At least it's a pure analog source! 😎

When I bought my beolab 50 I connected my beosound 5. It sounded really good. Also listened a bit on youtube through apple tv connected to the tv. I did not analyze the sound quality then.

After moving, I have also used airport express with apple music. Only now I connected beosound 5. What a difference, everything is much better. Stereo image, dynamics and clarity throughout the registry. Beosound 5 through powerlink beats all different audio formats in youtube and apple music both via apple tv and streamed via airport express. If you then connect Beosound 5 via spdif it will be even better. Music via apple products is well received. It is true that paul on ps audio says that apple is abusing the music.

1. Beovision Eclipse 65 via Powerlink

2. Oppo 105D via Coax 

3. Auralic Vega G2 Streamer/DAC (plus next week the Leo GX Clock) via XLR

4. Melco N1ZH60 Music Server via DNLA via the Vega or Eclipse 

 

Hi mr 10%,

Wich of

the sources

do you think sound  best?

 

I am hoping my 50s will arrive this week. I am planning to connect them to a Core by optical and a BV7 by Power Link. That will also give me access through the Master Link system to a Beosound 5 and Beosound 3000.
With a ROON Nucleus connected via USB to the BeoLab 50.

Via eclipse for CC, AP2 and such and a Intel Nuc to eclipse
