Thinking of taking the plunge.
Thank you @mwinkc for correcting me.  
Vote Your Ranking -If you have an opinion on this digital subject
@ghdprentice, I definitely have to agree with your assessment sir. Having bought and used every high end music reproduction format in the last fifty years plus, streaming is absolutely the way to go now in 2022.   
Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO...
I’m a huge fan of @richtruss and Rob Osborne’s ENO Streaming System, which I incorporated into my listening chain this past fall. Both Rich and Rob were extremely helpful with answering all of my questions and concerns about their products and how... 
Tidal vs Qubuz - Steely Dan "Jack of Speed"
I have both Tidal and Qobuz subscriptions that I run through Roon software using a Roon Nucleus as my music streamer. I always choose the recording with the highest bitrate available from either service. Most often my preference is to listen to th... 
Upgrade from modified Bluesound Node 2i and linear power supply (LPS) ?
@txp1, I really enjoyed the Chord Qutest before I got a TT2. It’s a great little DAC! When it comes to streaming music, I’m all in on Roon so I got a Roon Nucleus to stream Tidal and Qobuz. I have it powered by a 19v Sbooster LPS that definitely h... 
Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit
@richtruss, I happen to agree with you that a good streamer running Qobuz, in a dedicated system that is properly filtered, sounds far superior to one that is using a CD transport as its music source. I would never have come to this conclusion wit... 
Need help choosing a new DAC
If you enjoy detail and accuracy in your music I don’t think that you could do any better than demoing a Chord Qutest. I think it’s the best sounding DAC at its price point. And given your budget getting one either new or used would leave you room... 
Appreciate Some Dac Advice
@btscott, that’s awesome! I hope you enjoy the music.  
Appreciate Some Dac Advice
@btscott, I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed owning a Chord Qutest DAC. I believe it to be the best DAC made today at its price point! It’s presentation is neutral and accurate and very easy to listen to. It takes up very little space and it’s bu... 
Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment
In this the second year of the Coronavirus pandemic I decided to make only small tweaks to my system. I added a D-Link network switch and the ENO Ethernet Filter System Ag in front of my ROON Nucleus music server, and an Audiowise SRC.DX USB to co... 
Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound
My ROON Core is located in my ROON Nucleus Rev B. All it does is allow me to choose between which music on Tidal or Qobuz that I would like to hear. The Nucleus has its own linear power supply, and has RFI eliminating filters front and back, which... 
What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.
I use ROON + Tidal and Qobuz for my internet music streaming. I’m all in on ROON, so for me getting a ROON Nucleus as my streamer and powering it with an 19v Sbooster LPS was an easy choice. It’s essentially plug and play, and the ROON software is... 
a remarkably basic question about Roon
@northman, I started my ROON internet music streaming journey when storing my thousands of records and CD’s anywhere in our tiny townhouse became impractical. I also thought that I’d give the 21st century a try. 😀 So I downloaded the ROON trial on... 
Ready For Digital Source...Computer?
@high-amp, at some point you'll definitely need to get your laptop out of your listening chain. But if you can't right now while you're taking the time to find a dedicated music streamer that fits your budget and your lifestyle, I would suggest th... 
Amps In Wall Or Conditioner?
@tvad, I have my ROON Nucleus, Chord Hugo M Scaler, Hugo TT2 DAC, Woo Audio WA22 headphone amp, my network switch, and my router, all plugged into an AudioQuest Niagara 1200 power conditioner, which is plugged into the wall using an AQ Thunder pow...
