I absolutely love my B1. It felt like a total spurge at the time, but I really wanted to hear the second Neil archive in good quality (and on my stereo as opposed to headphones on the work laptop). And with the amount of use it gets, it's worth every penny. I futzed for ages trying to find something similar. I picked up a used AirPort that did OKAY...but was a total headache after awhile. The B1 was a revelation.tragabigzanda wrote:First listen through the Audioengine B1 is Random Access Memories in 24/96 FLAC and it sounds great. The Bluetooth AAC codec bumps it down to 24/48 transmitted at 256kbps, but because both devices natively support AAC (and I’ve wiped my iPad of literally everything except for Amazon Music), the idea is that there should be no audible difference between wireless and Apple’s native wired fidelity (a DAC connector for the iPad would upend all of this, offering 24/96 with no bandwidth limitations).
The album sounds detailed and smooth, although the top end is still a little glassy for my liking. I think it has more to do with the mastering job. I’ll A/B some warmer recording this weekend between vinyl and the B1.
Some great reading is here:

We've got one on the horizon in the fall (hopefully that'll be in for some time) but man alive I'm dreading it.
I hear you. I moved long distance twice in two years, with a possible third (likely local) at the beginning of next year. Really starting to question this hobby.super nintendo chalmers wrote:With every move, I've grown to hate my records more and more.

do you live in a restoration hardware store with a strip of sod on the wall that spike's wife pulled up from mowing over the weekend?tragabigzanda wrote:After nearly 10 months of saving up, yesterday I bought a pair of Klipsch Forte IVs:
Due to arrive in a week. Also bought some high end silver speaker cable. Will break them in over their designated 200 hours on my humble Yamaha integrated receiver before upgrading to some fancy amplifier equipment.
- Spoiler: show
First listens will probably be Riot Act, A Ghost Is Born, Nels Cline’s Lovers, and something recorded by Albini.
