Doesn’t AirPlay support CDQuality resolution? No dongle required. I have the Buchardt A500 active speakers that connect wirelessly to a hub at 24/96 resolution. I doubt that I can hear the difference between 24/96 and anything higher res. Reading this thread makes me think I should try...

I have a similar problem. I bought the Buchardt A500 active speaker system, which sound fantastic on jazz instrumentals and classical music but seem to lack “presence” on vocals, especially with female singers. I first noticed It when streaming a hi-res Roberta Flack album. She sounds like she...

Wow! That’s great news. Thank

I have the Hub. Airplay doesn’t stream at 24/96.

I have an old MacBookPro (2014 model) with a 500 GB solid state drive. I want to download albums from Qobuz to the computer so I can directly stream music via USB to my Buchardt A500 active speakers. I want to bypass the DAC in the Mac because the A500s have internal DACs. What additional...

Do you seriously think you can hear the difference? 24/96 is Hi Def -better than CD quality.

I just signed up for the Qobus free trial offer. However, the app on my iPhone is in French. While I understand enough of the language to navigate the app, some of the literal translations come out confusing, causing me to go to my French-English dictionary. I can live with that. In fact...

Does the 7000n have enough power to best drive the LS-50s? People have claimed you need 100 watts per channel to do that. The 7000n is only rated at 60 watts. However, the WHF review confusingly stated that it has a max output of 120 watts. Are they just summing the two channels? Or is...

I still have them. My girlfriend heard them and wants them (so I guess I get $0 for them). I reconnected the LS-50s. Although they lack the bass response, they are more clear and transparent in the mid and high ranges. The 104s seem to add some coloration in these ranges but maybe it’s because...

I decided to sell my 40 year-old vintage KEF 104 a/b speakers as I ordered the Buchardt A500 system. I advertised the KEFs on the local Craigslist priced at $150 for the pair. Within two hours I was flooded with interested buyers from as far away as 50 miles. I connected them so the buyer...

The NAD also has a good DAC and Top of the line room correction included.

Let me add that I have heard the KEF II system (though not in an optimal listening environment) and they sounded really good without a sub. I also own the older wired LS-50s with no sub. I have not yet heard the A500s so my opinions are based purely on the five or six reviews I have read...

You are right. Darko didn’t say the KEF II needed a subwoofer. What he did say was that the Buchardt A500s produced a deeper bass response that made them more satisfying to listen to.
