    Arylic S50 Pro vs bluesound node 2i

    No, it plays tracks and there is a gap between the tracks. On a vinyl LP the gap is typically 3-4 secs. With this device the gap is 1 second longer, may be. I have the A50, sounds great costs 160 usd. Mostly streaming Tidal hifi which has 80% of my CD collection the rest I have on USB sticks...

    Future Classics

    Do B&W 602s3's count as 2010+? Not sure when they stopped making them. Had mine since cca 2001 now with 2 crumpled twitters and 1 crumpled mid range cone. Asked my son at the weekend what he was thinking of all those years ago (he is now 24). Had the grills back on since then. Apparently the...

    Arylic S50 pro + ,airport express and separate DAC

    Well its up to the individual but I'd agree with some others on here that hi-res is snake oil and bearing in mind 90% of the music I stream is only available at the lower rate and very few folks can actually tell the difference with higher resolutions seems like the industry has found a way to...

    Arylic S50 pro + ,airport express and separate DAC

    I think the latest Arylic update supports Amazon music. I have the A50 and the S10 - both sound fine to me and i am enjoying experimenting with their multi-room possibilities. I too am thinking of getting the S50+ to expand the system further. Some reviewers (Andrew Robinson) prefer the A50...

    Arylic S50 Pro vs bluesound node 2i

    I am having great fun connecting the Arylic (A50 + S10) components to various peices of kit I have and the app works great. May be I don't understand what is meant by gapless -Gapless playback – “the uninterrupted playback of consecutive audio tracks” but thats what I get from the 4stream app...

    News Spotify HiFi

    I think this is pretty important news if true. Depending on what they charge its going to bad news for the other players but will mean quality audio will be available to huge numbers. I have Spotify and Tidal and have to say the Spotify interface is better and library bigger. Am thinking this...

    Arylic S50 Pro vs bluesound node 2i

    Very interesting - I have the Arylic s10 streamer and the A50 which i am testing together with some old kit (BW 602 3s + arcam alpha 8r) and streaming tidal hifi . For some reason I am getting huge uncontrolled base out of this combo either with the S10 + arcam or A50 + Bws. This is not...

    Explaining how I use a DAC

    Thanks. It sounds better than with the cd player. CD was Arcam which I dont use anymore. Your question is kind of my point - i would expect that the DAC in the phone / tablet would be terrible compared to one costing hundreds of pounds. Am thinking that what DAC / streamer adds is more one of...

    Explaining how I use a DAC

    I am also very new to all this. I am streaming using an older iphone into my amp and speakers via phone heaphone socket into aux in. of my old hifi set up (Arcam apha 8r + BW Dm 602 3s). Was using spotify premium - was OK but game changer for me was switching to Tidal hifi which I am trialing (1...

    Question Can I combine an old wired set up with streamer and add wireless speakers for multi-room?

    Thanks. I might consider looking at Audio Pro they seem to have well a priced wireless speaker range with good reviews (and some not so). They have the dedicated link streamer which can work with the Amp. and pair with their speakers at the same time - hopefully without lag (the spaces are...

    Question Can I combine an old wired set up with streamer and add wireless speakers for multi-room?

    Ok thanks. Am I right in saying that I need to buy into 1 manufacturer's eco system and can't mix and match? Seems to be a huge hole in the market for someone clever if that is the case. I am quite limited then - dont want to spend big money as the purpose is to extend an existing system with...

    Question Can I combine an old wired set up with streamer and add wireless speakers for multi-room?

    I have a pair of B+W 602S 3s powered by Arcam alpha8r amp. Still sounds great so dont want to ditch. These days though out of convenience mostly streaming spotify premium re headphone cable from smartphone to aux socket. So looking to upgrade with a dedicated streamer with DAC (or possible...
