Congrats on the upgrade, you will enjoy the difference. Couple months ago I went from a P6 to a P8 and was very happy.

The Motels... Total Control (Live) For me it doesn't get much better for New Wave then Martha Davis and The Motels. The studio version is all cleaned up but this live version from 79/80 is raw and powerful and shows her iconic voice was not through some machine! At 2:45 she is really into the...

Just realized that and changed it... Thanks! Maybe I was thinking of laser discs..lol Anyway I was around for both laser and sacd releases and even the BETA/VHS wars! :) Funny how Sony lost both of sacd and Beta! :)

Sounds good, good luck with your new set up.

I think over time a cable will settle in and give a more relaxed sound. If doing this for 40 hours before you hook them to your speakers gets them burned in or if you just plug them in to your speakers and listen for 40 hours to burn them in, I think the end result is the same. The sound does...

I think that SACD died the moment it came out in the late 90's. Needed a new player, costs were higher and it was not marketed well at all. Audiophiles have kept it kind of on going through the years. I own about 50 and just can't be bothered buying the new releases that MOFI put out as they are...

Did this back in 2011 on a Project table and really liked the upgrade from Red to Blue. Whatever you liked about the Red, the Blue does better and also has a lower noise floor which helps out a great deal while listening to softer music. The Blue tracks well and no inner groove distortion. As...

Again thanks for your insight. Your reasons for switching and your logic is 95% of why I am thinking of buying the Node2i. It's $649 CAD here which is approx £377, as you mentioned not that expensive! I should have jumped on here earlier and could have saved you some money! :) Just checked the...

Thanks for the insight on the app and the player and you have a very nice system for sure. Here is my situation, Tidal subscriber for over a year and have no reason to switch to other services as $19.99 CAD a month is peanuts for high res music. My system.. Unison Research Simply Italy tube...

The Arcam CDS50 can not unfold the MQA signal so my thought on going through the CDS50 is useless for achieving what I am trying to accomplish. I am either stuck with Tidal at FLAC (which is not bad) or purchase the Node 2i like you and some others and run it directly to my Simply Italy amp...

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. As for the MusicLife app, I may have been a little harsh on it! :) It's not bad it is just limited or should I say Arcam has choose to make it limited. Here is a list of what is on mine in Canada... Radio stations, Podcasts, TIDAL, Napster, Deezer, Qobus...

Hi, thanks for the info, your setup sounds nice. I will do some more investigating to see what I can come up with. Thanks for the explanation about running it through the cds50, I may just keep using the cds50 since it does work good. Not much use having two dacs! Thanks again

188793 Dragging this back up and hoping you or Hawkmoon could offer advice. I am running a Simply Italy Integrated amp with the Arcam cds50 sacd player. They are connected together with rca cables and I have an Ethernet cable running from the cds50 to my router. I’m using the MusicLife app on...
