| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? @kingbr I just searched in Qobuz albums for “test tones” and the Audio Line Up came up first on the search results. Were you able to use it to verify your clock/DAC connections? | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @lalitk very interesting! So this basically cleaned up the signal. I have only tried cheap converters from Amazon and didn’t like the effect - it thinned the sound. It’s interesting you never know if something will bring by an improvement. I rece... | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? What happens when you search for test tones in Qobuz? | |
| What % Of Your System Are Your Cables? Are we counting cost of stands/racks, dedicated lines and acoustic treatment, as well as other tweeks some may have into the total system cost? If that’s the case, my cables are about 13% of the total. | |
| Streamer question @chrisg1000 you say Roon core is on an SSD plugged into the NAS how is that possible? Roon provides requirements for the Core to run correctly. You need an OS to install Roon, you need CPU and memory to run it. What you’re saying here with yo... | |
| Streamer question That’s a nice DAC. Consider a higher end streamer. But I don’t know what you mean by need to get rid of USB. What connection are you looking to use? | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid Cool. If you liked it go for it. You mentioned Crown. That is like making whiskey soda with a 25 year old Macallan. | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid And the fun begins!!! Lol Many amps will work well with the Wilsons as long as they’re capable of high current delivery. I would not do McIntosh. But Pass, Gryphon, Boulder, D’Agostino, SimAudio Moon the latest North series should be good. Amp i... | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid Congratulations! Ex B&W owner. I was going to say the closest thing will be the Wilsons. They sound real and alive. Slightly more laid back than the B&Ws but in a good way. I highly recommend having your new Wilsons set up by your dea... | |
| Streamer question What’s your budget? | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A @rauliruegas I get it. But…I’m enjoying the music with my system and I do not hear IMD. Neither do I need to obsess over it because… According to Wilson Audio… The tweeter is isolated internally from the midrange and woofer drivers with the latt... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @lalitk yeah that makes sense. It’s exactly what I mentioned in my earlier post. This is the right way to do Roon with a purpose built hardware. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @lalitk I used my N200. Prior to buying the N200 I was using the network card in the Bricasti DAC as Roon endpoint. N200 sounds way better Roon or not. I first started using Roon back when I was still streaming with Mac Mini probably 2018-2019 So... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @lalitk I wonder what that leap in sound quality was due to. I’m assuming you’re still using your N30S? I’ve spent weeks of critical listening with my N200 / Bricasti M3 combo comparing Roon to Conductor. No luck for me. I actually ditched Roon - ... | |
| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp Pass XA30.8 used within your price range. Warmer but less dynamic than the X250.8 that’s also in your price range used. Coda no.8 is another option. This amp is faster, more articulate than the Pass but still retains natural tone and is clear and... |
