Hi-Fi Whipped

Hardly filling the oppo void at $3999 RRP, talk about a niche market!

Yes appears great buying at around AUD$475 delivered

Am I reading that wrong? The reclocker only comes into play using the connect as a digital transport doesn't it?

Well I never thought I'd see the day, let back in with a good behaviour bond? room looks great btw 👍🏽

Yeh 2 channel audio only, what a bummer. Will probably hold out until bluray too, haven’t watched the movie for ages but remember the surround sound was awesome for its day, made you feel like you were in the sub.

I won't be upgrading from my Node 2, as much as I've heard improvements from a Sonos Connect, then Denon Heos and now the Bluesound, any further improvements to the 2i would have to be minor via coax, on my system anyway! Plus I love the sound from the one I have so no need to chase rainbows anymore!

Knew you couldn’t stay away! 👍🏼

Great buying, I have one and it’s a keeper for sure, won’t find a better streamer for this money.

Very nice and sturdy looking piece of kit for sure!

Spotify want 100% control of the user experience and I can hardly blame them. Spotify connect was created for this very reason and I think has been a huge success for them integrating into other manufacturers hardware. I think the Spotify app is the best streaming experience I’ve seen so thier approach has been successful and they don’t my need to integrate thier software into others. Unless Spotify go down the minority smaller road of high res streaming I can’t see it changing either.

Great thread for the time poor and pretty pictures to boot. Great service! 👍🏼🍺

Hi Terry although never experienced myself I have heard on sna the big difference when linear power supplies were added to a CA 751bd over analogue. If I was a 105, 205 or 752bd owner myself would seem a logical upgrade given the digital inputs on the players. It’s a self install upgrade too from all reports

Do you have music playing when you do all of that? You lost me at coffee table but I suggest just listen to the music its much more enjoyable.

Yeh any product engineered in a 1st world country and manufactured or assembled in China must be crap, just look at that Apple company, rubbish product, they won’t last long!

So there’s issues with existing one but you have to pay to replace it?
