Please help with Roon server/core issue
@testrun Hey thanks for this thoughtful response. You may have put your finger on the issue. I notice that the shielding on the fiber is removed where it enters the box. We have also had some internet issues with other devices so it tracks. When ... 
Reasonably priced preamplifier
Pathos Incontrol MK II. Small Italian company with rich but neutral sound. It also has the advantage of low output impedance- which makes it easy to pair with SS amp.  I am not in US but believe that Upscale Audio stock them.  Good luck!  
Qobuz
I subscribe to both Tidal and Qobuz. Every once in a in a while, I have to reboot my Roon server in order to get my Qobuz playlists back. I think the Qobuz suffers from slow processing as well, from time to time  
YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics.
I agree with many things that the op and others have said on this discussion. I just want to add my two cents that even though I am in late middle age, all of the young people that we have come and stay with us love the two channel audio system. E... 
Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs
Hi, I am not an expert but can tell you that I went all in with DH Labs cables and my system felt bright, a bit tinny and lacking in depth. Then I tried just one Snake River Audio cable (the Boomslang SPDIF). I was literally blown away. Since the... 
Warm relaxed digital coax
+1 for Snake River Audio cables. I was using mostly DH Labs, including the SPDIF connecter from my streamer to my DAC. But I was unhappy with the range and flatness of the music, so decided to try the snake river SPDIF cable. WOW. What a differenc... 
Ethernet cables
@jmeyers +1 Just to chime in on the effect of ethernet cables. I switched out the cable from our SoTm network switch to the TV, temporarily replacing it with a Snake River Audio ethernet cable. My partner who normally does not notice cable differ... 
Please help with Roon server/core issue
@zgas-music hey thanks for chiming in. We do not have any wireless at all in the house. This is on purpose as we prefer a wired household. But interestingly, the most helpful solution came from Peter Lie at Lumin . He suggested that I change the ... 
Please help with Roon server/core issue
@carlsbad2 Thanks for telling me a bit of your audiophile equipment history. I can really see myself going to the MU1 in the future. But focused right now on making my NUC/ROCK as stable as possible. It has a very cheap LPS which I plan to upgrade... 
Please help with Roon server/core issue
@fastfreight I see the path pointing me to the Grimm MU1 :) I have a NOS DAC so that might be a good combination. However, strategically I feel I should wait - after having persuaded my non-audio loving partner that our music will be so much bette... 
Please help with Roon server/core issue
@erik_squires OP is a total ignoramus 😂. I meant the internet speed.  
Please help with Roon server/core issue
@audphile1 Yes, I thought I couldn't make any more mistakes in audio but here I am. Honestly it was so helpful to get the responses about the network because these changes are going to makes it more reliable - a legit problem.  
Please help with Roon server/core issue
@audphile1 Yes, I did that and they were crackly. Truthfully everything sounds better in the Lumin app but I prefer Roon. However, I did reseed the WBT connector on my SPDIF BNC to coaxial and that fixed the problem. So I am embarrassed to say tha... 
Please help with Roon server/core issue
@audphile1 I am also starting to think that Roon is fine but I need a different Roon core/server. When I contacted SGC, he said that the problem is my router/modem. However the network is consistently fast when I test it through speed test. I hav... 
Please help with Roon server/core issue
@mapman Yes we do have streaming issues from time to time. Very irritating :) And our geographical location may be the culprit. We live in a small town up the coast of British Columbia about 80 km from Vancouver. Though we do have fiber optic to t...
