Sods bloomin law have seen 1 other to throw into the mix ... Sonus Faber Lumina 1 :LOL: Oh to be retired having won the lottery, I'd absolutely love the time just comparing them all, that'd be a hobby in itself. Have to say though. I'm heavily leaning towards the latecomer from what I've...

This is where my listening suffers as 80% of the time, it's either background music whilst talking or other people are in bed so most of the time it's very low. I'm guessing manufacturers probably "tune" systems / speakers at the sort of volume I was listening last night, so quiet is never...

"The Boss" is out tonight, I'm in my main listening room and as she's out have "cranked it up" .... not stupid loud, but louder than when she's gone to sleep which is a lot of my listening time. My whole system has jumped into life with no EQ or anything, I tried it with Dirac previously and...

That is a really useful article, the simple explanation of the bands at the end is brilliant!

I had a pair of Focal Aria 926's for over 6 months, for their cost I think they punched way above their weight and their detail / clarity was amazing, the only thing that got to me over time was the top end which became fatiguing with long listening sessions. I do still wonder if I should...

That's what I believed from other's comments, I back to backed a WiiM Ultra and a Bluesound Nano, both using USB out into a DAC and granted it was hard to spot but I did feel there was a small difference in sound. That's just my eperience.

I am looking at upgrading some speakers and appreciate I'm only going to know which I prefer by actually listening to them both but I was just generally interested if most people had a leaning towards a precise, monitor type sound, or if you'd generally err towards something with some colour / a...

Can you "cast" Amazon music to it, it's on eof the things the OP mentioned in the original post.

I'd definitely look at the BE65's then unless you want to spend a lot more going to another brand. If you don't want the cost of replacing them all at once, do the critical ones 1st as the X50's will work with the others .... or just do the critical ones and use the X50's in the "lesser" needed...

I was literally about to swich from Tidal to Qobuz as if you're using the App on Windows, Tidal often doesn't see the available devices / streamers and I'm sure when I trialled Qobuz towards the end of last year, it wouldn't see groups on Qobuz Connect but you could see Chromecast groups ...

Not sure which Decos you have, I tried the BE25's 1st and they were "OK", I also tried an X50 which the speed was quite good but it's WiFi range very limited. I do like my BE65's though .... I have 3 across the house, the 2nd is set up as an access point and the 3rd as wireless in the most...

I've just double checked and the Pro won't play files from a memory stick, it will however play files stored elsewhere on a network / NAS. The Ultra is the lowest in their range that plays them from a memory stick, they often have sale on and with Easter round the corner may do then, have seen...

No it wouldn't affect it as the commands come from the network, not IR. I didn't suggest that as OP wants to use a USB for media and not sure if his current amp has that option, the Mini doesn't but I believe the Pro does.

Why not keep your existing amp and just add a streamer to do all the bits your amp doesn't do, one of the WiiM range would probably be best if you use Amazon Music and as your amp has a DAC could probably look at something like the WiiM Pro.

Thought you could have a laugh at my expense .... I was trying to listen to 80 Hz tones and I couldn't hear them and I'm thinking .... I know my hearing's not great but surely I should easily be able to hear those so went up to 100 Hz, then110 Hz .... thought I'll go a lot higher and tried 250...
