| Quick roon question You should theoretically be able to keep your hard drive plugged into the Bryston and run roon core on your laptop. I can’t guarantee that it will work this way with the BDP2 but I was able to set this up with my Auralic. When you install roon on ... | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport @gelle I thought about the Nucleus. However, I needed a wifi capability. Didn’t want to run more wires for an access point, EtherRegen, etc. @thyname I felt like I owe you all an update. Things I’m not in love with right off the bat...1 - Lightnin... | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport Update...The Aries G-1 has about 48hrs of play time by now. I’ve been running it round the clock non-stop. Initially it sounded a bit “new” but is evolving nicely. At this point I am running the Lightning DS with Qobuz and the HDD with my AIFF CD ... | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport @georgehifi George I also have faith in the Marantz. I know what I’m looking for from the player and I have a pretty good idea of my system‘s capabilities. We’ll see how it goes. | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport Appreciate everyone’s thoughts and feedback. Since I started this discussion, night after night I proved to myself that a CD does sound a lot better than the same album rip played thru the Mac Mini. While I don’t doubt that running the Mini wired ... | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport @mountainsong Could you please clarify...the Aurender, streaming from Qobuz, does not match the sound of your Luxman D-03x? Is the Aurender driving the Luxman on-board dac? | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport @lalitk yup...thought about google wifi mesh. It’s an option. The reason why Auralic Aries G1 peaked my interest is because it potentially sounds better via wifi (Darko talks about it in his review on youtube). With all the wires I already have be... | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport Thank you all for the responses. Really appreciated. Here’s some more detail on my set up...my apologies in advance for a long rant...File formats-AIFF CD rip using iTunes;Qobuz hi-res, redbook. Roon corr on Mac Mini, wireless. I do not have the m... | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport I run Roon on the Mini. It is bit berfect and definitely sounds better than iTunes. Also as I mentioned in my post, the Wyred USB reclocker helped as well. | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport George...Marantz CD6000 Original SE. Your answer is what I was afraid of. Luckily I still have all my CDs in boxes up in the attic. | |
| Cartridge Upgrade - Nagaoka or Goldring I know that specs are not always everything and the Nagaoka gets good reviews. But I read the specs for 1042(Nude diamond line contact) and Eroica LX(elliptical) I like the sound of the E3 but have heard nothing else on my table except it and the ... | |
| Do I really need a separate Roon Core (computer) to use Roon Software? I use Mac Mini 2018 to run the Roon Core. Wireless. Mac Mini to DAC via usb. Control with my iPhone or iPad. No complaints. | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts I will share my thoughts and how I landed with the Qutest. My decision was based on the comparison I conducted in my own system. I had an opportunity to compare 4 DACs:1. Mytek Brooklyn DAC+2. Chord Qutest3. Bryston BDA-3.14 (streamer DAC, used pu... | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts theo thanks!alex nice videos! Bach cello prelude sounds great! | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts Ended up with the Chord Qutest. Very happy with it. Not much to complain about. With the Warm (orange) filter, it is smooth, throws a large soundstage. No listening fatigue, not analytical and just draws you in. A joy to listen to. |
