| Suggestions for Digital and Analog Connections? I did the comparison when I had an Auralic Aries G1 streamer between USB and AES/EBU and the USB sounded better. The cables were Audience AU24SE+ USB and Fadel AES/EBU. Definitely not apples to apples but take it for what it’s worth. | |
| Roon question -- Android tablet working as Roon Remote can't find Roon Core each morning Similar to my Roon setup. Except I named the eero wifi differently from the router wifi.

| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? It depends how resolving your setup is and what you’re looking for in a new cables. I recently borrowed Kimber KS1136 and Audience AU24SX to compare with my Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper. Every set had a unique sound signature. I was pretty sure t... | |

| Too Much Gain the Issue ? (preamp and amp) @avanti1960 is the XA30.8 brand new? | |
| Too Much Gain the Issue ? (preamp and amp) @avanti1960 I experience zero brightness, harshness or any type of sibilance issues with my XA30.8. I pair it with a Pass XP-12 preamp (9.3db total gain) using XLR cables. Could be a combination of mismatched impedance exacerbated by too much gai... | |
