are not in this price band, you could argue for a Bluesound Node that is a third of the price but this Moon Neo MiND is in a league of its own, in my view.The Moon Neo MiND is retailing near £1699 and a quick google will reveal distributors.Great review. The Heed looks pretty good and indeed has received several good reviews.

One caveat though, I am heavily biased in favor or Rega and I very much like those CM9s and I know they will deliver a very pleasing sound that touches on my exact taste so I am not objective.

Do you recommend another phono alternatively?Fixing/replacing Linn Valhalla power supply will also make a difference. It will pair well with your Linn LP12.

The more time I spend with these two guys the better they sound, without doubt. August 21, 2017 - 2:20am A Bluesound Node 2 will attach directly and has an adequate DAC. For me? AVR’s DAC and my ears preferred the Node 2i’s DAC.User experience goes to Sonos. Or is there an impact on the internal sound circuitry of the 2i if the wireless chipset is in use? Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Daft Punk, Stevie Ray Vaughan… I’ve been listening for roughly 4 hours without a single hiccup. Bluesound NODE 2i Hi-Res... Sevenoaks. After repeating the setup, I began listening to music through the Node 2i. I have seen many rave reviews of the Audiolab but not so much of the latter.

And yes, Chord is also recommended in general terms.Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.© 2015 - Solo Pine. I own several Marantz DACs and am extremely happy with their sound quality. Follow. Give yourself a listen to the RA 1592 with either the CM9 S2 or the CM10. Really, it is the perfect link to the modern world of streaming networked music and digital hi resolution playback of any kind. There are other streamers out there that may meet your needs better. I did have a 5 minute listen to a B&W Formation Duo setup and was impressed but of course they are way out of my budget.If VFM is a consideration, I’ve been offered some ex dem LSX for £700 and LS50W for £1700 but I cannot hear them at home before buying.Both are very good indeed and if you have a hankering for either then I’m sure you’ll be happy with those, especially if you want to also set them up in a near field fashion.

There's no DAC.
