If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?
@emergingsoul in 3.5 years you started 225 discussions. If touching an ipad screen creates extreme discomfort, forget about figuring out how you’re managing this, but I am curious how have you set up your system? Dictate your components here into ... 
Marantz SA10 sacd player
Just for kicks…can you power it down and reboot it? Not standby but a power cycle. Try it and see if it still behaves the same way.

That’s actually incredible - they basically left you hanging. Marantz is too big to care. That’s sad.

So just to confirm Marantz refused to fix it or refused to cover it under warranty?

If I am not mistaken, the transport in the SA-10 is designed in-house by Marantz. Not sure about parts availability as far as laser pickup goes in this case. Hope you’re not completely out of luck. If it reads hybrid SACD and redbook, just use it.... 
I see the issue with ABX blind testing
@dwcda  … Anyone in an optimized room with a balanced system want to give their impressions on the 7 power cords in this file? hideous audio quality. Hiss, faint and distant. If my system sounded like this power cords would be the last thing ...

OP great! I noticed an improvement when I added ceiling panels as well. Strongly encourage you to treat side walls if possible   
Aurender is finally Roon Ready?!
@lalitk yes I’m super excited about it. Hopefully it’s a matter of days now before it rolls out to N200. Need to try and set up roon to read the SSD mounted inside my N200 when Roon rolls out. I was able to do this with the Auralic I had before. S...

@stievus does Metronome come with an app? If not, then you’re limited to Audirvana, Roon and may be Mconnect. Out of the 3, only the Mconnect doesn’t require a computer to run on…it’s UPnP and is just a control app. Unfortunately it never sounded ... 
Long run XLR cables
Mogami gold should be fine for that.   
Aurender is finally Roon Ready?!
@carlsbad2 the discussion we’re having here is specific to Aurender Roon integration. You must have missed this.  I’ve used Roon for years with great results with several streamers and with others I found the native processing to sound better. So ...

@carlsbad2 don’t take what I said out of context.   
Aurender is finally Roon Ready?!
@stievus first of all it doesn’t work with Aurender and second you don’t need it there. The Conductor app is really good. Roon ready capability is a good feature set expansion. If you bypass the aurender queue processing there’s most likely a comp... 
I see the issue with ABX blind testing
    dwcda OP 9 posts 04-14-2024 at 11:14pm …. That’s my concern with the cables I auditioned. There could be differences but they’re very small and not worth the cost to me I mentioned this in one of my posts earlier in this thread if yo...

I meant the internal processing. Sorry for the confusion.
