from 459 reviewsThe NAD C538 is a compact CD player with a few surprises. Surprise one is build quality. Although the disc draw is nothing special, the case work and finish are first rate. Surprise two is how well it sounds when used as a transport. With my admittedly older (but good quality) DAC, the C538 took on the sound quality of the DAC and lost the slightly too polite NAD sound. Finally, the C538 sounds good as an integrated CD player. Full bass, lush midrange, but slightly too warm overall. Recommended.
The Oberon 3 are fantastic bookshelf speakers. Very detailed and balanced sound with a surprisingly good bass for their small size. Highly recommend.
Our open-box Bluesound NODE arrived quickly and in like-new condition. It was easy to configure and more importantly, sounds great.
Really happy with the node. I’ve read a lot of reviews mentioning connectivity/reliability issues. I’ve had none. I use it mostly with tidal connect and to play local files I have on some external drives. It’s been nothing but easy to use and reliable. It’s got me thinking about adding some satellite speakers and setting up a whole house system. Thanks to the Audio Factory for a great deal!
I was a little wary of buying a refurbished product. Audio Factory seemed to have a good reputation online though, so I decided to go forward with the purchase. I'm happy to say that the CD player arrived looking practically like new and in flawless working order. It's tough to find a good dedicated CD player these days if you're on a budget and don't want to play thrift store roulette. This is a great player and a fantastic value for the price. If you're hesitant, pull the trigger, you won't be disappointed.
Works perfect l!
Noting that I really like the Dali-sound (and have other pairs of Dali speakers), I bought these for my office system. They do require a little bit of run-in time to really get them to where they will be, but after that initial run-in time (Dali suggests about 100 hours), you will find yourself listening with pleasure (and a little bit of amazement). Highly recommended!
I had the older Powernode 2i w/o HDMI. I recently got new Martin Logan tower speakers and decided to get a new Powernode for the extra power and the arc port. The refurb Powernode I received looks brand new. Sounds great, I can actually tell a (subtle) difference in the sound for the better and the arc port is great as I have one cable now from the tv and can control volume with tv remote. Very happy with the product and The Audio Factory. The unit arrived super fast and well boxed. Highly recommended, would buy from them again.
Compared to the Node, the Node X offers a better DAC and superior headphone circuits. The improvements are audible, particularly with the attack of notes and dynamic range. More hi-fi sounding. Silver finish is well applied. And - it comes with a remote, a nice addition. The implementation of HDMI ARC makes this really nice as part of an integrate audio-video system - it gets along very well with my TV.
This was purchased to update a Node version 2 and really pleased with the purchase! While it looks great (which is good but not as important as the sound), the Node X performs exactly as expected (streaming through an external DAC so I can’t speak to the internal DAC) and a stellar purchase!
I upgraded from a Bose SoundTouch 300 soundbar and sub, to the Bluesound PULSE SOUNDBAR+ with Sub. What a difference!
Most notably are the clarity of the sound when compared to the bose, especially in the mid-range. Listening to some lossless quality songs, I was hearing new things in nearly every song, New phrases or instruments that were hidden or muddled in the Bose. The Soundbar+ delivers a high quality audio experience.
The sub in my view is 100% necessary, It delivers deep base, that is missed when using the sound bar without the sub.
The installation was straight forward and I only had a couple of issues. I think my install was helped by the following:
1) Hardwired internet connection to the Soundbar+
2) 8K HDMI cables, specs well above minimum requirements for the Sound bar +
3) Solid WiFi, using a WiFi6 mesh router, which uses channels that are not in use by my neighbors wifi systems.
4) Sub uses WiFi in item 3.
Installation woes, had issues pairing the sub. Partly due to mistakenly not waiting for the firmware updates to fully process and install. Also had issue with repeatedly entering the incorrect wifi password. (my bad!)
Ended up having to do a system reset on the Sub after the updates were processed and installed. Once the system reset was applied the sub installed and paired without issue.
Was also wary of reports that the soundbar + was not loud enough. I found that when compared to the bose soundbar i would use volume as a remedy to get more sound from the muddled mid-range, with the soundbar+ i noticed that it seemed less loud but way more detailed in audio of the bluesound bar. Cranking the volume up with the Soundbar+ it gets louder but it never distorted or clipped, where the bose sound would start to get sloppy as you got louder. The soundbar + gets plenty loud for my loft style living room, notice that the sound is clean, crisp and clear when compared to the older bose unit.
The audible difference is noticeable, there is a quality with the soundbar + that the bose was missing.
So far very impressed with the Soundbar+ and sub.
Excellent customer service. %0D%0AGreat speakers %0D%0A✌🏻
The Dali IO-4 do not have a noise cancelling button. If you are looking for noise cancelling then you should look at the Dali IO-6. The Dali IO-4 do not have a great deal of range. Signal break up starts maybe 10 feet from the source. The Dali OI-4 do have a gorgeous sound. I would put them in the same category as the Shure Ionic 50, as having a sound you cannot believe is coming from a pair of bluetooth headphones. The strength of these headphones is their magnificent sound stage, which is very broad. European classical music, big band jazz, movie scores are done well by them. They have decent bass, but that should not be a reason to buy them. That said, if my mood turns to small group jazz, I do not get up and change to another pair of headphones. If you are not a bass head or a detail junky, but a person who listened to maybe a different genre of music every night; if you a person who likes the freedom (within limits) of a good pair of wireless headphones, then you might find Dali IO-4 headphones a good investment in a good time.
Wow these PSB X2T speakers are fantastic and complement my set up too.
I was very happy with my Node which was purchased a year ago. I previously have used Sonos and this is superior in every way. Just bundled with 2 additional Nodes for a total of 3. Now I have a seamless whole house audio system. The price was fair on the bundled Nodes and shipping was prompt.
