| I am interested to update my 15 year old system ! The albums you have stored on your hard drive as Apple Lossless (ALAC or AIFF I assume) may not always be the same versions of those albums you would stream from Qobuz. Original in AIFF vs. remastered and or high res on Qobuz for example. As t... | |
| I am interested to update my 15 year old system ! I want to add, pay attention to the warnings above on starting vinyl from scratch. Not worth it. @vonhelmholtz nailed it - it will take an uber expensive analog set up to be on par with good digital. Take what you were planning to spend on table ... | |

| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui kairosman 198 posts 06-16-2023 at 04:45am First off Roon is not as good sonically as the Lumin or Aurender apps. If you don't mind ditching Roon get the new Lumin U2 with fiber optic input to start (I have the P1 with the same set of LAN an... | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui Add Bricasti to your list. With an optional network card it’s Roon ready. All you need is your mac mini as roon core and ethernet cable connecting the Bricasti to your network. Clean set up (no streamer needed) and great sound. Pick the model with... | |
| Would It Be Possible To Get Help Finding This Song? @lordmelton nah. I’m sure it’s for the good tunes after Greg’s show. CNN has fake music. Alright now I’m guilty… | |
| Power Cord choices @sinatra try a used TWL Seven Plus. Good value and good improvement over stock cable. | |
| Would It Be Possible To Get Help Finding This Song? @tomagstereo7 there is a list of songs someone complied from Gutfield show on Facebook under greg gutfield page.
