MINIMSERVER IGNORE THE TRIAL
Tidal offers at least a 30 day free trial so take advantage of that when you sign up for an account. I think you can get access to the Tidal webpage that lists all the devices that are Tidal compatible without having an account so you can research some of them, if you want. The Node 2 may sound plenty good enough for you, but if you want to spend thousands for a better streamer later, you won’t lose much reselling it. There is some setup involved but the instructions are clear and you can email support for help or whoever you buy it from can probably help with any problems you have. It is as close to plug and play as you’ll get. You use the app to connect to Tidal (or other services), to select music and to control the volume if you go direct to amp.
MINIMSERVER IGNORE THE ANDROID
It has its own own app for your phone or tablet which you download (for free) from the Apple store or Google Play for the Android version. It is a streamer/DAC combo, it is Tidal ready, you can run it with either a wifi or ethernet connection and it has analog outputs that you can connect to your preamp or amp. What I would suggest that you do is buy a Bluesound Node 2 for $500 or less.
Some streamers will work with a wireless connection (wifi). Some streamer/DACs require a wired connection to your wifi router (that’s called an ethernet connection) and that will require you to have your router near your stereo or run a long section of cat 6 (or 7 or 8) wire to your stereo. I’d try both ways before you sell anything. Also, some people like to go direct from streamer/DAC to amp, some, like me, prefer a preamp in between. I think you need to slow down a little and keep your preamp and amp so that you have a solid reference to judge the sound of whatever streamer/DAC you purchase. There are other streamer/DAC combos that you may want to consider. The DSjr is a DAC with a built in streamer, the Bridge II. OR should I get the Gain Cell, which I could today, and keep the Tube pre? Seems a waste to have a tube pre with no turntable and switching strictly to streaming. I am trying to sell a quicksilver pre-amp to complete my purchase of the DS Jr.It's on audiongon YOU SHOULD BUY IT !!:-)Īlso, since I am selling the tube pre and using the Jr as a pre.will the power tube amps smooth out the digital sound? Streamer ? Why is one better than another? And which should I use?Ī bit confused, and I have been trying to do my own research, Im just not quite getting what is what and why one may be better than another. Roon are players used to play the stream and send to the Dac (check)? But the DS Jr is a I think I understand is.Tidal is a streaming service (check), audirvana and What are the pros and cons of this vs Tidal direct through the DS Jr. What are the pros and cons of this if true, compared to using Audirvana or Roon or Jriver?Ĭan I use Audirvana to play tidal through the DS Jr. has installed ability to play Tidal, and use Roon.ĭoes this mean I can play Tidal without using Roon or other player with the DS Jr. I have been using Audirvana to play Tidal with my current Cambridge Dac. I am planning on getting the direct stream Jr.
MINIMSERVER IGNORE THE PLUS
I am currently using a Cambridge magic plus through a tube Pre and tube mono blocks. But I am happy with my new path.but still a bit anxious. I just sold my turntable so there is no going back, and believe me the decision was brutal to make. I have been considering a change to digital for several months and finally started to make the transition.
