| 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... | |
| Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith @dfurry, I like your streaming system setup. Presently I’m just using a $20 L-Com Ethernet cable going from my router to my D-Link network switch. But I’ve got a Network Acoustics streaming cable going from the D-Link switch to an ENO Ethernet fil... | |
| Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith @jmphotography, when I really started getting heavily into streaming music when the pandemic hit almost a couple of years ago, I was looking for the simplest plug and play solution that also sounded great, where the updates were automatic, and one... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope Right on femoore12. I think this whole discussion about snake oil is based upon one guy wanting to exert control over others because he possibly lacks control in other areas of his own life. I unfortunately went through this same tawdry pooh party... |
