Hi
I use several Bluesound devices in a multi room environment. I use one Node, 2 power nodes (all gen 1) and a NAD M50 linked to my main system.
I used to play from ripped CDs (and some old DAT copies) stored on Synology NAS.
Nowadays, I play almost exclusively from Qobuz.
Sometimes from a smartphone via bluetooth.
My system is mainly wired LAN, but the system in the kitchen is linked through WiFi.
I bought the first node new, then everything else second hand, and the prices are hard to beat.
The sound from the node was not good enough for my main system. So I purchased a DAC (NAD M51) with good reviews (that was years before I discovered ASR) to do the conversion. This was obviously a big improvement.
Then I had the opportunity to get the M50, which was for me even sounding better (that may be my brain though), looks better, and integrates with remote control and other stuffs.
The multi room functionality is why I bought this system, and it works very well for me.
Is there just any valid alternative, playing Qobuz and supporting multi room ?
(Edit: digging around, looks like Roon is the answer to my question...)
(Don't shoot me Amir, but just a stupid question:
Are you sure the bass/treble controls were disabled and not just zeroed? That, for sure, makes a difference one can hear.)
